341: Blind Spot Angle Verification

Automotive Diagnostic Podcast ·

2026/03/01

This week on the show I share our experiences with calibrating blind spot modules/sensors on vehicles that have been in a collision. In addition to the standard radar calibration, the physical mounting angles of the sensor must be measured and adjusted if damage occurred. Listen to hear our solution to measuring both the vertical and horizontal angles.

Automotive Diagnostic Podcast ·

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2017 BMW X1 that has a large draw that's killing the battery (6amps!) I take my usual approach to a "network staying awake" problem, but don't get to the conclusion. The issue forced me to take a different approach to find the solution.

Today I share 2 more vehicles that we dealt with recently- A 2017 Toyota Camry and a 2018 Chevrolet Malibu.

327: Strategic Part Replacement

Automotive Diagnostic Podcast ·

2025/11/17

Today on the show I share a thought process that I've been adding into my diagnostic decision making. We weigh the value of any test method we perform- How much time/effort/cost does a test require? How much does it tell me/how many things does it eliminate? When faced with a time consuming, difficult, (and often intermittent) diagnostic challenge, should we consider that a part replacement is the cheapest AND most effective test that we could perform? Is this the best value for the customer ...

This week on the show I share a case study on a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. Not charging, no power steering, idle surging, stalling at idle, no heated seats or rear defrost... All this and NO codes anywhere. A strange problem for sure, but it seems oddly familiar to a vehicle I diagnosed back in 2020.

Automotive Diagnostic Podcast ·

2025/10/25

We often deal with strange control module issues- codes, warning lights, communication faults, or reduced functions. While the causes are numerous for each individual situation, one thing that may "fix" the issue is a battery disconnect or capacitive discharge. I'll share 3 vehicles today where a CAP discharge was the fix for strange problems.
