Glad to hear your daughter is okay. If the airbags didn't deploy on a collision that caused that much damage you might want to go over the entire system and make sure all your impact sensors are functional. It's possible that the system was not functioning correctly but didn't throw any codes.
I tried to buy a clone through chinacardiags a while ago but found the process less than desirable. When ordering the website indicated that they had something in stock but after the order was confirmed I received an email indicating that shipping was delayed due to low stock and then they tried...
I think its in the 280k km range now so not super high mileage. I've already confirmed that the injectors are flowing as they should using the Tech2 diagnostic feature. The miss is only very slight and not very pronounced at idle. You can barely feel the misfire at idle with your hand on the...
It happens to mine every time I try to do anything with live data. If I am just reading codes or interacting with the vehicle in any other way it’s fine. I’ve tried many of the same things you have and I don’t think it’s on the truck side because it was at a dealership a number of years ago to...
Hey folks - I'm tracking down a persistent misfire (which has grown more frequent with time) in my 04 Burb which only seems to occur when in tow/haul mode, even when not pulling anything. Live data shows misfire on 1 & 6 that trigger the CEL with a very small number of misfires logged in the...
When I’m troubleshooting electrical issues I always use a separate 12v source to isolate motors and switches. I don’t have one of those fancy 12v probes, I just use some jumpers jammed into a 12v cordless tool battery. You can open up connectors and test individual components or you can back...
Thanks for this. I will do a search and see what I can come up with. I’ve been over most of the grounds due to a previous electrical issue (bad engine ground) but will have a look at them again.
Other devices and the VCXNano stay connected for all functions besides the live data collection. I haven’t had a chance to try out that function on another GM vehicle to see if it’s software/hardware or the truck.
Yeah, everything is up to date with the latest firmware and the licenses are valid. I’ve also tried a new cable to no avail. I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s a wiring issue on the truck side but I’m not sure where to start investigating.
Hi folks - I am having some connection issues with my VCX Nano running Tech2Win on an old laptop. I am attempting to chase down a persistent misfire issue in my 04 Burb SLT AWD. Whenever I attempt to collect live data the VCX Nano always drops the signal - at best I can get about 30 secs of...
Tried disconnecting the trailer brake controller which is the only aftermarket item I can find and still nothing - keeps booting me out of live capture data. A bit stumped and not sure what to try next. If the cam/crank sensors are out of sync or defective would I need to be able to do this...
Been attempting to run the cam/crank correlation for two days now but I cannot seem to complete it. I am using a VCXNano to interface with the truck and Tech2win to talk to the ECM. I installed the setup as directed and it works fine as long as you are not accessing live data. In this situation...
Alright, finally got a pressure tester that would fit and did a compression test - here are the results:
Fuel injector balance test
- all injectors powered up to ~59-60psi, dropped momentarily to ~40psi and the cycled down to 32psi
Compression test results
1 - 150psi 2 - 155
3 - 160. 4 -...
I am going to pick up pressure and compression testing tools tonight on loan from the local auto parts store. The plan is to do those tests tomorrow along with trying the coil balance test as well.
I’m new to the Tech2 as well but from my understanding you can use it to test the injectors in place. You need to connect a fuel pressure gauge as well - I assume that is to monitor the pressure as the injectors are cycled through.
Delco plugs if I remember correctly and Denso wires. 270k km on the engine. I haven’t done a compression test on it since buying it at 225k km. Should probably look at that now.
Moving a coil from 1 to 3 had no effect. Plugs and wires are new(ish), within 25k km. #1 plug shows good. Tech2 is still showing persistent misfire in tow/haul but only occasional in regular mode. Should I be looking at cam position sensor or just move onto fuel?
