6.0L Scan Tool Diagnostics Procedures
The days of the shade tree mechanic are numbered unless he or she learns to use a scan tool. Diagnosing engines today is not what it was ten or twenty years ago. A computer can now diagnose a vehicle in a matter of minutes. Today’s motors are so sophisticated that it takes a computer system to truly figure out what is actually wrong with it. The 6.0L is no exception to this rule. A scan tool device is needed to properly diagnose problems that occur in the motor because it can communicate with the over 400 sensors that control the motor. If you have a problem with your truck and do not have access to a good scan tool device, you can spend a fortune throwing parts at the motor and get nowhere. Watch this series to see how various scan tool tests are run to determine problems in a 6.0L.
Video 1 – Introduction to Diagnostic/Scan Tools:
· Introduction into scan tool importance.
· Explanation of the terms used in this section.
Video 2 – Different Scan Tool Options:
· Differences in scan tool devices.
· Discussion of the capabilities of Ford’s IDS system.
· Discussion of the capabilities of the AutoEnginuity system.
Video 3 – Retrieving Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s):
· Discussion on DTC’s and how to use them to determine problems.
Video 4 – AutoEnginuity’s Scan Tool Diagnostic System:
· How to properly install, hook up and run the AutoEnginuity Diagnostic system on your computer.
· Numerous tips that will save you considerable time configuring the system for the 6.0L Powerstroke.
Video 5 – Key-On-Engine-Off (KOEO) Injector Buzz Test:
· KOEO Injector Buzz test is a diagnostic procedure that allows the injectors to be buzzed sequentially by the onboard computer. This test is to diagnosis the electrical parts of the injector to see if they are functioning correctly. This test can be very useful for the diagnosis of Cold-Start situations
· Demonstration of how to buzz the injectors on the truck.
Video 6 -- Key-On-Engine-Off (KOEO) On-Demand Test:
· On Demand test. This is a test where the onboard computer checks every circuit in the drivetrain, both sensors and control devices. This determines if all circuits are connected and operating properly.
· This test is extremely useful after an engine R+R to verify that all engine harness connections have been properly plugged in.
· Demonstration of how the on demand test works and what parameters it is used to test.
Things to consider: This is a very important test to complete after major engine work has been done.
Video 7 – Key-On-Engine-Running (KOER) Test:
· KOER Test; the scan tool prompts the onboard computer to perform a dynamic test of all input devices on the drivetrain. This is a very effective test to determine that control systems of the vehicle are functioning within proper parameters.
· Demonstration of how to perform this test and what it can determine about your truck.
Video 8 – Sensor Isolation:
· By monitoring sensor output in a real-time drivability situation a tech is able to determine the component that is causing a problem.
· Once a fault code has been generated, it is very important to isolate the system in question.
· How to properly isolate sensors to determine problems.
Video 9 – Scan Tool Conclusions:
· Now that you have accumulated the data on the vehicle it is time to make decisions about what components are not functioning properly.
· Conclusions on scan tool usage and why they are important.
Special Tools:
· AutoEnginuity Scan Tool Diagnostic System
· Ford IDS (Integrated Diagnostic System )
· Flash tuner devices such as SperChip’s FlashPAQ, SCT Tuner’s SCT X3, Etc…
