Re: Hitachi ZW220-7

Hi Bruno, Thanks for uploading this capture and hopefully Martin was able to help you to decode your CAN data. Going a bit further on this and you may already have this information. The transmission rate for the NOx sensors is 50ms. The easiest way to determine the refresh rate is to look for the so...

Re: When relative compression steers you in the wrong direction

Hello both, Firstly - thank you Sharpy and yes, always something to learn! As I said above, being able to adapt the process following an experience like the above shows that we can grow as technicians. Maniekdaniel - thank you for your comment. You are right that an intake pulse would have highlight...

Re: TA496 vs TA473

Hi, In theory it should do. However, TA018 tends to have some problems with really low current as seen on the following webpage. https://www.picoauto.com/products/current-clamps/picobnc-60-a-dc-compact-current-clamp. This possible ‘sawtooth’ may hide the CAN current when you start to look closer. It...

Re: On 2023 Peterbilt trucks with VECU architecture, what is the SA 39 for?

Hello, Unfortunately I don’t have any information other than what’s available from the body builders instructions I’ve found on the internet. The best way to determine what PGN’s might be present is to capture CAN data with Pico using the J1939 serial decode guided test. This will allow you to then ...

Re: PQ333

Hello, To confirm the difference between PQ333 (the 4425A Off Highway Scope) and PQ174 (generic 4425A PicoScope) is a different rubber case and a different plastic base on PQ333 to allow a more secure fit for the rubber case. Underneath the case the scope is exactly the same. I will ask the question...

Re: TA496 vs TA473

Hello, Firstly I must apologise for the late reply. There are some differences between the two clamps. Firstly the jaw size. The TA473 has a slightly bigger opening in the jaw allowing cables up to 12mm compared to the TA496 which has a jaw opening of 9mm. This can be useful for battery drain measur...

Re: Newbie picoscope user

Hi, Welcome to the forum! The scope you have is certainly a pocket rocket but missing some key features when it comes to usability within the garage environment. Please see the following post which talks through some of the differences between the T&M products and the Automotive products. https://ww...

When relative compression steers you in the wrong direction

What I love about working in this industry is that there is always something to learn. Unfortunately, the most important learning moments are when you get something wrong, overlook something or let your diagnosis be led by previous reports. This happens to the best of us and should never be somethin...
