Videos - Automotive guided tests

The automotive diagnostic videos provided here show you what you can do with your Automotive Diagnostics Kit. They are an invaluable training resource and demonstrate how PicoScope and the Automotive Diagnostics Kit can be used to find a variety of vehicle faults.

Automotive guided tests

Gasoline direct injection - injector voltage

The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control voltages from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

Gasoline direct injection - injector voltage and current

The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control voltage and current from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

Gasoline direct injection - injector current

The purpose of this test is to check the Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) injector control current from an Engine Control Module (ECM).

Multi-point petrol injection - injector voltage

The purpose of this test is to monitor the injector voltage within a multi-point injection system.

Multi-point petrol injection - injector voltage and current

The purpose of this test is to monitor the injector voltage and current to determine the integrity of the injector circuit and the operation of the injector.

Multi-point petrol injection - injector current

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the operation of a multi-point port injector based on current flow, response, and formation during engine-run conditions.

CAN bus - physical layer

The purpose of this test is to determine the physical integrity of a Controller Area Network (CAN) bus by checking its low (CAN-L) and high (CAN-H) line voltages.

CAN bus - serial decoding

The purpose of this test is to view and evaluate Controller Area Network (CAN) bus messages in their number, rather than voltage, form.
