2: This
waveform was taken at the fuel pump relay (power side of fuel pump) with a
current clamp after fuel had been added to the empty fuel tank. Note the Freq
(Hz) is 79.26 and multiply this by 60 sec. to find the RPM of the fuel pump
was 4755.6 RPM.
1: This
vehicle was towed in with a no start. When the fuel pressure was tested there
was only 5PSI. The fuel gauge had a reading of ¼ tank. The fuel pump
current was the next test. The amp clamp was placed at the fuel pump relay.
Note the Freq (Hz) is 152.91 and multiply this by 60 sec. to find the RPM
of the fuel pump was 9174.6 RPM. This fuel pump was rotating too fast. Possible
causes are no fuel in the tank or the fuel pump had separated from the electric
motor.
3: This
2002 Nissan MAF sensor had failed causing low power and DTC PO171. This sensor
was out of range by 20% which is a very large amount. The signals under the
MAF signal are the four O2 sensor signals. Note: The MAF signal was intercepted
by the EScope and modified.
4: This
Cadillac had multiple shorted injectors. The top screen shows the voltage
waveforms. The bottom screen shows the Amp clamp waveforms for three injectors.
The two shorted injectors are the white trace and the blue trace. The purple
trace is a good waveform.
5: This
shows the crank sensor in red, the rectified RPM signal in yellow and the
EST signals in blue and green.
6: This
GM vehicle was still running and came into the shop for an intermittent stalling
problem. The vehicle never stalled but the problem was found using an Amp
clamp on the power wire to the fuel pump.
7: These
signals are during cranking. The yellow and red traces are distributor timing
signals. The green trace is the coil primary. The blue trace is the ASD primary
or control side of the relay. The white trace is the secondary side of the
ASD relay. The purple trace is the signal from the logic module to the power
stage for the module.
10:
This shows the front and rear O2 sensor signals. The yellow and red traces
are the front O2 sensors. The green and blue traces are the rear O2 sensor
signals.
9: This
signal is from a Windstar van. The yellow trace is the CAM sensor signal.
The red trace is the crank sensor signal.
11.
This vehicle was cutting out. The yellow trace is the MAF signal, red trace
is the 12V power, and green trace is ground.
12. This stacked chart shows the timing
signals and the injector waveforms. Note the injectors are out of sequence
and the orange trace shows 50ms of on time. This is a logic problem in the
PCM.
