Electro chemical Degradation Causes Cooling System Failure

Cooling System Failure on  Chevy Vehicle  Q: Mechanic said  electrochemical degradation causing cooling system failure. It seems to be a hidden problem with some vehicles which causes radiator failure. I read a car-care article describing how to check for stray voltage using a DVM. So I took some measurements. I put the negative probe on the engine ground and positive in the coolant of the surge tank of my 2005 Chevy Equinox. I measured +200mVDC with the engine off and about +240mVDC with it running. The engine was only cool to warm when I did this cautiously. Is this too high of a voltage? Will this cause problems with my cooling system in the future? What can I do if it is a problem? A: First Off all i will say, Electrochemical degradation of the cooling system is a problem in today’s vehicles; this chemical reaction is called electrolysis. What is Electrolysis the details are a follows:--- Electrolysis involves an ion exchange between the coolant and th...

Consequences of using wrong fuel

Wrong Gas fill up in Car Q: What are the consequences when you inadvertently pumped diesel fuel into an automobile gasoline tank. I have been told this happens frequently.Any quick fix when these occurs? A: The biggest problem I’ve seen is a headache. Why a headache? Because the driver of the vehicle doesn't happen to mention as I am going bats trying to diagnose a starting and rough running problem that they PUT THE WRONG FUEL IN!! Oh, "I didn’t think I put that much in so I didn’t think is was worth mentioning". In our region even the diesel fuel pumps have the same size nozzles as the unleaded fuel pumps. But in real,yes this does happen. When it does happen, the best and quickest fix is to drain the gas tank. It doesn't take much diesel fuel to really screw up today’s computerized vehicle’s. Not saying anything is just going to cost you labor$ until you tell the whole true.

Vehicle Computer Module Reset

How to Reset ECM/ECU Car Computer Reset Or Car Computer Software Reset Q: Options for dumping the computer by taking the negative terminal off and touching it to the positive for 20 seconds to clear the computer of any stored codes. If so, will a vehicle that’s equipped with air bags, possibly deploy the air bag? A: Actually it’s a common practice to disconnect both battery terminals and not only hold them together but to connect them for the duration of the service being performed. For example when servicing the air bags some vehicles require the battery cables being joined for 15 minutes to a half hour before performing service or repairs that involve the air bag system. It is not uncommon for today’s vehicles to have several computers on-board. Inside the computers there are capacitors that will hold/store electrical energy. Connecting the battery cables provides a means of dissipating this stored energy without causing any harm. In most cases (not all vehicles) th...
