This 2001 Mazda Miata is the owner s daily go kart. It was running great until it refused to start. The ANTI-THEFT light is doing some weird stuff, and the PCM is fussing about the Immobilizer setting a P1624-IMMOBILIZER FAULT.

Another fancy Ford (Lincoln), and another intermittent parasitic battery DRAIN... Customer already replaced the battery TWICE, and his wife tells him that having a dead battery in the morning is unacceptable! This loaded Lincoln MKX has over 30 modules on board, so we need to take a focused scientific data-driven approach to pinpoint the problem. Yes, you NEED A SCOPE! By the way, there are NO CODES STORED on any of the modules to give us any clues... In Part 1 I verify the customer complaint and see which of the 4 CAN NETWORKS is waking up. In Part 2 we pinpoint exactly which module is the culprit without tearing anything apart :) LINCOLN MKC DRAW 7-HOUR DIAGNOSIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9wqHhWlT14 IVAN S PICO WAVEFORMS: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kLC2OEz_wloVkwXr6QV6lLiNBpzDIb5o?usp=share_link TOPDON TORNADO 90000 BATTERY CHARGER: https://www.topdon.us/discount/PineHollow10?redirect=%2Fproducts%2Ftornado-90000 10% DISCOUNT CODE!
