We recently diagnosed a 2015 Ram 3.0L Eco diesel that came in with a long crank and hard-start condition. Using an oscilloscope, we were able to analyze the crankshaft position signal and spot an irregularity in the waveform that pointed us directly to the problem. Further inspection confirmed a missing section of magnet on the tone wheel, causing the incorrect signal. Accurate diagnostics like this allow us to find the root cause without guesswork or unnecessary parts replacement.

Vehicle problems don't always begin with a warning light. Changes in fuel economy, unusual vibrations, strange smells, difficulty starting, or new noises can all be early indicators that something needs attention.
Catching issues early often helps prevent larger repairs later.

2015 Jaguar XJR — Intermittent No-Crank/No-Start Diagnostic

This XJR came in with an intermittent no-crank/no-start condition, warning lights across the dashboard, and 125 communication-related fault codes stored across multiple modules, including the ECM, TCM, BCM, ABS, and fuel system.

After verifying that both batteries were healthy, we tested the vehicle’s communication networks at the diagnostic connector. The high-speed bus showed an intermittent open circuit. Using an oscilloscope, we were able to view the CAN communication signals directly. The medium-speed network was communicating normally, while the high-speed CAN network was intermittently dropping out.

Using the wiring diagrams, we began isolating sections of the high-speed network. Disconnecting the main communication connector between the interior and the engine bay restored communication, narrowing the fault to the engine-bay side of the network.

From there, we disconnected the ECM and ABS individually, with no change. Once the TCM was unplugged, communication immediately returned to normal. We repeated the test several times to confirm the failure.

Final diagnosis: a failed TCM/mechatronic unit was intermittently taking down the high-speed CAN network.

This is why proper electrical diagnostics matter. At Skyline, we don’t guess. Through years of combined experience, proper tooling, and ongoing education, we get to the root cause of even the most complicated issues.

One of the easiest ways to improve road safety is maintaining a safe following distance. The recommended rule is at least 3 seconds behind the vehicle in front of you, with additional distance during rain, heavy traffic, or poor visibility.
A little extra space can give you more time to react and help reduce the risk of accidents.
