https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/26594bcb-8d11-4894-8c4f-bf8b7cf3bcd1 On this particular car (Nissan), we have a no start with no spark and we will review a topic I've covered many times called "control testing". First I will show you how to test for coil control with a test light, then we will move to the Picoscope to really drive home the point. This was filmed in 2016 with my class at Rosedale Technical College #RosedaleTechnicalCollege #tradeschool #SDPremium. Don't let the age of the car deceive you into thinking this lesson in no spark diagnostics won't help you on today's cars. It will! 100% of everything I go over is still relevant today!
