What Will OBD3 Change About On Board Diagnostics & Your Car? • Carmunity Discussion
OBD 2 has been around for about 25 years and has made DIY diagnosis a lot faster and easier, but technology has changed a lot since 1996. What changes do you think OBD 3 will bring, if it happens at all? If you don't think OBD III will exist at all, why?
OBD2 was a standard put into place to make every car have the same diagnostic port and keep all the codes the same across all makes and models. As a positive side effect, that change made scan tools more affordable and easy to use, which helped make DIY diagnostics and repairs more reasonable. With that in mind, OBD3 should be another step in the right direction, but will it be? The only way to know for sure is when we start hearing about it when it comes out, but speculation is fun and welcome in the comments section.
If you are curious about OBD1, which was simply known as OBD at the time, it was a general on-board diagnostic system that had plugs specific to the manufacturer, and sometimes manufacturers changed their designs over the years, too! It started out as an assembly line diagnostic port that would be used during vehicle construction to make sure electrical equipment was functioning properly.

FINAL
finally-fixing-the-gto-traction-control
For about three years, i have had the issue with this GTO where the traction control gets stuck "off" when I have the lights on. It was a quirky problem with a deceptively simple solution. Turns out the signal coming from the aftermarket LED brake and tail light combo bulbs was not what the body control module was expecting, and I was able to fix the issue by wiring up a resistor in parallel to the brake light circuit, not the tail light circuit like I had initially done.

THE D
the-difference-between-wheel-bearings
Wheel bearing vs wheel hub: Are they interchangeable terms, and if not, what's the difference? This quick video will explain the differences and some of the variants you should also be aware of! Wheel bearings allow the wheels to rotate while attached to parts that don't rotate with it, and they may spin free or be driven by an axle. Some bearings are sensor free, some have part of the sensor in them (in the form of a magnetic field), and some have the entire sensor unit within them.

INERT
inertia-switch-impact-sensor
This is an inertia switch (sometimes called an impact sensor) out of a Ford. Steve takes the sensor apart to show the moving parts inside and to explain how it functions, both mechanically and electronically. Impact switches can be connected to different things, but this one's primary role is to allow power to pass through it to the fuel pump unless an impact with enough force is detected. It will then shut off the fuel pump so that it won't keep running if a fuel line breaks in the accident.
After a car accident with this particular kind of switch, a technician must locate this switch and press the button to reset it. Different switches may self-reset or be a one-time-use design.
On rare occasions, running over a large pothole or other major road imperfection may be enough to dislodge the ball in this switch, causing the fuel pump to stop pumping fuel. This will cause the engine to stop running a few seconds later.

THE W
the-wiper-blade-rant-unnecessary-wipes
Steve needs a minute or so to talk about wiper blades. Rear wipers on so many cars make an extra wipe that they don't have to, and if it was necessary, that speed/urgency can be selected already.
Also, what's with all the different rear wiper blade attachment designs? Every manufacturer seems to want to come up with a different size attachment pin or a slightly different guide, and none of these designs actually improve the wiper in any way!
These designs make replacing rear wiper blades needlessly more difficult for DIY consumers and pros alike, and can sometimes even result in broken wiper arms.
Bosch Icon wiper blades are mentioned twice, and Trico rear wiper blades are mentioned once, but neither of them are affiliated with Cars Simplified.

http://carssimplified.com/ - The Cherry Bomb is one of the fastest cars ever built in the Fallout universe/timeline. Even vehicles like this, though, didn't survive the day the bombs fell. This vehicle is able to be driven in the video game Forza Motorsport 6.
This may be a one-time thing, or it could become a series. It all depends on what kind of reception this video gets. If you're interested in other fictional cars, you can check out this page of our web site: http://carssimplified.com/x/fictional/

A Cars Simplified Quick Info video about grease.
The products shown in this video (Valvoline Multi-Purpose Grease, Green Grease, and Mystik Grease) are just what were on hand at the time of video production, and are not an endorsement by Cars Simplified. More details on these NLGI No. 2 greases can be found at the following links:
Valvoline Multi-Purpose Grease: https://amzn.to/2xi1fRK
Omni Lubricants Green Grease: https://amzn.to/2Qt0luw
Mystik Grease Tube: https://amzn.to/2p8ToSN
Would you like us to do another video on grease? Let us know, and be sure to hit that red and tacky subscribe button!
#CarsSimplified #CarsSimplifiedOldVideos #CarsSimplifiedEarlyHits #Grease #Valvoline #MysticGrease #GreenGrease
Automotive greases are vital for moving components outside of the engine and driveline components that don't get a lubricant pump or gears to move a lubricating fluid around. A good grease lubricates, keeps friction to a minimum, and doesn't just leak out of where it is needed.

I THI
i-think-the-tesla-cybertruck-is-a-design
The Tesla Cybertruck got quite a mixed response when it was revealed in 2019. I like the design, but now in 2022, with production delayed until early 2023 (at the time of this video being uploaded), all we can do is speculate. My speculation is that the Cybertruck's design is meant to get its foot in the door with far better aerodynamics than the competition, which it can then improve upon in the second generation. This second generation Cybertruck (possibly with a different name) would appear more conventionally aerodynamic, and competitors will have a tough time keeping up with their traditionally brick-shaped trucks, or will be written off as copying the Tesla design if they try to change things up for improved aerodynamics. Perhaps, if there ends up being a Tesla Cybertruck design change before then, they will be putting this plan into motion faster, but I think that's probably too fast. We'll see if this is what Elon Musk has in mind with time, but for now, it's all just fun speculation. Don't buy, sell, or hold TSLA stock shares based on this.

STRUT
strut-tower-brace-installation-(subaru
This video will walk you through installing a front strut tower bar (also called a strut tower brace, strut bar, or strut brace) on your 2018 to 2022 Subaru Crosstrek or 2017-2023 Impreza and WRX. While the video shows how to install a Cusco branded brace, it also includes information about other brands, so you can either follow along or know what's available on the market. Remember to read your installation instructions, as there will definitely be information in them you need to know!
0:00 • Unwrapping The Intro
0:17 • Some Assembly or Disassembly Required (Maybe)
0:29 • Fresh Fit
0:46 • You're Nut Gonna Want To Skip This Step
1:03 • Move The Brace Into Place
1:18 • Don't Squeeze Your Hose
1:28 • You're Nut Gonna Want To Skip This One Either
1:49 • Brace For No Impact (Use a Torque Wrench Instead)
2:15 • A Really Apeeling Strut Bar
Note: There are a few different places these bars can end up, depending on the brand. If you have a top-mount intercooler, you may need to more carefully consider which brand you go with. The Perrin Performance option appears to be the option closest to the firewall/back of the engine bay, at least at the time this video went public on YouTube.
Cusco Strut Bar, Front: https://subimods.com/products/cusco-front-strut-tower-bar-2018-2022-crosstrek-2018-2022-impreza
Perrin Performance Strut Tower Brace, Black: https://subimods.com/products/perrin-front-strut-tower-bar-black-2018-2022-crosstrek
Note: These Subimods urls are not affiliate links, they are just the vendor I bought mine from, with the Cusco strut bar link being the exact product I used. They are based in Connecticut, so if you're local to them, you can pick it up in person like I did.
Fun fact: You could actually buy these Subaru Crosstreks with dealer-installed "flexible" STi strut tower braces. The flex may have allowed the body to flex more than these aftermarket options, but wouldn't have had as strong of an effect on the handling, I speculate. Crosstrek Part Number: E4010FL001
