C1284 / C1285 Codes
I am trying to run downC1284 and C1285 errors. My scantool does not let me see the live values of the lateral accelerometer voltage. What scan tool should I get on a budget? I have autotel al519 now. I assume it cannot be as easy as replacing the lateral sensor. Also recommendations for a good ebcm repair company.
Thank you in advance!

You may have a bad sensor, wiring, or EBCM. You can measure the voltages right at the sensor...it's 3 wires...5 volt ref., a low ref.(ground) and a signal wire. How much you looking to spend ??...you can get a Chinese clone Tech 2 for $300-$400 dollars...best thing is that it has bi directional capabilities !!

I measured at the connector and it read 4.95v. It is supposed to read .15v - 4.85v, but that is without the accelerometer connected. I really would prefer not to spend $300 on a scanner. I like buying tools but thankfully I have used the cheapo scanner I own maybe one time. It bi-directional capability what I am looking for?

You still need to check the low reference and signal...you would jump the 5 volt ref. to the signal and see if the PCM via the scan tool is seeing 5 volts but unfortunately you can’t see that voltage with your scan tool... you may just have to shot gun parts and hopefully it won’t cost you more than a Tech 2 would cost...you don’t need a bi directional scan tool but it would help down the road with future issues you may have...nice being able to turn things like fans, pumps, solenoids, etc on and off.
