The injector current ramp waveform is a great diagnostic test performed with an oscilloscope and amp clamp. In this video I am using the PicoScope 2204A along with the Hantek CC-65 amp clamp. By scoping the injector current we can diagnose a number of aspects; continuity, injector opening, resistance and internal short circuits!
