Diagnostic Aids
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Isuzu Trooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check for poor, loose or corroded connections in PCM and ISM connections located on top of intake manifold. Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals and poor terminal connection. Inspect wiring harness for damage. If harness appears to be okay, use scan tool to observe KNOCK PRESENT, KNOCK SENSOR NOISE CHANNEL display while moving connectors and harnesses. A change in display will indicate location of fault. If DTC can not be duplicated, reviewing scan tool FAILURE RECORDS data can be useful in determining mileage and frequency of DTC occurrence.
