Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Isuzu Rodeo Sport and 2002 Isuzu Rodeo. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Perform On-Board Diagnostic II System Check. See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC II SYSTEM CHECK under SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. After performing OBD-II system check, go to next step.
- Attempt to start engine. If engine starts, go to next step. If engine does not start, go to step 6 .
- Check CB-11 METER (15-amp) fuse located in dash fuse box. If fuse is okay, go to next step. If fuse is blown, go to step 16 .
- Turn ignition on. Using test light connected to ground, probe ignition feed circuit at instrument cluster harness connector I-1 terminal No. 14 (Yellow wire). See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. For further aid, see appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT. If test light illuminates, go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 13 .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM Red 32-pin harness connector C1. PCM is located under center console in front of shifter. Connect a jumper wire between ground and PCM harness connector C-1 terminal A13 (White/Green wire). See Figure . Turn ignition on. If MIL illuminates, go to step 10 . If MIL does not illuminate, go to step 11 .
- Check CB-12 ENGINE IG (15-amp) and EB-13 ECM (15-amp) fuses. If fuses are okay, go to next step. If fuses are blown, go to step 15 .
- Turn ignition off. Disconnect PCM 32-pin harness connectors C-1 (Red) and C-3 (White). PCM is located under center console in front of shifter. Turn ignition on. Using test light connected to ground, probe PCM battery feed circuits at PCM harness connector C-3 terminal E16 and F16 (both wires are Red/Blue wire). If test light illuminates, leave test light connected to ground and go to next step. If test light does not illuminate, go to step 12 .
- Probe PCM battery feed circuit at PCM harness connector C-1 terminal A4 (Red/White). If test light illuminates, go to next step. If the test light does not illuminate, go to step 12 .
- Check for poor, loose or corroded PCM ground connections. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete. If no problem is found, go to next step.
- Check for poor, loose, corroded or damaged terminals in PCM harness connectors. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete. If no problem is found, go to step 17 .
- Check for an open in White/Green wire (MIL control circuit) between PCM and MIL. If problem is found, repair as necessary. After repair, observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete. If no problem is found, go to step 18 .
- Substitute PCM main relay with a known-good relay. See instructions in TEST DESCRIPTION . PCM main relay is located in fuse/relay box in engine compartment. Observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, replace PCM main relay. If MIL still does not operate, go to next step.
- Repair open in Red/Blue wire (ignition feed circuit) between PCM main relay and PCM. After repair, observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete.
- Repair open in Red/White wire (battery feed circuit) between EB-13 ECM (15-amp) fuse and PCM. After repair, observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete.
- Locate and repair short to ground in PCM ignition feed circuit or PCM battery feed circuit. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Replace fuse. Observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete.
- Located and repair short to ground in ignition feed circuit between instrument cluster and dash fuse box. See WIRING DIAGRAMS article. Replace fuse. Observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete.
- Replace and reprogram PCM. See POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT under POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. Use scan tool to clear DTC and verify repair.
- Check MIL driver circuit for poor connection at instrument cluster connector. If problem is found, repair as necessary. Observe MIL. If MIL operates properly, testing is complete. If no problem is found, diagnose problem in instrument cluster. See appropriate INSTRUMENT PANELS article in ACCESSORIES & EQUIPMENT.
