Service Precaution
WARNING: IF SO EQUIPPED WITH A
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS),
REFER TO THE SRS COMPONENT AND WIRING
LOCATION VIEW IN ORDER TO DETERMINE
WHETHER YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR
NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING. WHEN YOU ARE PERFORMING SERVICE
ON OR NEAR THE SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS
WIRING, REFER TO THE SRS SERVICE
INFORMATION. FAILURE TO FOLLOW WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN POSSIBLE AIR BAG
DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM REPAIRS.
CAUTION: Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location. When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners, use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.

(7) Drive Belt
The drive belt adjustment is not required as automatic

Inspection
Check drive belt for wear or damage, and replace with a
new one as necessary.
Installation
Install cooling fan assembly and tighten bolts/nuts to the
specified torque.
Torque : 22 Nꞏm (2.2 Kgꞏm/16 lb ft) for fan pulley
and fan bracket.
Torque : 10 Nꞏm (1.0 Kgꞏm/88.5 lb in) for fan and
clutch assembly.
NOTE: Fan belts for 6VE1 Gasoline Engine mounted on
98MY (UX) have been brought into one. As a result, the
rotating direction of a fan belt is opposite to the direction

interchangeability.
Therefore, incorrect installation of a fan may cause the air
for cooling to flow in the opposite direction, this resulting
in the poor performance of the air-conditioner and a rise
temperature in engine cooling water.

6D3–18STARTING AND CHARGING SYSTEM
Charging System
General Description
The IC integral regulator charging system and its main
components are connected as shown in the illustration.
The regulator is a solid state type and it is mounted along
with the brush holder assembly inside the generator
installed on the rear end cover.
The generator does not require particular maintenance
such as voltage adjustment.
The rectifier connected to the stator coil has eight diodes
to transform AC voltage into DC voltage.
This DC voltage is connected to the output terminal of
generator.
General On–Vehicle Inspection
The operating condition of charging system is indicated
by the charge warning lamp. The warning lamp comes on
when the starter switch is turned to “ON” position. The
charging system operates normally if the lamp goes off
when the engine starts.
If the warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged
or overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform
diagnosis by checking the charging system as follows:
1. Check visually the belt and wiring connector.
2. With the engine stopped, turn the stator switch to
“ON” position and observe the warning lamp.
If lamp does not come on:
Disconnect wiring connector from generator, and
ground the terminal “L” on connector side.
If lamp comes on:
Repair or replace the generator.

Removal
1. Disconnect battery ground cable.
2. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using wrench
then remove drive belt (1).
3. Disconnect the wire from terminal “B” and disconnect
the connector (4).
4. Remove generator fixing bolt (3).
5. Remove generator assembly (2).
060RW002
Inspection
1. Disconnect the wiring connector from generator.
2. With the engine stopped, turn starter switch to “ON”
and connect a voltmeter between connector terminal
L (2) and ground or between terminal IG (1) and
ground.
066RW001If voltage is not present, the line between battery and
connector is disconnected and so requires repair.
3. Reconnect the wiring connector to the generator, run
the engine at middle speed, and turn off all electrical
devices other than engine.
4. Measure battery voltage. If it exceeds 16V, repair or
replace the generator.
5. Connect an ammeter to output terminal of generator,
and measure output current under load by turning on
the other electrical devices (eg., head lights). At this
time, the voltage must not be less than 13V.
Installation
1. Install generator assembly to the position to be
installed.
2. Install generator assembly and tighten the fixing bolts
to the specified torque.
To r q u e :
M10 bolt: 41 Nꞏm (4.2 Kgꞏm/30 lb ft)
M8 bolt: 21 Nꞏm (2.1 Kgꞏm/15 lb ft)
3. Connect wiring harness connector and direct terminal
“B”.
4. Move drive belt tensioner to loose side using wrench,
then install drive belt to normal position.
5. Reconnect battery ground cable.

ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Engine Cranks But Will Not Run
StepNo Ye s Va l u e ( s ) Action
131. Remove any ignition coil and install a spark tester at
the spark plug end of the coil.
2. Observe the tester while the engine is cranking.
Was a crisp, blue spark observed? Only one or two
sparks followed by no result is considered the same as
“No Spark.”
—Go to Step 15Go to Step 14
14Replace the ignition coil, and return to Step 13 to test
the remaining coils.
Is the action complete?
—Verify repair—
15Repeat Step 13 for each coil. Remove only one coil at a
time, and reinstall each coil on its spark plug after
testing, but do not refasten coils with screws at this
time.
After all coils have passed the spark test, does the
engine start?
—
Refasten all
coils with
their screws
Go to Step 16
161. Remove the spark plugs from all cylinders.
2. Visually inspect the spark plug electrodes.
3. Replace any spark plugs with loose or missing
electrodes or cracked insulators.
Did your inspection reveal any spark plugs exhibiting
excessive fouling?
—
Correct the
fouling
condition
Go to Step 17
17Refer to Engine Mechanical Diagnosis to diagnose the
following conditions:
Faulty or incorrect camshaft drive belts
Leaking or sticky valves or rings
Excessive valve deposits
Loose or worn rocker arms
Weak valve springs
Incorrect valve timing
Leaking head gasket
Is the action complete?
—Verify repairGo to Step 19
18Observe the “Engine Speed” data display on the scan
tool while cranking the engine.
Is the engine RPM indicated? (If the scan tool is
normally powered from the cigarette lighter socket, and
if the scan tool display goes blank while cranking the
engine, it will be necessary to power the scan tool
directly from the vehicle battery.)
—Go to Step 19Go to Step 28
191. Disconnect the 7-pin gray connector at the rear of
the air filter beneath the point where the air duct
attaches to the MAF sensor.
2. Ignition “ON.”
3. Using a test light connected to ground, probe the
ignition terminal at the PCM (female) side of the
7-pin connector.
Is the test light “ON?”
—Go to Step 20Go to Step 26
