1998 OPEL FRONTERA battery location

6E–166
4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0650 (Flash DTC 77)
Check Engine Lamp Circuit Open/Short
060RW136
Circuit Description
The check engine lamp circuit receives through Meter
10A fuse the battery, current flowing in the order of Meter
and check engine lamp.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P0650 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
lamp test display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the check
engine lamp. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If the Tech 2 indicate DTCs P0650 and P0381, check the
meter circuit necessarily.

4JX1–TC ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1589 (Flash DTC 47)
Transmission SW Circuit Open/Short
060RW131
Circuit Description
The trans mission SW circuit receives current through
ELEC IG 10A fuse from the battery, current flowing in the
order of the trans mission SW and ECM.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The ECM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
The ECM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
DTC P1589 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 “Clear
Info” function or by disconnecting the ECM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM – Inspect harness connectors
for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the
throttle position display on the Tech 2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses related to the TP
sensor. A change in the display will indicate the
location of the fault.
If DTC P1589 cannot be duplicated, the information
included in the Failure Records data can be useful in
determining vehicle mileage since the DTC was last set.

8B–2WIPER/WASHER SYSTEM
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.
Windshield Wiper/Washer System
General Description
The circuit consists of the starter switch, windshield wiper
& washer switch, windshield wiper motor, windshield
washer motor and windshield intermittent relay.When the wiper & washer switch is turned on with the
starter switch on, the battery voltage is applied to the
wiper motor to activate the wiper.
The washer motor squirts glass cleaning fluid while the
washer switch is being pushed. The intermittent relay is
used to control motion of the wiper.
Windshield Wiper And Washer Switch
Removal and Installation
Refer to the Lighting Switch (Combination Switch) in
Lighting System section.
Windshield Wiper Motor
Removal
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Disconnect the connector.
3. Remove 4 mounting bolts.
4. Remove the windshield wiper motor(1).

The chassis electrical system is a 12–volt system with a
negative ground polarity.
Wire size are appropriate to respective circuits, and
classified by color. (The classification of harnesses by
color is shown on the circuit diagram for ease of harness
identification.)
The wire size is determined by load capacity and the
length of wire required.
The vehicle harnesses are: body harness, chassis
harness, engine room harness, instrument harness,
transmission harness, engine ECGI harness, dome light
harness, door harness, rear body harness, tailgate
harness, SRS harness and battery cables.
The harnesses are protected either by tape or corrugated
tube, depending on harness location.
The circuit for each system consists of the power source,
wire, fuse, relay, switch, load parts and ground, all of
which are shown on the circuit diagram.
In this section, each electrical device is classified by
system.
For major parts shown on the circuit based on the circuit
diagram for each system, a summary, diagnosis of
troubles and inspection procedures are detailed.
Notes for Working on Electrical
Items
Disconnecting the Battery Cable
1. All switches should be in the “OFF” position.
2. Disconnect the battery ground cable (2).
3. Disconnect the battery positive cable (1).
CAUTION: It is important that the battery ground
cable be disconnected first. Disconnecting the
battery positive cable first can result in a short circuit.
Connecting the Battery Cable
Follow the disconnecting procedure in the reverse order.CAUTION: Clean the battery terminal and apply a
light coat of grease to prevent terminal corrosion.
Disconnecting the Connector
Some connectors have a tang lock to hold the connectors
together during vehicle operation.
Some tang locks are released by pulling them towards
you (1).
Other tang locks are released by pressing them forward
(2).
Determine which type of tang lock is on the connector
being handled.
Firmly grasp both sides (male and female) of the
connector (3).
Release the tang lock and carefully pull the two halves of
the connector apart.
Never pull on the wires to separate the connectors (4).

Circuit Breaker
The circuit breaker is a protective device designed to
open the circuit when a current load is in excess of rated
breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of
overload condition in the circuit, the excessive current will
open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals.
The reset knob (1) pops out when the circuit is open. Push
the reset knob in place to restore the circuit after repairing
it.
Relay
Battery and load location may require that a switch be
placed some distance from either component. This
means a longer wire and a higher voltage drop (1).
The installation of a relay between the battery and the
load reduces the voltage drop (2).
Because the switch controls the relay, amperage through
the switch can be reduced.
