6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
dissatisfaction. The following list of non-vehicle faults
does not include every possible fault and may not apply
equally to all product lines.
Fuel Quality
Fuel quality is not a new issue for the automotive industry,
but its potential for turning on the MIL (ªCheck Engineº
lamp) with OBD II systems is new.
Fuel additives such as ªdry gasº and ªoctane enhancersº
may affect the performance of the fuel. If this results in an
incomplete combustion or a partial burn, it will show up as
a Misfire DTC P0300. The Reed Vapor Pressure of the
fuel can also create problems in the fuel system,
especially during the spring and fall months when severe
ambient temperature swings occur. A high Reed Vapor
Pressure could show up as a Fuel Trim DTC due to
excessive canister loading. High vapor pressures
generated in the fuel tank can also affect the Evaporative
Emission diagnostic as well.
Using fuel with the wrong octane rating for the vehicle
may cause driveability problems. Many of the major fuel
companies advertise that using ªpremiumº gasoline will
improve the performance of the vehicle. Most premium
fuels use alcohol to increase the octane rating of the fuel.
Although alcohol-enhanced fuels may raise the octane
rating, the fuel's ability to turn into vapor in cold
temperatures deteriorates. This may affect the starting
ability and cold driveability of the engine.
Low fuel levels can lead to fuel starvation, lean engine
operation, and eventually engine misfire.
Non-OEM Parts
All of the OBD II diagnostics have been calibrated to run
with OEM parts. Something as simple as a
high-performance exhaust system that affects exhaust
system back pressure could potentially interfere with the
operation of the EGR valve and thereby turn on the MIL
(ªCheck Engineº lamp). Small leaks in the exhaust
system near the post catalyst oxygen sensor can also
cause the MIL (ªCheck Engineº lamp) to turn on.
Aftermarket electronics, such as transceivers, stereos,
and anti-theft devices, may radiate EMI into the control
system if they are improperly installed. This may cause a
false sensor reading and turn on the MIL (ªCheck Engineº
lamp).
Environment
Temporary environmental conditions, such as localized
flooding, will have an effect on the vehicle ignition system.
If the ignition system is rain-soaked, it can temporarily
cause engine misfire and turn on the MIL (ªCheck Engineº
lamp).
Refueling
A new OBD II diagnostic was introduced in 1996 on some
vehicles. This diagnostic checks the integrity of the entire
evaporative emission system. If the vehicle is restarted
after refueling and the fuel cap is not secured correctly,
the on-board diagnostic system will sense this as a
system fault and turn on the MIL (ªCheck Engineº lamp)
with a DTC P0440.Vehicle Marshaling
The transportation of new vehicles from the assembly
plant to the dealership can involve as many as 60 key
cycles within 2 to 3 miles of driving. This type of operation
contributes to the fuel fouling of the spark plugs and will
turn on the MIL (ªCheck Engineº lamp) with a P0300
Misfire DTC.
Poor Vehicle Maintenance
The sensitivity of OBD II diagnostics will cause the MIL
(ªCheck Engineº lamp) to turn on if the vehicle is not
maintained properly. Restricted air filters, fuel filters, and
crankcase deposits due to lack of oil changes or improper
oil viscosity can trigger actual vehicle faults that were not
previously monitored prior to OBD II. Poor vehicle
maintenance can't be classified as a ªnon-vehicle faultº,
but with the sensitivity of OBD II diagnostics, vehicle
maintenance schedules must be more closely followed.
Related System Faults
Many of the OBD II system diagnostics will not run if the
PCM detects a fault on a related system or component.
One example would be that if the PCM detected a Misfire
fault, the diagnostics on the catalytic converter would be
suspended until Misfire fault was repaired. If the Misfire
fault was severe enough, the catalytic converter could be
damaged due to overheating and would never set a
Catalyst DTC until the Misfire fault was repaired and the
Catalyst diagnostic was allowed to run to completion. If
this happens, the customer may have to make two trips to
the dealership in order to repair the vehicle.
Emissions Control Information Label
The engine compartment ªVehicle Emissions Control
Information Labelº contains important emission
specifications and setting procedures. In the upper left
corner is exhaust emission information. This identifies
the emission standard (Federal, California, or Canada) of
the engine, the displacement of the engine in liters, the
class of the vehicle, and the type of fuel metering system.
There is also an illustrated emission components and
vacuum hose schematic.
This label is located in the engine compartment of every
vehicle. If the label has been removed it should be
replaced. It can be ordered from Isuzu Dealership.
Visual / Physical Engine Compartment
Inspection
Perform a careful visual and physical engine
compartment inspection when performing any diagnostic
procedure or diagnosing the cause of an emission test
failure. This can often lead to repairing a problem without
further steps. Use the following guidelines when
performing a visual/physical inspection:
Inspect all vacuum hoses for pinches, cuts,
disconnections, and proper routing.
Inspect hoses that are difficult to see behind other
components.
6E±35
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Inspect all wires in the engine compartment for proper
connections, burned or chafed spots, pinched wires,
contact with sharp edges or contact with hot exhaust
manifolds or pipes.
Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
NOTE: Lack of basic knowledge of this powertrain when
performing diagnostic procedures could result in an
incorrect diagnosis or damage to powertrain
components. Do not attempt to diagnose a powertrain
problem without this basic knowledge.
A basic understanding of hand tools is necessary to effec-
tively use this section of the Service Manual.
Serial Data Communications
Class 2 Serial Data Communications
Government regulations require that all vehicle
manufacturers establish a common communication
system. This vehicle utilizes the ªClass 2º communication
system. Each bit of information can have one of two
lengths: long or short. This allows vehicle wiring to be
reduced by transmitting and receiving multiple signals
over a single wire. The messages carried on Class 2 data
streams are also prioritized. If two messages attempt to
establish communications on the data line at the same
time, only the message with higher priority will continue.
The device with the lower priority message must wait.
The most significant result of this regulation is that it
provides Scan tool manufacturers with the capability to
access data from any make or model vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on other Scan tools will appear the
same, with some exceptions. Some Scan tools will only
be able to display certain vehicle parameters as values
that are a coded representation of the true or actual value.
On this vehicle the Scan tool displays the actual values for
vehicle parameters. It will not be necessary to perform
any conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD II)
On-Board Diagnostic Tests
A diagnostic test is a series of steps, the result of which is
a pass or fail reported to the diagnostic executive. When
a diagnostic test reports a pass result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
The diagnostic test has passed during the current
ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is not
currently active.
When a diagnostic test reports a fail result, the diagnostic
executive records the following data:
The diagnostic test has been completed since the last
ignition cycle.
The fault identified by the diagnostic test is currently
active.
The fault has been active during this ignition cycle.
The operating conditions at the time of the failure.Remember, a fuel trim DTC may be triggered by a list of
vehicle faults. Make use of all information available (other
DTCs stored, rich or lean condition, etc.) when
diagnosing a fuel trim fault.
Comprehensive Component Monitor
Diagnostic Operation
Comprehensive component monitoring diagnostics are
required to monitor emissions-related input and output
powertrain components. The
CARB OBD II
Comprehensive Component Monitoring List Of
Components Intended To illuminate MIL
is a list of
components, features or functions that could fall under
this requirement.
Input Components:
Input components are monitored for circuit continuity and
out-of-range values. This includes rationality checking.
Rationality checking refers to indicating a fault when the
signal from a sensor does not seem reasonable, i.e.
Throttle Position (TP) sensor that indicates high throttle
position at low engine loads or MAP voltage. Input
components may include, but are not limited to the
following sensors:
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor
Throttle Position (TP) sensor
Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor
Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor
Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
In addition to the circuit continuity and rationality check,
the ECT sensor is monitored for its ability to achieve a
steady state temperature to enable closed loop fuel
control.
Output Components:
Output components are diagnosed for proper response to
control module commands. Components where
functional monitoring is not feasible will be monitored for
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are not
limited to, the following circuits:
Control module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve
Electronic Transmission controls
A/C relays
VSS output
MIL control
Cruise control inhibit
Refer to PCM and Sensors in General Descriptions.
Passive and Active Diagnostic Tests
A passive test is a diagnostic test which simply monitors a
vehicle system or component. Conversely, an active test,
actually takes some sort of action when performing
diagnostic functions, often in response to a failed passive
test. For example, the EGR diagnostic active test will
force the EGR valve open during closed throttle decel
and/or force the EGR valve closed during a steady state.
Either action should result in a change in manifold
pressure.

Updates the Fail Record each time the diagnostic
test fails
IMPORTANT:Only four Fail Records can be stored.
Each Fail Record is for a different DTC. It is possible that
there will not be Fail Records for every DTC if multiple
DTCs are set.
Special Cases of Type B Diagnostic Tests
Unique to the misfire diagnostic, the Diagnostic Executive
has the capability of alerting the vehicle operator to
potentially damaging levels of misfire. If a misfire
condition exists that could potentially damage the
catalytic converter as a result of high misfire levels, the
Diagnostic Executive will command the MIL to ªflashº at a
rate of once per second during those the time that the
catalyst damaging misfire condition is present.
Fuel trim and misfire are special cases of
Type B
diagnostics. Each time a fuel trim or misfire malfunction is
detected, engine load, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature are recorded.
When the ignition is turned off, the last reported set of
conditions remain stored. During subsequent ignition
cycles, the stored conditions are used as reference for
similar conditions. If a malfunction occurs during two
consecutive trips, the Diagnostic Executive treats the
failure as a normal
Type B diagnostic, and does not use
the stored conditions. However, if a malfunction occurs
on two non-consecutive trips, the stored conditions are
compared with the current conditions. The MIL will then
illuminate under the following conditions:
When the engine load conditions are within 10% of
the previous test that failed.
Engine speed is within 375 rpm, of the previous test
that failed.
Engine coolant temperature is in the same range as
the previous test that failed.Storing and Erasing Freeze Frame Data and Failure
Records
Government regulations require that engine operating
conditions be captured whenever the MIL is illuminated.
The data captured is called Freeze Frame data. The
Freeze Frame data is very similar to a single record of
operating conditions. Whenever the MIL is illuminated,
the corresponding record of operating conditions is
recorded to the Freeze Frame buffer.
Freeze Frame data can only be overwritten with data
associated with a misfire or fuel trim malfunction. Data
from these faults take precedence over data associated
with any other fault. The Freeze Frame data will not be
erased unless the associated history DTC is cleared.
Each time a diagnostic test reports a failure, the current
engine operating conditions are recorded in the
Failure
Records
buffer. A subsequent failure will update the
recorded operating conditions. The following operating
conditions for the diagnostic test which failed
typically
include the following parameters:
Air Fuel Ratio
Air Flow Rate
Fuel Trim
Engine Speed
Engine Load
Engine Coolant Temperature
Vehicle Speed
TP Angle
AP Angle
MAP/BARO
Injector Base Pulse Width
Loop Status
Intermittent Malfunction Indicator Lamp
In the case of an ªintermittentº fault, the MIL (ªCheck
Engineº lamp) may illuminate and then (after three trips)
go ªOFFº. However, the corresponding diagnostic trouble
code will be stored in memory. When unexpected
diagnostic trouble codes appear, check for an intermittent
malfunction.
A diagnostic trouble code may reset. Consult the
ªDiagnostic Aidsº associated with the diagnostic trouble
code. A physical inspection of the applicable sub-system
most often will resolve the problem.
Data Link Connector (DLC)
The provision for communication with the control module
is the Data Link Connector (DLC). It is located at the
lower left of the instrument panel behind a small square
cover. The DLC is used to connect to the Tech 2 Scan
Tool. Some common uses of the Tech 2 are listed below:
6E±39
6VE1 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
Identifying stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
Clearing DTCs.
Performing output control tests.
Reading serial data.
TS24064
Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions
Beginning in 1996, Federal Regulations require that all
auto manufacturers selling vehicles in the United States
provide Scan Tool manufacturers with software
information to display vehicle operating parameters. All
Scan Tool manufacturers will display a variety of vehicle
information which will aid in repairing the vehicle. Some
Scan Tools will display encoded messages which will aid
in determining the nature of the concern. The method of
encoding involves the use of a two additional numbering
systems: Binary and Hexadecimal.
The binary number system has a base of two numbers.
Each digit is either a 0 or a 1. A binary number is an eight
digit number and is read from right to left. Each digit has a
position number with the farthest right being the 0 position
and the farthest left being the 7 position. The 0 position,
when displayed by a 1, indicates 1 in decimal. Each
position to the left is double the previous position and
added to any other position values marked as a 1.
A hexadecimal system is composed of 16 different alpha
numeric characters. The alpha numeric characters used
are numbers 0 through 9 and letters A through F. The
hexadecimal system is the most natural and common
approach for Scan Tool manufacturers to display data
represented by binary numbers and digital code.
Verifying Vehicle Repair
Verification of vehicle repair will be more comprehensive
for vehicles with OBD II system diagnostic. Following a
repair, the technician should perform the following steps:
1. Review and record the Fail Records and/or Freeze
Frame data for the DTC which has been diagnosed
(Freeze Frame data will only be stored for an A or B
type diagnostic and only if the MIL has been
requested).
2. Clear DTC(s).
3. Operate the vehicle within conditions noted in the Fail
Records and/or Freeze Frame data.
4. Monitor the DTC status information for the DTC which
has been diagnosed until the diagnostic test
associated with that DTC runs.
Following these steps are very important in verifying
repairs on OBD ll systems. Failure to follow these steps
could result in unnecessary repairs.
Reading Diagnostic Trouble Codes Using
The Tech 2 Scan Tool
The procedure for reading diagnostic trouble code(s) is to
use a diagnostic Scan Tool. When reading DTC(s), follow
instructions supplied by tool manufacturer.
Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes
IMPORTANT:Do not clear DTCs unless directed to do
so by the service information provided for each diagnostic
procedure. When DTCs are cleared, the Freeze Frame
and Failure Record data which may help diagnose an
intermittent fault will also be erased from memory.
If the fault that caused the DTC to be stored into memory
has been corrected, the Diagnostic Executive will begin to
count the ªwarm-upº cycles with no further faults
detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared from the
PCM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
diagnostic Scan Tool ªclear DTCsº or ªclear informationº
function. When clearing DTCs follow instructions
supplied by the tool manufacturer.
When a Scan Tool is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting
one of the following sources for
at least thirty (30) seconds.
NOTE: To prevent system damage, the ignition key must
be ªOFFº when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.
The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery PCM connectors, etc.
The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of other
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).
