Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of the ªDiagnostic Trouble Codesº mode is to
display stored PCM trouble codes.
When ªDiagnostic Trouble Codesº is selected an
ªApplication Menuº screen appears.
Clear DTC Information
The purpose of the ªClear DTC Informationº mode is to
command the clearing of stored PCM trouble codes.
When ªClear DTC Informationº is selected, a ªClear DTC
Informationº, warning screen appears. This screen
informs you that by cleaning DTC's, ªall stored DTC
information in controller will be erasedº.
Do you want to clear DTC's (Yes/No).
Press either the Yes or No key when answering.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to shift through all four forward gears in a
manner which attempts to repeat the failure condition.
NOTE: When the trouble has not been repaired and the
trouble code cannot be erased, check the vehicle again.
DTC Information
When ªDTC Informationº is selected, an ªApplication
Menuº appears with a list of DTC information function
keys addressing DTC specifics and their origins.
Function key selections may vary for particular vehicle
and/or system.
Data Display
The purpose of the ªData Displayº mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all important sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
When ªData Displayº is selected an ªApplication Menuº
appears. Please select either ªEngineº or ªTransmission
Data Displayº.
See ªTransmission Dataº on next page.
Snapshot
When ªSnapshotº is selected an ªApplication Menuº
appears.
When ªTransmission Snapshotº application is selected
from the ªApplication Menuº, a ªSnapshot Menuº
appears, displaying several options. ªSnapshotº options
may vary from one system to another.
ªSnapshotº allows a recording of all vehicle parameters.
There parameters may then be replayed at a future point
in time.
This action allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault. The snapshot will collect
parameter information around a trigger point that you
select.
When a snapshot is taken. It is recorded onto the
PCMCIA memory card. When the Tech 2 is powered
down. Snapshots are not lost.
Actuator Tests
The purpose of ªActuator Testsº mode is to check for
correct operation of electronic system actuators.Lamps
You can operate the lamps by pressing the ON and OFF
buttons.
Preconditions: none
Solenoid
Solenoid 1-2/3-4, Solenoid 2-3, TCC Solenoid
You can operate the solenoids by pressing the ON and
OFF buttons.
Preconditions: P±N position, no vehicle speed, no engine

Band Apply Solenoid
You can operate the solenoid by pressing the ON and
OFF buttons.
Preconditions: P-N position, idle engine speed, no vehicle
speed.
Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)
You can set desired PCS Current using the ªIncrementº
(+25) and ªDecrementº (±25) button. The PC Solenoid
Data informs about PCS Current, Pressure and Duty
Cycle.
Preconditions: P±N position, no engine speed, no vehicle
speed
Reset Oil Life Monitor
Displays parameter ªOil Life Monitorº and resets to 100%
if Yes-button is pressed on Reset-question. ªNoº leaves
test.
Preconditions: no vehicle speed, no engine speed
NOTE:
Freeze Frame (Powertrain DTC A/B Type)
Freeze Frame is an element of the Diagnostic Manage-
ment System which stores various vehicle information at
the moment an emissions-related fault is stored in
memory and when the MIL is commanded on. These data
can help to identify the cause of a fault. Refer to
Storing
And Erasing Freeze Frame Data
for more detailed in-
formation.
Failure Records (Powertrain DTC C/D Type)
Failure Records data is an enhancement of the OBD II
Freeze Frame feature. Failure Records store the same
vehicle information as does Freeze Frame, but it will store
that information for any fault which is stored in on-board
memory, while Freeze Frame stores information only for
emission-related faults that command the MIL on.

OBD II Diagnostic Management System
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Location
825R100018826RY002
Class 2 Serial Data Bus
OBD II technology requires a much more sophisticated
PCM than does OBD I technology. The OBD II PCM
diagnostic management system not only monitors
systems and components that can impact emissions, but
they also run active tests on these systems and
components. The decision making functions of OBD II
PCMs have also greatly increased. To accommodate this
expansion in diagnostic complexity, Isuzu engineers have
designed the Class 2 serial data bus, which meets SAE
J1850 recommended practice for serial data.
ªSerial Dataº refers to information which is transferred in a
linear fashion ± over a single line, one bit at a time. A ªData
Busº is an electronic pathway through which serial data
travels.AXIOM previously used a 5 volt data bus called UART,
which is an acronym for ªUniversal Asynchronous
Receive and Transmitº. When neither the vehicle's
control module nor the diagnostic tool, such as a Tech 2,
are ªtalking,º the voltage level of the bus at rest is 5 volts.
The two computers talk to each other at a rate of 8,192
bits per second, by toggling or switching the voltage on
the data bus from 5 volts to ground.
Class 2 data, which is used on OBD II vehicles, is quite
different. Data is transferred at a rate of 10.4 kilobits per
second, and the voltage is toggled between zero and 7
volts.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (4L30±E)
C07RT006
Class 2 data is also pulse width modulated. Each bit of
information can have one of two lengths: long or short. On
the other hand, UART data bits come in only one length
(short). The pulse width modulation of Class 2 data allows
better utilization of the data line.
The message carried on Class 2 data streams are also
prioritized. This means that if two devices try to
communicate on the data line at the same time, only the
higher priority message will continue. The device with the
lower priority message must wait.
NOTE: The Class 2 data wire is always terminal 2 of the
new 16±terminal Data Link Connector (DLC).
16 ± Terminal Data Link Connector (DLC)
OBD II standardizes Data Link Connector (DLC)
configurations. The DLC, formerly referred to as the
ALDL, will be a 16±terminal connector found on the lower
left side of the driver's side instrument panel. All
manufacturers must conform to this 16±terminal
standard.
