Winter Drive Mode
1.Operation
The winter switch will operate when switched on after
all of the following conditions are present:
Conditions:
a. The select lever position is ªDº range only.
b. Vehicle speed is 7 mph (11 km/h) or less.
c. Transmission oil temperature is 130
C (266
F) or
less.
d. Accelerator opening is at 8% or less.
2.Cancel Release
1. Cancellation by driver
a. Turning off the winter drive mode switch
b. Shifting select position to ª3º, ª2º, or ªLº (winter
drive mode is not canceled by selecting ªNº, ªRº,
or ªPº).
c. Ignition key is turned off.
2. Automatic cancellation
a. When vehicle runs at 21mph (34 km/h) or more
for 1 second or more
b. When transmission oil temperature reaches
130
C (266
F) or above
NOTE: The mode returns to normal drive mode or power
drive mode after the winter drive mode is canceled.
Backup Mode
If a major system failure occurs which could affect safety
or damage the transmission under normal vehicle
operation, the diagnostic system detects the fault and
overrides the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The ªCHECK TRANSº light flashes to alert the driver, and
the transmission must be manually shifted as follows:
Select lever position
Gear Ratio Selected
D4 (Fourth)
Manual 34 (Fourth)
Manual 23 (Third)
Manual L1 (First)
RReverse
Shifts are firmer to prevent clutch slip and consequent
wear. The fault should be corrected as soon as possible.

Diagnosis
Electronic Diagnosis
How To Diagnose The Problem
1. To avoid incorrect diagnostics, this book needs to be
followed accurately. Unless stated, do not jump
directly to a section that could contain the solution.
Some important information may be missed.
2. The sections in CAPITALS and bold are the main
sections that can be found in the contents.
3. The GO TO ªSECTIONº means to continue to check
going to the ªsectionº.
4. The GO THROUGH ªSECTIONº means to go
through the ªsectionº and then to go back to the place
the GO THROUGH was written.
5. BASIC ELECTRIC CIRCUITS:
You should understand the basic theory of electricity.
This includes the meaning of voltage, amps, ohms,
and what happens in a circuit with an open or shorted
wire. You should also be able to read and understand
wiring diagrams.
Check Trans Indicator
Find CHECK TRANS indicator and verify if it is
A. Flashing: GO TO DIAGNOSTIC CHECK.
B. Staying on: GO THROUGH CHECK TRANS
CHECK.
C. Is never ON when the ignition key is turned on: GO
THROUGH CHECK TRANS CHECK
D. Is ON during 2 seconds at ignition but OFF after:
Normal operation. No DTC or malfunction.
821R200014
Diagnostic Check
This test determines if the transmission or its input or
output connections or sensors are failing.
1. Connect the Tech 2: GO THROUGH Tech 2 OBD II
CONNECTION.2. Turn on the ignition but not the engine.
3. Push ªF0º on Tech 2 to see the Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC):
4. Do you have a DTC?
YES: write down all code numbers and do the DTC
CHECK
NO: the DTC can not help you finding the problem.
1. GO THROUGH ªCHECK TRANSº CHECK
2. If it is flashing and the flash is 0.2 seconds ON and
0.2 seconds OFF, this means that you should
have a DTC stored. Please recheck GO TO
DIAGNOSTIC CHECK and if you find the same
problem, replace the Powertrain Control Module
(PCM).

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

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.

Service Precaution
WARNING: THIS VEHICLE HAS 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
fasteners joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fasteners.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
