Diagnostic Thought Process
As you follow a diagnostic plan, every box on the
Strategy Based Diagnostics chart requires you to use
the diagnostic thought process. This method of thinking
optimizes your diagnosis in the following ways:

Improves your understanding and definition of the
customer complaint

Saves time by avoiding testing and/or replacing
good parts


Allows you to look at the problem from different
perspectives

Guides you to determine what level o
f
understanding about system operation is needed:
 Owner’s manual level
 Service manual level
 In-depth (engineering) level
1. Verify the Complaint
What you should do
To verify the customer complaint, you need to know the
correct (normal) operating behavior of the system and
verify that the customer complaint is a valid failure o
f
the system.
The following information will help you verify the
complaint:

WHAT the vehicle model/options are

WHAT aftermarket and dealer-installed
accessories exist

WHAT related system(s) operate properly

WHEN the problem occurs

WHERE the problem occurs

HOW the problem occurs

HOW LONG the condition has existed (and if the
system ever worked correctly)

HOW OFTEN the problem occurs

Whether the severity of the problem has
increased, decreased or stayed the same
What resources you should use
Whenever possible, you should use the following
resources to assist you in verifying the complaint:
Service manual Theory or Circuit Description
sections

Service manual “System Performance Check”

Owner manual operational description

Technician experience

Identical vehicle for comparison


Circuit testing tools

Vehicle road tests

Complaint check sheet

Contact with the customer
2. Perform Preliminary Checks
NOTE: An estimated 10 percent of successful
vehicle repairs are diagnosed with this step!
What you should do
You perform preliminary checks for several reasons:

To detect if the cause of the complaint is
VISUALLY OBVIOUS

To identify parts of the system that work correctly

To accumulate enough data to correctly and
accurately search for a ISUZU Service Bulletin.
The initial checks may vary depending on the
complexity of the system and may include the following
actions:

Operate the suspect system

Make a visual inspection of harness routing and
accessible/visible power and ground circuits

Check for blown fuses

Make a visual inspection for separated connectors

Make a visual inspection of connectors (includes
checking terminals for damage and tightness)

Check for any DTCs stored by the on-board
computers

Sense unusual noises, smells, vibrations o
r
movements

Investigate the vehicle service history (call othe
r
dealerships, if appropriate)
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following
resources for assistance in performing preliminary
checks:

Tech 2 or other technical equipment for viewing
DTCs

Service manual information:
 Component locations
 Harness routing
 Wiring schematics
 Procedures for viewing DTCs

Dealership service history file

Vehicle road test

Identical vehicle or system for comparison

6E-66 3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
 Does it rely on some mechanical/vacuum
device to operate?

Physical:
 Where are the circuit components (componen
t
locators and wire harness routing diagrams):

Are there areas where wires could be
chafed or pinched (brackets or frames)?

Are there areas subjected to extreme
temperatures?

Are there areas subjected to vibration or
movement (engine, transmission or
suspension)?

Are there areas exposed to moisture, road
salt or other corrosives (battery acid, oil o
r
other fluids)?

Are there common mounting areas with
other systems/components?
 Have previous repairs been performed to
wiring, connectors, components or mounting
areas (causing pinched wires between panels
and drivetrain or suspension components
without causing and immediate problem)?
 Does the vehicle have aftermarket or dealer-
installed equipment (radios, telephone, etc.)

Step 2: Isolate the problem
At this point, you should have a good idea of what could
cause the present condition, as well as could not cause
the condition. Actions to take include the following:

Divide (and separate, where possible) the system
or circuit into smaller sections

Confine the problem to a smaller area of the
vehicle (start with main harness connections while
removing panels and trim as necessary in order to
eliminate large vehicle sections from furthe
r
investigation)

For two or more circuits that do not share a
common power or ground, concentrate on areas
where harnesses are routed together o
r
connectors are shared (refer to the following hints)

Hints
Though the symptoms may vary, basic electrical failures
are generally caused by:

Loose connections:
 Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors or grounds

Incorrect connector/harness routing (usually in
new vehicles or after a repair has been made):

 Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors of grounds

Corrosion and wire damage:
 Open/high resistance in terminals, splices,
connectors of grounds

Component failure:
 Opens/short and high resistance in relays,
modules, switches or loads


Aftermarket equipment affecting normal operation
of other systems You may isolate circuits by:

Unplugging connectors or removing a fuse to
separate one part of the circuit from another part

Operating shared circuits and eliminating those
that function normally from the suspect circuit

If only one component fails to operate, begin
testing at the component

If a number of components do no operate, begin
tests at the area of commonality (such as powe
r
sources, ground circuits, switches or majo
r
connectors)
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following
resources to assist in the diagnostic process:

Service manual

Technical equipment (for data analysis)

Experience

Technical Assistance

Circuit testing tools
5d. Intermittent Diagnosis
By definition, an intermittent problem is one that does
not occur continuously and will occur when certain
conditions are met. All these conditions, however, may
not be obvious or currently known. Generally,
intermittents are caused by:

Faulty electrical connections and wiring

Malfunctioning components (such as sticking
relays, solenoids, etc.)

EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic/radio frequency
interference)

Aftermarket equipment
Intermittent diagnosis requires careful analysis of
suspected systems to help prevent replacing good
parts. This may involve using creativity and ingenuity to
interpret customer complaints and simulating all
external and internal system conditions to duplicate the
problem.

Basic Knowledge of Tools Required
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
effectively use this section of the Service Manual.
Serial Data Communications
Class II Serial Data Communications
This vehicle utilizes the “Class II" 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 II
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 Tech 2 manufacturers with the
capability to access data from any make or model
vehicle that is sold.
The data displayed on the other Tech 2 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. For more information on this system of coding,
refer to Decimal/Binary/Hexadecimal Conversions.On
this vehicle the Tech 2 displays the actual values fo
r
vehicle parameters. It will not be necessary to perform
any conversions from coded values to actual values.
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
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 curren
t
ignition cycle.

The fault identified by the diagnostic test is no
t
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 o
f
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
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 sensor that indicates
high throttle position at low engine loads. Inpu
t
components may include, but are not limited to the
following sensors:

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)

Inlet Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor

Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS)

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Sensor

Camshaft Position (CMP) 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 fo
r
circuit continuity and out-of-range values if applicable.
Output components to be monitored include, but are no
t
limited to, the following circuit:

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

Control module controlled EVAP Canister Purge
Valve

Electronic Transmission controls

A/C relays

VSS output

MIL control
Refer to ECM and Sensors in General Descriptions.

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 “warm-up" cycles with no furthe
r
faults detected, the DTC will automatically be cleared
from the ECM memory.
To clear Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), use the
Tech 2 “clear DTCs" or “clear information" function.
When clearing DTCs follow instructions supplied by the
Tech 2 manufacturer.
When a Tech 2 is not available, DTCs can also be
cleared by disconnecting one of the following sources
for at least thirty (30) seconds.
To prevent system damage, the ignition key must be
“OFF" when disconnecting or reconnecting battery
power.

The power source to the control module. Examples:
fuse, pigtail at battery ECM connectors etc.

The negative battery cable. (Disconnecting the
negative battery cable will result in the loss of othe
r
on-board memory data, such as preset radio tuning).
On-Board Diagnosis (Self-Diagnosis)
1. The Engine Control Module (ECM) conducts a
self-test of most of the wiring and components in
the system each time the key is turned to ON, and
can detect faults in the system while the key is ON.
If a fault is detected, the ECM will store a trouble
code in memory and flash the CHECK ENGINE
indicator to alert the driver.
2. The Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) can be
displayed by shorting together terminals and the
Data Link Connector (DLC) located belo
w
Instrument Panel of drivers side.
The CHECK ENGINE indicator will flash DTC 12
three times, followed by any DTC.If several DTC are
stored, each DTC will be displayed three times. The
DTC will be displayed in numerical order. The DTC
display will continue as long as the DLC is shorted.
Some DTC can cause other DTC to be stored, It is
important to diagnose and repair the lowes
t
numbered DTC first before going on to the highe
r
numbered DTC.

A/C SYSTEM CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS



RTW36EMF000101

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When air conditioning and blower fan are selected, and
if the system has a sufficient refrigerant charge, a
12-volt signal is supplied to the A/C request input of the
Engine Control Module (ECM). The A/C request signal
may be temporarily canceled during system operation
by the electronic thermostat in the evaporator case. The
electronic thermostat may intermittently remove the
control circuit ground for the A/C thermostat relay to
prevent the evaporator from forming ice. When the A/C
request signal is received by the ECM, the ECM
supplies a ground from the compressor clutch relay i
f
the engine operating conditions are within acceptable
ranges. With the A/C compressor relay energized,
voltage is supplied to the compressor clutch coil.
The ECM will enable the compressor clutch to engage
whenever A/C has been selected with the engine
running, unless any of the following conditions are
present:

 The A/C request switch is "Off".
 The engine speed is lower than 550rpm or greate
r
than 6375rpm.
 The engine coolant temperature is greater than
120
.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
To diagnose an the intermittent fault, check for the
following conditions:
 Poor connection at the ECM–Inspect connections fo
r
backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poo
r
terminal-to-wire connection.
 Damaged harness–Inspect the wiring harness fo
r
damage. If the harness appears to OK, observe the
A/C clutch while moving connectors and wiring
harnesses related to the A/C. A sudden clutch
malfunction will indicate the source of the intermitten
t
fault.
