4JA1/4JH1 ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E–311
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1345 (SYMPTOM CODE A)
(FLASH CODE 45) CAMSHAFT SPEED MALFUNCTION
Condition for setting the DTC and action taken when the DTC sets
Circuit Description
The pump camshaft sensor is a magnet with a coil. It
uses to combine with the pulser. The pulser is attached
main shaft in the pump. It likes a gear shape.
The pump camshaft sensor is attached to the pump
control unit (PSG). The signal of pump camshaft speed
is sent via the CAN-bus from the PSG to ECM.
Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Misrouted harness.Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at ECM and PSG-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 “Pump Speed” display on the Tech2 while moving
connectors and wiring harnesses. A change in the
display will indicate the location of the fault.

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, Fuel or water in the engine oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Check the viscosity of the oil.
c. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the
specified standard.
d. Refer to the “Maintenance and Lubrication"
section of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level.
The level should fall somewhere between the
“ADD" and the “FULL" marks on the oil level
dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the “ADD" mark on
the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added.
3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach
normal operating temperature (About 80C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
392




550 kPa (56.9




80.4 psi) at 3000 rpm.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge.
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

Reassembly
1. Install connecting rod
2. Install piston
3. Install piston pin

Apply a thin coat of engine oil to the piston pin.
Try to insert the piston pin into the piston pin
hole with normal finger pressure.
NOTE: When changing piston / connecting rod
combinations, do not change the piston / piston pin
combination and do not reuse the old piston pin.

Attach the piston to the connecting rod with the
piston front mark and the connecting rod fron
t
mark on the same side.

Draining and Refilling Cooling
System
Before draining the cooling system, inspect the system
and perform any necessary service to ensure that it is
clean, does not leak and is in proper working order.
The engine coolant (EC) level should be between the
“ MIN" and “MAX" lines of reserve tank when the engine
is cold. If low, check for leakage and add EC up to the
“ MAX" line.
There should not be any excessive deposit of rust o
r
scales around the radiator cap or radiator filler hole, and
the EC should also be free from oil.
Replace the EC if excessively dirty.
1. Completely drain the cooling system by opening the
drain plug at the bottom of the radiator.




P1010064
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: To avoid the danger of being burned, do
not remove the cap while the engine and radiato
r
are still hot. Scalding fluid and steam can be blown
out under pressure.
3. Disconnect all hoses from the EC reserve tank.
Scrub and clean the inside of the reserve tank with
soap and water. Flush it well with clean water, then
drain it. Install the reserve tank and hoses.
4. Refill the cooling system with the EC using a
solution that is 50 percent antifreeze.
Procedure for filling with coolant (in case of full change)
 Make sure that the engine is cool.
 Open radiator cap pour coolant up to filler neck.
 Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to “MAX" line.

 Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. Afte
r
idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen
radiator cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
WARNING: When the coolant is heated to a high
temperature, be sure not to loosen or remove the
radiator cap. Otherwise you might get scalded by
not vapor or boiling water. To open the radiato
r
cap, put a piece of thick cloth on the cap and
loosen the cap slowly to reduce the pressure when
the coolant has become cooler.

After tightening radiator cap, warm up the engine at
about 2000 rpm. Set heater adjustment to the
highest temperature position, and let the coolan
t
circulate also into heater water system.
 Check to see the thermostat has opened through
the needle position of water thermometer, conduct a
5 –minute idling again and stop the engine.
 When the engine has been cooled, check filler neck
for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant is found, check the
cooling system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
 Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX"
line.

6. Connect oil cooler hose to automatic transmission.

7. Connect battery ground cable.
8. Pour engine coolant up to filler neck of radiator, and
up to MAX mark of reserve tank.

Important operation (in case of 100% engine
coolant change) procedure for filling with engine
coolant.

Engine coolant change
1. To change engine coolant, make sure that the
engine is cool.
WARNING: When the coolant is heated to a high
temperature, be sure not to loosen or remove the
radiator cap. Otherwise you might get scalded by
hot vapor or boiling water. To open the radiato
r
cap, put a piece of thick cloth on the cap and
loosen the cap slowly to reduce the pressure when
the coolant has become cooler.
2. Open radiator cap and drain the cooling system by
loosening the drain valve on the radiator and on the
cylinder body.
NOTE: For best result it is suggested that the engine
cooling system be flushed at least once a year. It is
advisable to flash the interior of the cooling system
including the radiator before using anti-freeze
(ethylene-glycol based).
Replace damaged rubber hoses as the engine
anti-freeze coolant is liable to leak out even mino
r
cracks.
Isuzu recommends to use Isuzu genuine anti-freeze
(ethylen-glycol based) or equivalent, for the cooling
system and not add any inhibitors or additives.
CAUTION: A failure to correctly fill the engine
cooling system in changing or topping up coolant
may sometimes cause the coolant to overflow from
the filler neck even before the engine and radiato
r
are completely full.
If the engine runs under this condition, shortage o
f
coolant may possibly result in engine overheating.
To avoid such trouble, the following precautions
should be taken in filling the system.
3. To refill engine coolant, pour coolant up to filler neck
using a filling hose which is smaller in outside
diameter of the filler neck. Otherwise air between
the filler neck and the filling hose will block entry,
preventing the system from completely filling up.
4. Keep a filling rate of 9 liter/min. or less. Filling ove
r
this maximum rate may force air inside the engine
and radiator.
And also, the coolant overflow will increase, making
it difficult to determine whether or not the system is
completely full.
5.
After filling the system to the full, pull out the filling
hose and check to see if air trapped in the system is
disclodged and the coolant level goes down. Should
the coolant level go down, repeat topping-up until
there is no more drop in the coolant level.
