If problem has not been found, refer to ECM connector
symptom tables.

Check the "Broadcast Code" of the ECM, and
compare it with the latest Isuzu service bulletins
and/or Isuzu EEPROM reprogramming equipment to
determine if an update to the ECM's
reprogrammable memory has been released.
To check the "Broadcast Code", connect the Tech 2,
then look for "ID info." then select "Broadcast Code".
This should display a 4 character code, such as "8501"
(example only).
This identifies the contents of the reprogrammable
software and calibration contained in the ECM.
If the "Broadcast Code" is not the most curren
t
available, it is advisable to reprogram the ECM's
EEPROM memory, which may either help identify a
hard-to find problem or may fix the problem.
The Service Programming System (SPS) will not allo
w
incorrect software programming or incorrect calibration
changes.

ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT RUN
DEFINITIONS: Engine cranks, but will not run. (The
engine never start.)
NOTE: The replacement ECM must be programmed.
Refer to section of the Service Programming
System (SPS) in this manual. Following ECM
programming, the immobilizer system (if equipped)
must be linked to the ECM. Refer to section 11
"Immobilizer System-ECM replacement" for the
ECM/Immobilizer linking procedure.
Should Tech2 display "SPS Procedure was not
successful", engine will not start, but no DTCs are
present, low battery voltage or poor electrical
connections should be the primary
suspects.Perform the SPS procedure again after
rectifying the fault/s.
NOTE: The vehicle with immobilizer system, this
system may be activated. Check the immobilizer
system diagnosis.
