ON-VEHICLE SERVICE PROCEDURE
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM)
NOTE:
To prevent possible electrostatic discharge
damage, follow these guidelines:
Do not touch the control module connector pins
or soldered components on the control module
circuit board.
Do not open the replacement part package until
the par is ready to be installed.
Before removing the part from the package,
ground the package to a known good ground on
the vehicle.
If the part has been handled while sliding across
the seat, or while sitting down from a standing
position, or while walking a distance, touch a
known good ground before installing the part.
NOTE:
To prevent internal ECM damage, the ignition must
be in the "OFF" position in order to disconnect o
r
reconnect power to the ECM (for example: battery
cable, ECM pigtail, ECM fuse, jumper cables, etc.).
NOTE:
When replacing the production ECM with a service
ECM, it is important to transfer the broadcast code
and production ECM number to the service ECM
label. This will allow positive identification of ECM
parts throughout the service life of the vehicle.
Location
On the common chamber.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect the two connectors from the ECM.
3. Remove four bolts.
4. Remove the ECM from common chamber.
Installation Procedure
1. Put on the ECM on the common chamber.
2. Tighten the ECM by four bolts.
3. Connect the two connectors to the ECM.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
The replacement ECM must be programmed.
Service Programming System (SPS) and
Immobilizer programming (if equipped) is
/are
necessary. In case "SPS procedure does not
succeed" or "engine does not run but No DTC afte
r
SPS", low vehicle battery voltage or disconnected
electrical connector (e.g. poor connection of data
link connector) are supposed. Perform the SPS
procedure once again by correct conditions. The
programming ECM will be recovered normally.
3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E-373
Inspection
Inspect the louvered end of the sensor for grease,
dirt, excessive carbon build up or othe
r
contamination.
A special anti-seize compound is used on the O2
sensor threads. This compound consists of glass
breads suspended in a liquid graphite solution.
The graphite burns away with engine heat, but the
glass breads will remain, marking the senso
r
easier to remove.
New or service sensors will already have the
compound applied to the threads. If a sensor is
removed and is to be reinstalled for any reason,
the threads must have anti-seize compound
applied.
Installation Procedure
1. Install the O2 sensor to the exhaust pipe.
Apply anti-seize compound or the equivalent to the
threads of the oxygen sensor, if necessary.
2. Tighten the O2 sensor with specified tightening
torque.
Tightening Torque
Bolt: 42N
m (4.3kgf
m)
3. Connect a sensor connector to the O2 sensor.
4. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are not
stored after replacement.
Verify no exhaust gas leaking from the senso
r
threads after replacement.
EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE
SOLENOID
Location
On the intake manifold.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconenct the negative battery cable.
2. Disconnect a purge solenoid connector from the
purge solenoid.
3. Disconnect two hoses from the purge solenoid
valve.
4. Loosen a bolt and remove the purge solenoid from
the intake manifold.
Installation Procedure
1. Put on the purge solenoid on the intake manifold.
2. Tighten the purge solenoid by a bolt.
3. Connect a connector to the purge solenoid.
4. Connect two hoses to the purge solenoid valve.
5. Connect the negative battery cable.
NOTE:
Verify any DTCs (diagnosis Trouble Code) are not
stored after replacement.
Verify proper connection of two hoses.
3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E-375
3. Install the common chamber. Refer to common
chamber in engine Mechanical.
060RW044
4. Connect the vacuum hose on Canister Solenoid
and positive crankcase ventilation hose.
5. Connect the connectors to, solenoid valve.
6. Connect the accelerator pedal cable to throttle
body and cable bracket.
7. Install the engine cover.
8. Connect the negative battery cable.
9. Crank the engine until it starts. Cranking the
engine may take longer than usual due to trapped
air in the fuel rail and in the injectors.
FUEL INJECTORS
Removal Procedure
NOTE: If the fuel injectors are leaking, the engine oil
may be contaminated with fuel. Check the oil fo
r
signs of contamination and change the oil and the
filter if necessary.
NOTE: Use care in removing the fuel injectors in
order to prevent damage to the fuel injecto
r
electrical connector pins or the fuel injector
nozzles. The fuel injector is an electrical component
and should not be immersed in any type of cleane
r
as this may damage the fuel injector.
Important: Fuel injectors are serviced as a complete
assembly only.
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the upper intake manifold. Refer to
Common Chamber in Engine Mechanical..
3. Remove the fuel rail. Refer to Fuel Rail.

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, REFE
R
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, o
r
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener.
When you install fasteners, use the correct
tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to
parts and systems.
