Service Precaution
When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except
for those tests where battery voltage is
required.
Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
Replace all pipes with the same pipe and
fittings that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O" rings. Replace i
f
required.
Always relieve the line pressure before
servicing any fuel system components.
Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until
you have read the instructions and checked
the pictures relating to that repair.
Adhere to all Notices and Cautions.
All gasoline engines are designed to use only
unleaded gasoline. Unleaded gasoline must be
used for proper emission control system operation.
Its use will also minimize spark plug fouling and
extend engine oil life. Using leaded gasoline can
damage the emission control system and could
result in loss of emission warranty coverage.
All cars are equipped with an Evaporative Emission
Control System. The purpose of the system is to
minimize the escape of fuel vapors to the
atmosphere.

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

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.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION FOR ECM AND
SENSORS
Engine Control Module (ECM)
1 2
(1) A Port
(2) B Port
The engine control module (ECM) is located on the
common chamber. The ECM controls the following.
Fuel metering system
Ignition timing
On-board diagnostics for powertrain functions.
The ECM constantly observes the information from
various sensors. The ECM controls the systems tha
t
affect vehicle performance. And it performs the
diagnostic function of the system.
The function can recognize operational problems, and
warn to the driver through the check engine lamp, and
store diagnostic trouble code (DTC). DTCs identify the
problem areas to aid the technician in marking repairs.
The input / output devices in the ECM include analog to
digital converts, signal buffers, counters and drivers.
The ECM controls most components with electronic
switches which complete a ground circuit when turned
on.
Inputs (Operating condition read):
Battery voltage
Electrical ignition
Exhaust oxygen content
Mass air flow
Intake air temperature
Engine coolant temperature
Crankshaft position
Camshaft position
Throttle position
Vehicle speed
Power steering pressure
Air conditioning request on or off
EGR valve position
Outputs (Systems controlled):
Ignition control
Fuel control
Idle air control
Fuel pump
EVAP canister purge
Air conditioning
Diagnostics functions
The vehicle with automatic transmission, the
interchange of data between the engine control module
(ECM) and the transmission control module (TCM) is
performed via a CAN-bus system.
The following signals are exchanged via the CAN-bus:
ECM to TCM:
ECM CAN signal status
Engine torque
Coolant temperature
Throttle position
Engine speed
A/C status
CAN valid counter
TCM to ECM:
Ignition timing retard request
Garage shift status
CAN valid counter
3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E-55
Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS)
The VSS is a magnet rotated by the transmission output
shaft. The VSS uses a hall element. It interacts with the
magnetic field treated by the rotating magnet. It outputs
pulse signal. The 12 volts operating supply from the
meter fuse.
Heated Oxygen (O2) Sensor
1
(1) Bank 1 Heated Oxygen Sensor (RH)
1
(1) Bank 2 Heated Oxygen Sensor (LH)
Each oxygen sensor consists of a 4-wire low
temperature activated zirconia oxygen analyzer elemen
t
with heater for operating temperature of 315C, and
there is one mounted on each exhaust pipe.
A constant 450millivolt is supplied by the ECM between
the two supply terminals, and oxygen concentration in
the exhaust gas is reported to the ECM as returned
signal voltage.
The oxygen present in the exhaust gas reacts with the
sensor to produce a voltage output. This voltage should
constantly fluctuate from approximately 100mV to
1000mV and the ECM calculates the pulse width
commanded for the injectors to produce the prope
r
combustion chamber mixture.
Low oxygen sensor output voltage is a lean mixture
which will result in a rich commanded to compensate.
High oxygen sensor output voltage is a rich mixture
which result in a lean commanded to compensate.
When the engine is first started the system is in "Open
Loop" operation. In "Open Loop", the ECM ignores the
signal from the oxygen sensors. When various
conditions (ECT, time from start, engine speed &
oxygen sensor output) are met, the system enters
"Closed Loop" operation. In "Closed Loop", the ECM
calculates the air fuel ratio based on the signal from the
oxygen sensors.
Heated oxygen sensors are used to minimize the
amount of time required for closed loop fuel control to
begin operation and allow accurate catalyst monitoring.
The oxygen sensor heater greatly decreases the
amount of time required for fuel control sensors to
become active.
Oxygen sensor heaters are required by catalyst monito
r
and sensors to maintain a sufficiently high temperature
which allows accurate exhaust oxygen content readings
further away from the engine.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The engine control module (ECM) used in this vehicle
utilizes an electrically erasable programmable read-only
memory (EEPROM). The EEPROM contains program
information and the calibrations required for engine,
transmission, and engine diagnostics operation.
Unlike the PROM used in past applications, the
EEPROM is not replaceable.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
DTC P0601 indicates that the contents of the
EEPROM have changed since the ECM was
programmed. The only possible repair is ECM
replacement.
