2 Thermostat
3 Radiator
4 Reserve Tank5 Coolant Distributor
6 Cylinder Block and Head
7 Throttle Body
8 Heater
The Cooling System is a pressurized type, where the water
pump, which is cambelt driven, forces the circulation of
the coolant through the cylinder block and head. The
thermostat regulates the flow of coolant between the
radiator and the bypass circuit. The heater is part of the
bypass circuit. The throttle body pre-heat is a separate
circuit which is not regulated by the thermostat. An oil
cooler may be fitted as part of this circuit.

6B-6 ENGINE COOLING
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 or 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.
2. Remove the radiator cap.
WARNING: TO AVOID THE DANGER OF BEING BURNED,
DO NOT REMOVE THE CAP WHILE THE ENGINE AND
RADIATOR 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
at least 50 percent antifreeze.
5. Fill the radiator to the base of the filler neck.
Fill the EC reserve tank to "MAX" line when the engine is
cold.
6. Block the drive wheels and firmly apply the parking brake.
Shift an automatic transmission to "P" (Park) or a manual
transmission to neutral.
7. Remove the radiator cap. Start the engine and warm it up a
t
2,500 - 3,000 rpm for about 30 minutes.
8. When the air comes out from the radiator filler neck and the
EC level has gone down, replenish with the EC. Repeat this
procedure until the EC level does not go down. Then stop
the engine and install the radiator cap. Let the engine cool
down.
9. After the engine has cooled, replenish with EC up to the
"MAX" line of the reserve tank.
10. Start the engine. With the engine running at 3,000 rpm,
make sure there is no running water sound from the heate
r
core (behind the center console).
11. If the running water sound is heard, repeat steps 8 to 10.
ENGINE FUEL (C24SE) 6C-3
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 if 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.
Service Precaution
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, or othe
r
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastene
r
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.
6C-10 ENGINE FUEL (C24SE)
Fuel Tube / Quick – Connector Fittings
Precautions
Do not light a match or create a flame.
Keep flames away from your work area to preven
t
flammable materials from catching fire.
Disconnect battery ground cable to preven
t
electrical shorts.
Pre-treat piping system or associated parts from
thermal damage or from spattering when welding
or similar heat-generating work.
Cautions During Work
140R100032
Legend
(1) O-ring
(2) Port
(3) Connector
(4) Plastic Tube
Do not expose the assembly to battery electrolyte or do
not wipe the assembly with a cloth used to wipe off spil
t
battery electorolyte.
Piping that has been splattered with battery electrolyte
or battery electrolyte soaked cloth that was wiped on the
piping cannot be used.
Removal
1. Open the fuel cap to relieve the fuel pressure in the
tank.
Use compressed air to remove any dirt on the fuel
quick connect fittings prior to disconnecting the
fittings.
141R100002
When disconnecting the fuel pipe, cover the area
with a cloth to prevent fuel from splashing as the
fuel pipe may still have some pressure in it.
2. For removal of the quick connector, hold the quick
connector in one hand, and pull out the connento
r
with the other hand while pressing the square
relieve button of the connector, as illustrated.
140R100037
NOTE: Do not use tools of any kind. Only use bare
hands when disconnecting the connector. Use a
lubricant (light oil) and/or push and pull the connecto
r
until the pipe is disconnected.
Cover the connectors that was removed with a
plastic bag, to prevent dust or rain water from
entering.
