Diagnostic Thought Process
As you follow a diagnostic plan, every box on the
Strategy Based Diagnostics chart requires you to use
the diagnostic thought process. This method of thinking
optimizes your diagnosis in the following ways:
Improves your understanding and definition of the
customer complaint
Saves time by avoiding testing and/or replacing good
parts
Allows you to look at the problem from different
perspectives
Guides you to determine what level of understanding
about system operation is needed:
–Owner’s manual level
–Service manual level
–In-depth (engineering) level
–Owner’s manual level
–Service manual level
–In-depth (engineering) level
1. Verify the Complaint
What you should do
To verify the customer complaint, you need to know the
correct (normal) operating behavior of the system and
verify that the customer complaint is a valid failure of the
system.
The following information will help you verify the
complaint:
WHAT the vehicle model/options are
WHAT aftermarket and dealer-installed accessories
exist
WHAT related system(s) operate properly
WHEN the problem occurs
WHERE the problem occurs
HOW the problem occurs
HOW LONG the condition has ex isted (and if the
system ever worked correctly)
HOW OFTEN the problem occurs
Whether the severity of the problem has increased,
decreased or stayed the same
What resources you should use
Whenever possible, you should use the following
resources to assist you in verifying the complaint:
Service manual Theory or Circuit Description
sections
Service manual “System Performance Check”
Owner manual operational description
Technician ex perience
Identical vehicle for comparisonCircuit testing tools
Vehicle road tests
Complaint check sheet
Contact with the customer
2. Perform Preliminary Checks
NOTE: An estimated 10 percent of successful vehicle
repairs are diagnosed with this step!
What you should do
You perform preliminary checks for several reasons:
To detect if the cause of the complaint is VISUALLY
OBVIOUS
To identify parts of the system that work correctly
To accumulate enough data to correctly and
accurately search for a ISUZU Service Bulletin on
ISUZU Web site.
The initial checks may vary depending on the
complex ity of the system and may include the following
actions:
Operate the suspect system
Make a visual inspection of harness routing and
accessible/visible power and ground circuits
Check for blown fuses
Make a visual inspection for separated connectors
Make a visual inspection of connectors (includes
checking terminals for damage and tightness)
Check for any DTCs stored by the on-board
computers
Sense unusual noises, smells, vibrations or
mov ements
Investigate the vehicle service history (call other
dealerships, if appropriate)
What resources you should use
Whenever appropriate, you should use the following
resources for assistance in performing preliminary
checks:
Tech II or other technical equipment for viewing DTCs
Service manual information:
–Component locations
–Harness routing
–Wiring schematics
–Procedures for viewing DTCs
Dealership service history file
Vehicle road test
Identical vehicle or system for comparison

3. Trouble In Fuel System
Symptom Possible Cause Action
Starting motor turns over and spark
occurs but engine does not start. Fuel tank empty Fill
Water in fuel system Clean
Fuel filter clogged Replace filter
Fuel pipe clogged Clean or replace
Fuel pump defective Replace
Fuel pump circuit open Correct or replace
Evaporative Emission Control System
circuit clogged Correct or replace
Multiport Fuel Injection System faultyRefer to “Electronic Fuel Injection"
section
4. Engine Lacks Compression
Symptom Possible Cause Action
Engine lacks compression Spark plug loosely fitted Tighten to specified torque
Valve timing incorrect Adjust
Cylinder head gasket defective Replace gasket
Valve incorrectly seated Lap valve
Valve stem seized Replace valve and valve guide
Valve spring weakened or broken Replace
Cylinder or piston rings worn Overhaul engine
Piston ring seized Overhaul engine.
Engine Compression Test Procedure
1. Start and run the engine until the engine reaches
normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Remove all the spark plugs.
4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the
ignition system.
5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and
fuse box.
6. Engage the starter and check that the cranking
speed is approximately 300 rpm.
7. Install cylinder compression gauge into spark plug
hole.
8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the
starter engaged until the compression gage needle
reaches the maximum level. Note the reading.
9. Repeat the test with each cylinder.
If the compression pressure obtained falls belo
w
the limit, engine overhaul is necessary.
