7 Ensure that all wiring harness connectors are fitted correctly and secure.
8 W hen steam or pressure cleaning vehicle components, such as engines, transmissions, etc., do not direct the cleaning nozzle at any system electrical wiring harness connectors or components.
9 Do not clear any DTCs unless instructed.
10 The fault must be present when using the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Diagnostic Tables. Otherwise, misdiagnosis or replacement of good parts may occur.
11 Do not touch any electronic control module connector pins or soldered components on the circuit board. This is required to avoid the possibility of electrostatic discharge damage.
12 Use only the test equipment specified in the diagnostic tables, as other test equipment may give incorrect results or damage good components.
13 Electronic control modules are designed to withstand normal current draws associated with vehicle operation. However, the following fault conditions or incorrect test procedure may overload internal control module circuits and
irreparably damage the control module:
• A short to voltage fault condition in any of the control module low reference circuits may cause internal and/or
sensor damage. Therefore, any short to voltage fault condition in the control module low reference circuits
must be rectified before replacing a faulty component.
• A short to ground fault condition in any of the control module 5 volts reference circuits may cause internal
control module and/or sensor damage. Therefore, any short to ground fault condition in the control module 5
volt reference circuits must be rectified before replacing a faulty component.
• W hen using a test light to test an electrical circuit, do not use any of the control module low reference circuits
or 5 volts reference circuits as a reference point. Otherwise, excessive current draw from the test light may
damage the control module.
14 Disregard DTCs that set while performing the following diagnostic Steps:
• Using the Tech 2 output control function, or
• Disconnecting a control module system sensor connector then switching the ignition ON.
15 After completing the required diagnostics and service operations, road test the vehicle to ensure correct system operation.
4.4 Preliminary Checks
The Preliminary Checks is a set of visual and physical checks or inspections that may quickly identify a control module
system fault condition:
1 Refer to relevant Service Techlines for information regarding the fault condition.
2 Ensure that the battery is fully charged.
3 Inspect the battery connections for corrosion or a loose terminal.
4 Ensure that all relevant control module system related fuses are serviceable.
5 Inspect for incorrect aftermarket theft deterrent devices, lights or mobile phone installation.
6 Ensure that there is no speaker magnet positioned too close to any electronic module that contains relays.
7 Inspect the system wiring harness for proper connections, pinches or cuts.
8 Ensure that all control module related electrical wiring connectors are fitted correctly.
9 Inspect the control module ground connections for corrosion, loose terminal or incorrect position.
10 Ensure that the resistance between the control module housing and the battery ground cable is less than 0.5 ohms.
11 Check that the control module and its mounting bracket is secure.
12 Check all control module related components for correct installation.
13 Check the control module and related wiring harness routing to ensure that no rubbing or cutting of the wiring harness by sharp body components can occur.

4.5 Diagnostic Trouble Code Tables
The diagnostic system check and the DTC list, directs the technician to the appropriate diagnostic trouble code (DTC)
tables if there is a DTC currently stored in the TCM.
The diagnostic tables locate a faulty circuit or component through a logic based on the process of elimination. These
diagnostic tables are developed with the following assumptions:
• the vehicle functioned correctly at the time of assembly,
• there are no multiple faults, and
• the problem currently exists.
Understanding and the correct use of the diagnostic tables are essential to reduce diagnostic time and to prevent
misdiagnosis.
Multiple DTCs Fault Condition
Some fault conditions trigger multiple component DTCs even if the fault condition exists only on a single component. If
there are multiple DTCs stored in the TCM, the service technician must view and record all DTCs logged.
Relationship between the logged DTCs can then be analysed to determine the source of the fault condition. Always
begin the diagnostic process with the DTC table of the fault condition that may trigger other DTCs to set.
The following fault conditions may trigger multiple DTCs:
• a fault in the serial data communication circuit,
• a system voltage that is too low may cause incorrect transmission tem operation or transmission component
malfunction,
• a system voltage that is too high may damage the TCM and/or other components,
• fault condition in the TCM Read Only Memory (ROM) or Random Access Memory (RAM),
• fault condition in the TCM internal circuitry or programming, or
• improperly connected sensor or component wiring connector.
If there are no obvious faults to begin a multiple DTC fault condition diagnostic procedure, refer to the Conditions for
Running the DTC in each diagnostic.
4.6 Diagnostic Trouble Code Definitions
The TCM constantly performs self-diagnostic tests on the transmission and it components. W hen the TCM detects a fault
condition in the transmission operating parameters, the TCM sets a DTC to represents that fault condition. The following
are the types of DTCs programmed in the TCM. In addition, DTCs are classified as either Current or History DTC.
• Type A – Emission Related DTCs,
• Type B – Emission Related DTCs, and
• Type C – Non-emission Related DTCs.
NOTE
Depending on the type of DTC set, the TCM may
command the malfunction indiciator lamp (MIL) to
display on the instrument cluster and warn the
driver there is a fault in the transmission. Refer to
the RA Rodeo Owner Manual for further
information on the MIL.
Type A – Emission Related DTCs
The TCM takes the following action when a Type A DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type A DTC that represents the fault condition,
• illuminates the MIL, and
BACK TO CHAPTER INDEX
TO MODEL INDEX
ISUZU KB P190 2007
Automatic Transmission – 4L60E – Electrical Diagnosis Page 7C2–30
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze Frame/
Failure Record.
Type B – Emission Related DTCs
The TCM takes the following actions when a Type B DTC runs and fails.
• On the first time a Type B DTC fails:
• sets a current Type B DTC that represents the fault condition, and
• records the operating conditions at the time the fault sets and stores this information in the Failure Records.
• On the second consecutive ignition cycle that a Type B DTC fails:
• illuminates the MIL, and
• records the operating condition at the time the diagnostic fails and stores this information in the Freeze
Frame/ Failure Record.
Conditions for Clearing Type A or Type B DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current TCM self-diagnostics.
• If there are no DTCs logged after six consecutive ignition cycles, the TCM deactivates the MIL.
• Type A or Type B History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
• Use of Tech 2 to clear DTCs.
Type C – Non-emission Related DTCs
The TCM takes the following action when a Type C DTC runs and fails:
• sets a current Type C DTC that represents the fault condition,
• records the operating conditions at the time the DTC is logged and stores this information in the Failure Record,
and
NOTE
The MIL does not illuminate when a Type C DTC
sets.
Conditions for Clearing Type C DTCs
• The current DTC clears when there is no fault condition in the current TCM self-diagnostics.
• Type C History DTC clears when there is no fault condition after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles.
• Use of Tech 2 to clear DTCs.
Current DTCs
A DTC is a Current DTC if the fault condition that triggers the DTC is present during the last TCM self-diagnostics.
History DTCs
A DTC is a History DTC if the fault condition that triggers the DTC is not present during the last TCM self-diagnostics.
