Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 25
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 28

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation

Inputs And Outputs

PURPOSE

Control unit of fuel injection system.

OPERATION

It constantly looks at information from various sensors, and controls systems that affect vehicle
performance. The Engine Control Module (ECM) also performs diagnostic function of system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert driver through "Check Engine" light, and store a code or
codes which identify problem areas to aid technician in making repairs.

ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches and controls output circuits
such as fuel injectors, Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, A/C clutch relay, etc. by controlling ground circuit
through transistors or a "quad-driver".

Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Specifications > Page 55
Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The Engine Control Module (ECM) is a highly efficient component and replacement is rarely
needed. ECM failure is usually caused by another component. If an ECM is found to be faulty, be
sure to inspect all input and output circuits prior to installation of the the new ECM. Installing a new
ECM without correcting another possible problem will cause repeated ECM failure.

ECM TESTING

The ECM is a transistorized computer component. There are no specific testing procedures.
Diagnostic codes 51 indicate a faulty ECM or EEPROM. If this code is present, check that all ECM
connections are good, clear memory and recheck. If code 51 reappears, replace the ECM.

Always think of the ECM as the last possible source of a problem. Rarely do they fail.

Fuel Pump Relay Connector

LOCATION

In the fuse/relay center, in the engine compartment.


OPERATION

When ignition is switched "RUN" position (engine not running), ECM energizes fuel pump relay for
two seconds, causing fuel pump to pressurize fuel system. If ECM does not receive ignition
reference pulses (engine cranking or running) within two seconds, it will de-energize relay, stopping
fuel pump.

After the engine starts, the ECM uses the signal from the electronic ignition module to determine if
the engine is running. If the signal is interrupted, the ECM will not energize the fuel pump. This
prevents the fuel from operating when the engine is not running.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation

Deployment Loop and Sensing and Diagnostic Module

The deployment loop and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) are the two main portions of the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The deployment loop portion supplies current through the
SRS modules, which are used to deploy the air bags in the event of a front end collision of
sufficient force up to 30 ° off vehicle centerline.

Fig. 2 Deployment Loop Diagram

The deployment loop consists of the arming sensor, SRS coil, inflator modules and discriminating
sensors, Fig. 2. The arming sensor switches power to the inflator modules on the deployment loop
high side.

Either of the discriminating sensors may provide ground to the inflator modules on the deployment
loop low side. The modules will only be supplied sufficient current to deploy when the arming
sensor and at least one of the two discriminating sensors closes simultaneously for three
milliseconds or more.

The Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) contains a 24 Volt Loop Reserve (24 VLR) and a
sensing device to convert vehicle velocity changes to electrical signals. These are processed by
the SDM and compared to a value stored in memory. If the generated signal exceeds the stored
value, the SDM

Air Bag Control Module: Testing and Inspection

To ensure proper system operation on any vehicle involved in a collision, all system components
should be inspected for dents, cracks, exposure to excessive heat and other damage even if
deployment did not take place. The steering column, knee pad and instrument panel reinforcement
plate should be inspected for damage. All air bag system wiring should be checked for chaffing and
interference with other vehicle components. Do not attempt to repair forward discriminating sensor,
passenger compartment discriminating sensor, arming sensor, DERM, coil assembly, SIR module
or mounting brackets. If found to be damaged, replace with a new unit. To ensure proper operation
of the SIR system, the vehicle structure must be returned to its original configuration. When
repairing vehicle, the SIR system should be disarmed as outlined under Technician Safety
Information. Also, when performing service procedure, do not expose components or wiring to heat
guns, welding or spray guns.

Control Module: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

ECT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides engine temperature information to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V signal to the sensor and measures voltage variation. By measuring this
variation, the ECM measures coolant temperature. This input is a factor in calculations involving
most ECM controlled systems.
CONSTRUCTION

The coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor (a device whose resistance changes with
temperature) mounted in the engine cooling system. Low temperature produces high resistance
(100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F) while high temperature produces low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C /
266°F).

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 144
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Blower Motor Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 145

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Blower Motor Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 147
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Blower Motor Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 150

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Blower Motor Switch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 151
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Headlamp Switch: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 215
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 216

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Headlamp Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 218
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Headlamp Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 221

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

ECT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides engine temperature information to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V signal to the sensor and measures voltage variation. By measuring this
variation, the ECM measures coolant temperature. This input is a factor in calculations involving
most ECM controlled systems.

CONSTRUCTION

The coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor (a device whose resistance changes with
temperature) mounted in the engine cooling system. Low temperature produces high resistance
(100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F) while high temperature produces low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C /
266°F).

MAT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with intake air temperature. The ECM uses this
information to determine air density.

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V reference signal to the sensor and by measuring the voltage change can
determine the manifold air temperature.

Low temperature results in high resistance (100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F); high temperature results
in low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C / 266°F).

IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing and delays EGR when intake air is cold.

A failure in Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit should set a Code 23.

CONSTRUCTION

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor is a thermistor (resistor) whose resistance value varies in
relation to the temperature of air entering the engine.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation

MAP Sensor

PURPOSE

Measures pressure in the intake manifold.

OPERATION

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold
pressure which result from engine load and speed changes, and converts this to a voltage output.
A closed throttle on engine coast down would produce a relatively low MAP output, while a Wide
Open Throttle would produce a high output. MAP is the OPPOSITE of what would be measured on
a vacuum gage. When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low. The MAP sensor is also used to
measure BAROMETRIC PRESSURE under contain conditions, which allows the ECM to
automatically adjust for different altitudes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5 volts
reference signal to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the electrical resistance of
the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the manifold
pressure. A higher pressure, low vacuum (high voltage) requires more fuel, while a lower pressure,
higher vacuum (low voltage) requires less fuel.

A failure in the MAP sensor circuit should set a DTC 33. See: Powertrain Management/Computers
and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 33

Chart C-1D MAP Sensor Output Voltage Check

Circuit Description

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and revolution per minute changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output voltage
will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4 -
4.8 at Wide Open Throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, allowing the ECM to make adjustment for different altitudes. The ECM
uses the MAP sensor to control fuel delivery and ignition timing.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart. NOTE Be sure to use the same
Diagnostic Test Equipment for all measurements.

1. When comparing "Scan tool" readings to a known good vehicle, it is important to compare
vehicle that use a MAP sensor having the same color insert or having the same "Hot Stamped"
number.

2. Applying 34 kPa (10" hydragyrum) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be
1.5-2.1 volts than the voltage at Step 1. Upon applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in
voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a faulty sensor.

3. Check vacuum hose to sensor for leaking or restriction. Be sure that no other vacuum devices
are connected the MAP hose.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

HO2S

PURPOSE

The oxygen (O2) sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. The ECM monitors the
sensor to maintain air/fuel mixture of 14.7 to 1.

OPERATION

The oxygen sensor monitors atmospheric air versus exhaust gas oxygen content to produce a
voltage output. This voltage ranges from approximately 0.1 volt (high oxygen-lean mixture) to 0.9
volt (low oxygen-rich mixture). By monitoring the oxygen sensor output voltage, the computer can
determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and adjust the air/fuel mixture accordingly, this
is known as "CLOSED LOOP" operation.

When the sensor is cold it is like an open circuit and produces no voltage below 600°F (315°C). An
open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes "OPEN LOOP" operation.

The heated oxygen sensor works in the same manner as the non-heated oxygen sensor. The
exception is that B+ is supplied to a heating unit that is part of the sensor itself. This heater
receives voltage from the generator charging circuit. The heater helps the ECM control the fuel
injection sooner for better fuel emissions. There are no malfunction Codes to detect if the heater
part of the sensor is working.

varying voltage to be produced by the HO2S more rapidly instead of waiting for the HO2S to
heat-up on its own.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart. The following test procedures
are for the heater part of the HO2S. No malfunction Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) will be logged
if the heater fails to function properly.

1. This will verify that battery positive voltage is present for the heater.

2. This check will test the ground circuit to the heater.

3. This test the heater element resistance. Resistance will vary with the temperature of the sensor.
Normal resistance is between 3.5 - 14.3 ohms.

Diagnostic Aids

^ A poor or loose connection at the HO2S could result in a false DTC being set or the C2 heater
not functioning properly.

^ A shorted HO2S heater could cause a DTC 13 to set.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides the ECM with power steering load information.

LOCATION

In the pressure line, near the radiator.

OPERATION

The Power Steering Pressure Switch tells ECM vehicle is in parking maneuver. ECM will
compensate for additional engine load by adjusting idle air control valve and switching OFF A/C
compressor when high pressures are detected.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.
Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.

2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.
Cycling Circuit Breaker

The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Information and Instructions > Page 311
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color
FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Information and Instructions > Page 312

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.
Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 314
Step 2: Cut the Wire
Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Information and Instructions > Page 315
Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp
Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 316
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping
Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 317

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence


Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve

Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Information and Instructions > Page 318
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with vehicle speed information.

OPERATION

The ECM applies and monitors a 12V signal to the sensor. When the drive wheels are turning, the
sensor alternately grounds the circuit, creating a pulsing action. The ECM calculates vehicle speed
based on the time between pulses. This sensor is used to help control the operation of the idle air
control system

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Specifications > Page 331
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

ISUZU DEALER ADVISORY: AVAILABILITY OF AIRBAG ON-OFF SWITCH KITS (SUPERSEDES


SB98-04-L003)

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu models equipped with driver and/or passenger airbags.

SERVICE INFORMATION Genuine Isuzu Air Bag On-Off Switch Kits are now available from
AIPDN.

On November 18, 1997, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a new
regulation, published in the November 21, 1997 Federal Register, allowing motor vehicle owners to
have airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles under certain limited conditions. Under the
new regulation, vehicle owners may obtain written authorization from NHTSA to have retrofit driver
and/or passenger-side airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles only if they fall into one or
more of the following categories of people at risk:

- Those who cannot avoid placing a rear-facing infant seat in the front passenger seat.

- Those who have an unusual medical condition that place them at specific risk.

- Those drivers who cannot adjust their seating position to keep back approximately 10 inches from
the steering wheel.

- Those who cannot avoid situations - such as a car pool - that require a child 12 years or under to
ride in the front seat.

Vehicle owners who are interested in learning about airbag on-off switches may contact NHTSA's
toll-free Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or browse their web site at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. NHTSA will
provide the vehicle owner with an information brochure Air Bags & On-Off Switches: Information for
an Informed Decision and the accompanying form Request for Air Bag On-Off Switch. If after
reading the brochure, a vehicle owner decides to seek an authorization letter from NHTSA, he or
she must fill out the request form and mail it to NHTSA. If NHTSA approves the request, NHTSA
will then send the owner a letter authorizing dealers or other repair outlets to install an on-off switch
in his or her vehicle. (Remember that each on-off switch requires a separate authorization letter
from NHTSA.).

As a final matter, we remind you that the new regulation does not require dealers to install on~off
switches under any circumstances; it simply authorizes dealers to take such actions if the customer
has a specific authorization letter from NHTSA. Dealers must make their own decisions.

4. On the mode switch side of the connector, install an ohmmeter between the red wire (violet wire
on '91 models) and the yellow wire (Figure 2).
5. a. If the ohmmeter reads continuity with the transmission selector lever in any other position
other than "P" (Park) or "N" (Neutral), the mode switch requires adjustment. Adjust mode switch as
described in Step 12 of this Service Procedure, then recheck mode switch operation starting from
Step 3.

After adjusting the mode switch, if the above check still results in continuity with the lever in any
other position other than "P" or "N", replace the mode switch (see "Parts Information" section of this
Service Bulletin) as described in the appropriate Workshop Manual. Then follow the mode switch
adjustment procedure described in Step 12.

b. If the ohmmeter reads continuity with the transmission selector lever in "P" or "N", but the engine
still does not start with the lever in "N", continue with this diagnosis procedure.

6. Remove the ohmmeter.

4. On the mode switch side of the connector, install an ohmmeter between the red wire (violet wire
on '91 models) and the yellow wire (Figure 2).
5. a. If the ohmmeter reads continuity with the transmission selector lever in any other position
other than "P" (Park) or "N" (Neutral), the mode switch requires adjustment. Adjust mode switch as
described in Step 12 of this Service Procedure, then recheck mode switch operation starting from
Step 3.

After adjusting the mode switch, if the above check still results in continuity with the lever in any
other position other than "P" or "N", replace the mode switch (see "Parts Information" section of this
Service Bulletin) as described in the appropriate Workshop Manual. Then follow the mode switch
adjustment procedure described in Step 12.

b. If the ohmmeter reads continuity with the transmission selector lever in "P" or "N", but the engine
still does not start with the lever in "N", continue with this diagnosis procedure.

Power Steering Pressure Switch: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides the ECM with power steering load information.

LOCATION

In the pressure line, near the radiator.

OPERATION

The Power Steering Pressure Switch tells ECM vehicle is in parking maneuver. ECM will
compensate for additional engine load by adjusting idle air control valve and switching OFF A/C
compressor when high pressures are detected.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, It is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before servicing the fuel system. Unless this procedure is followed before servicing fuel lines and
connections, fuel spray could occur.

When repair to the fuel system has been completed, Start engine and check all connections that
were loosened for possible leaks.

1. Remove fuel cap 2. Remove fuel pump relay from underhood relay center. 3. Start engine and
allow to stall. 4. Crank engine for additional 30 seconds. 5. Remove negative battery cable.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation

Spark Plug Cutaway View


PURPOSE

Spark plugs allow high-voltage secondary current to arc across a small air gap to ignite the air/fuel
mixture in the combustion chamber.

Spark Plug Temperature

HEAT RANGE

The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator, the smaller the heatsink area will be. This causes the spark
plug to be hotter.

The heat range of the plug is determined by its ability to dissipate heat created during combustion.
If too cold a plug is used, the possibility of fouling is increased. A plug that is too hot can cause
preignition. Hotter plugs tend to burn cleaner with less deposit build-up. They can be used for
stop-start city driving, but not for extended high speed or load conditions as engine damage can
occur.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

- Check the electrodes and insulators for cracks. Replace if faulty.

- Check the electrodes for wear and replace as necessary.

- Check the gaskets for damage and replace as necessary.

- Check insulation resistance with an ohmmeter. Replace if defective. SPARK PLUG INSULATION
RESISTANCE

50 M ohms

- Check spark plug gap. Adjust or replace as necessary. SPARK PLUG ELECTRODE GAP

1.05 mm (0.040 in)

- If spark plug fouling is excessive, check fuel and electrical systems for possible causes. If those
systems are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat range.

- If burning of the electrodes or insulator is considerable, install spark plugs of a lower heat range.

SOOTY SPARK PLUGS

If the electrodes and insulators are fouled with carbon or oil, the engine will operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes: -

Rich fuel mixture.

- Retarded ignition timeing.

- Excessive engine wear (oil in cylinders).

- Incorrect plug gap.

BLISTERED OR SCORCHED SPARK PLUGS

This condition is caused by excessive temperature at the spark plug. Common causes are: -

Lean fuel mixture.

- Advanced ignition timing.

- Incorrect plug gap.

- Incorrect plug heat range.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

Precautions
Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, It is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before servicing the fuel system. Unless this procedure is followed before servicing fuel lines and
connections, fuel spray could occur.

When repair to the fuel system has been completed, Start engine and check all connections that
were loosened for possible leaks.

1. Remove fuel cap 2. Remove fuel pump relay from underhood relay center. 3. Start engine and
allow to stall. 4. Crank engine for additional 30 seconds. 5. Remove negative battery cable.

Hoses: Service Precautions

SERVICE PRECAUTIONS

To prevent vehicle damage, always observe the following precautions: -

After servicing a hose, check for leaks before and after test driving the vehicle.

- Always use the correct size hose. Do not use standard sized hose in place of metric hose or vice
versa.

Always use the correct type of hose. Never use vacuum hose in place of fuel hose. Never use
heater hose in place of PCV hose.

- When replacing hoses which are attached to the engine on one end and the frame or body on the
other end, always leave sufficient length to compensate for engine movement (from torque).

PROPYLENE GLYCOL - BASED ENGINE COOLANT (Supersedes SB94-14-005)

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu passenger, sport utility, and light truck models.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Isuzu has determined that propylene glycol-based engine coolants, such as Safe Brands' Sierra
engine coolant, will perform adequately under most vehicle operating conditions. As a result,
propylene glycol-based engine coolants may be used in Isuzu vehicles.

A few important points to remember regarding propylene glycol-based engine coolants:

^ Freeze/boil point levels for propylene glycol are different than for ethylene glycol.

^ To accurately determine the freeze/boil protection level, it is imperative that the coolants not be
mixed.

^ Prior to adding propylene glycol engine coolant to the cooling system, all ethylene glycol coolant
must be removed.

^ When changing the coolant to propylene glycol, be certain to thoroughly flush the heater core and
block as well as the radiator.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL-BASED ENGINE COOLANT WARNING

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu passenger and light duty models.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Some new propylene glycol-based engine coolants, such as Safe Brands' Sierra engine coolant,
have recently been marketed in the automotive service industry as "environmentally safe"
alternatives to conventional ethylene glycol-based engine coolants.

Propylene glycol-based engine coolants are not approved by Isuzu for use in Isuzu vehicles.

Propylene glycol-based engine coolants do not meet Isuzu engine coolant specifications. Use of
propylene glycol-based engine coolants in Isuzu vehicles can cause the following:

^ Reduced heater and defroster performance.

^ Decreased boil protection and freeze protection.

^ Decreased cylinder head heat transfer.

^ Corrosion damage to cooling system metals (if mixed with ethylene glycol-based engine coolant).

All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film
of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the power stroke, part of this oil layer is consumed in the
combustion process. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all
engines.

Oil Consumption

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Ascender, i-280, i-290, i-350, and i-370
vehicles is 1 quart (0.946 liter) in 2,000 miles (3200 km).

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Trooper (UX), Axiom (UP), VehiCROSS
(VX), Rodeo (UE), and Rodeo Sport/Amigo (UA) vehicles is 1 quart (0.473 liter) in 1,000 mi (1600
km).

IMPORTANT:

Always refer to the Isuzu Service Policies and Procedures Manual for specific details on warranty
coverage and policies.

This rate only applies to personal use vehicles, under warranty, that are driven in a non-aggressive
manner and maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, with less than
36,000 miles (58,000 km), driven at legal speeds in an unloaded (for trucks) condition.

IMPORTANT:

This rate does not apply to vehicles that are driven in an aggressive manner, at high RPM, high
speeds, or in a loaded condition (for trucks). Oil consumption for vehicles driven under these
conditions will be more.

Many factors can affect a customer's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle
maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether
the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption.

Gasket and External Leaks

Inspect the oil pan and engine covers for leakage due to overtightened, damaged, or out of place
gaskets. Inspect oil lines and fittings for signs of leakage.

Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick)

Verify that the dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the
dipstick is wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the
shoulder bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the
engine/vehicle that is being checked.

IMPORTANT:

Refer to the Owner Manual for checking and adding engine oil.

Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level

Some engines require more time than others for the oil to drain back into the crankcase. To assure
a sufficient amount of oil has drained back to the crankcase, and an accurate reading can be
obtained, the vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been
shut off, before taking an oil level reading. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of
the oil should be close to the same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked.

Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change


Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that
the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality.

Aggressive Driving, High Speed or High RPM Driving

Aggressive driving and/or continuous driving at high speeds/high RPM will increase oil
consumption. Because this may not always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine
exactly how much the oil economy will be affected.

Towing or Heavy Usage

Towing a trailer will increase oil consumption and may cause oil consumption to fall below the
normal accepted rate referenced in this bulletin for an unloaded vehicle in a personal use
application. Large frontal area trailers will further increase the work required from the engine,
especially at highway speeds, and thus increases the rate of oil consumption.

Crankcase Ventilation System

Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages,
restrictions, or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.

Oil Dilution (Fuel and Water)

On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 5 miles (8 km), especially in colder
weather, unburned fuel and condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot
enough to evaporate out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is
over-full. Subsequent driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating
temperature for 30 minutes or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture and fuel, may give the
customer the impression of excessive oil consumption.

Engine Temperature

If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. Verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.

Engine Wear

Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.

ISSUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 2000

GROUP: ENGINE

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

PARTS INFORMATION

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Technical Service Bulletins for Engine Oil: > SB00-01-S009 > Sep > 00 > Engine Valve Train - Ticking Noise > Page 653
Service Procedure

1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.

15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

restrictions, or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.

Oil Dilution (Fuel and Water)

On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 5 miles (8 km), especially in colder
weather, unburned fuel and condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot
enough to evaporate out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is
over-full. Subsequent driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating
temperature for 30 minutes or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture and fuel, may give the
customer the impression of excessive oil consumption.

Engine Temperature

If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. Verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.

Engine Wear

Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.

Information: IB07-12-S004

Issue Date: AUGUST 2007

New SAE J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standard

Affected Vehicles All Isuzu Light Duty Vehicles

Service Information

New SAE J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standard

A new SAE standard approved for R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recharging Equipment (SAE
J2788) replaces SAE J2210 as the standard covering all mobile refrigerant recovery recharge
equipment. SAE J2788 contains several mandates that enhance vehicle A/C service for two key
reasons. The standard reduces the amount of refrigerant that can be lost to the atmosphere due to
growing concerns over global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. The standard also more
tightly controls the equipment accuracy for recharging due to OEM vehicle system refrigerant
capacities becoming smaller, which requires a more accurate charge for peak operating
performance. SAE J2788 will supersede J2210 in December 2007. At this time manufacturers will
no longer be able to produce J2210 equipment.

IMPORTANT:

This new standard does not affect equipment already produced before December 2007. You DO
NOT have to replace the equipment that you are currently using.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently in the process of rewriting the Federal
Registry, which will likely prohibit sale of SAE J2210 equipment at the end of March 2008.

^ The EPA does not currently have a plan to ban the use of J2210 equipment.

^ Current J2210 equipment can continue to be used by service locations for the useful life of the
equipment.

^ Purchase of new compliant equipment is not a requirement of SAE J2788 or the EPA.

New machinery built after December 2007 will meet or exceed the new specifications.

The SPX Robinair model 34788 was the first product certified to J2788 and has been in full
production and in service since December 2006. It meets all requirements outlined above and
includes numerous user friendly features beyond the SAE standard.

Please contact Isuzu Dealer Equipment Program Customer Service for additional product
information.

Refrigerant: Service Precautions

Service Procedures

The Ozone Layer

A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a protective cover by
absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.

Ozone Depletion

Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone depletion. When CFC's
are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer located in the stratosphere
where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.

Harmful Effects

Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown to lead to higher
incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global perspective, ozone
depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.

Upper Level vs. Ground Level Ozone

Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of the ozone layer and ground level
ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial but the same compound, when
located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and vegetation.

Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.

Montreal Protocol

In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental effects of (CFC)s, 24
countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to establish standards for
the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become signatories to this
agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all developed countries.

As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.

Clean Air Act

The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned production of
(CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to control both the
production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle air conditioning
systems.

Alternative Refrigerants

The introduction of alternative refrigerants, primarily the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 134a, aims at
preventing further ozone layer depletion. Because 134a is chlorine free, it is deemed ozone safe.

Bleeding operation calls for co-operative action of two persons. Perform bleeding operation with
``Engine Running,'' to prevent damage to pushrod seal. Ensure exhaust system is suitably
ventilated.

1. Set the parking brake firmly. 2. If diaphragm in the reservoir cap is stretched, reform to original
position or replace as necessary. Fill the brake fluid reservoir with recommended

brake fluid, then install cap.

3. Connect a vinyl hose to the bleeder screw and the other end of the pipe in a transparent
container. 4. Pump the brake pedal several times and hold it depressed. Loosen the bleeder screw
to release brake fluid together with air bubbles. Tighten the

bleeder screw before pressure is released completely.

5. Repeat Step 4 until the air bubbles are no longer visible, bleed the system starting with the rear
side farthest from the brake fluid reservoir. Check

brake fluid reservoir often, adding fluid as necessary.

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 706

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the
total particulate.

Passenger air bag assembly

Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Electrical Test Equipment

When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector. Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not
tamper with the connector. Inserting the probe into the terminal side of the connector, and
tampering the connector could cause malfunction of the SRS system or an error in inspection.

Use a probe with the correct tip. Do not insert the probe forcibly.

Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using tools which are not specified standard
design could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners

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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other parts.

Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 730
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 731

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 733
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 736

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fuses and Circuit Breakers > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams
> Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 737
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Illuminates when a influencing occurs that will affect emission control performance. Flashes trouble
codes (DTC) during testing operations.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

When the system detects a fault in a monitored component and/or circuit, the light will come on and
stay on (while the engine is running), alerting the driver to seek service. With intermittent problems,
the light may come on and then go out, but a trouble code will be stored in ECM memory if correct
parameters are met. The technician can then extract trouble codes from the ECM that will aid in the
diagnosis and repair.

Another function of the "Check Engine" light is Field Service Mode. When the diagnostic terminal is
grounded with the engine running, the system will enter this mode and indicate whether it is in
"Open Loop" or "Closed Loop." If in "Open Loop," the "Check Engine" light flashes two and one-half
times per second. In "Closed Loop," the light flashes once per second.

In "Closed Loop", the light will stay "OFF" most of the time if the system is running too lean. It will
stay "ON" most of the time if the system is too rich.

While in Field Service Mode, new trouble codes cannot be stored in the ECM memory and the
"Closed Loop" timer is bypassed.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - A/T: Description and Operation

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Information On Proper Tire Pressure

ISSUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 2006

Affected Vehicles

All Light Duty Isuzu Vehicles

Service Information

IMPORTANT:

Generally a 5.6°C (10° F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 1 psi (6.9 kpa) tire
pressure change. Tires may be over inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process.
ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on
the vehicles placard during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION.

Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure.

The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct
pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle's tire placard. The tire
placard is located on the driver's side front or rear door edge, or the rear compartment lid.

Tip

^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 1 psi (6.9 kpa) tire
pressure change.

^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours or driven no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide. Always inspect and adjust the
pressure when the tires are cold. Vehicles that have different pressures for the front and the rear
need to be adjusted after tire rotation.

Improper tire inflation may result in any or all of the following conditions:

^ Premature tire wear

^ Harsh ride

^ Excessive road noise

^ Poor handling

^ Reduced fuel economy

^ Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Light ON

^ Low Tire Pressure Message on the Drivers Information Center (DIC)

BULLETIN NUMBER SB94-08-001

ISSUE DATE NOVEMBER 1994

GROUP TIRES & WHEELS

RADIAL TIRE SIDEWALL INDENTATIONS

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu models equipped with radial tires.

SERVICE INFORMATION

On some affected vehicles, slight indentations may be noticeable on the sidewall surface of one or
more tires, giving the sidewall a wavy appearance.

The cause of these indentations lies in a radial tire's construction. In a radial tire, the body ply cords
run straight across the tire from bead to bead. Because of this "straight across" construction, the
joining of the ply material in the sidewall area may sometimes cause the sidewall surface to
develop slight indentations when the tire is inflated.

These sidewall indentations are a common characteristic of radial tires and will not affect the tire's
performance.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

PARTS INFORMATION

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Engine Valve Train - Ticking Noise > Page 831
Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

Engine Valve Train - Ticking Noise > Page 832
6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

1. Check the connecting rod alignment with a connecting rod alignment tool (Fig 6A-120) If either
the bend or the twist exceeds the specified limit,

the connecting rod must be replaced.

2. Measure the connecting rod thrust clearance. Use a feeler gauge to measure the thrust
clearance at the big end of the connecting rod (Fig. 6A-121).

If the clearance exceeds the specified limit, the connecting rod must be replaced.

3. Measure the oil clearance between the connecting rod and the crankshaft by:

1) Remove the connecting rod cap nuts and the rod caps. Arrange the removed rod caps in the
cylinder number order. 2) Clean the rod bearings and the crankshaft pins. 3) Carefully check the
rod bearings. If even one bearing is found to be damaged or badly worn, the entire bearing
assembly must be replaced as a

set. Reinstall the bearings in their original positions. Apply plastigage to the crank pin (Fig. 6A-122).

4) Reinstall the rod caps to their original positions.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

PARTS INFORMATION

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.

NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Service Procedure

1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, It is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before servicing the fuel system. Unless this procedure is followed before servicing fuel lines and
connections, fuel spray could occur.

When repair to the fuel system has been completed, Start engine and check all connections that
were loosened for possible leaks.

1. Remove fuel cap 2. Remove fuel pump relay from underhood relay center. 3. Start engine and
allow to stall. 4. Crank engine for additional 30 seconds. 5. Remove negative battery cable.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) models equipped with 6VDl engine.

SERVICE INFORMATION

When reinstalling cylinder head covers on affected vehicles, care must be taken to ensure that the
head cover bolts are properly tightened. Use only a good quality torque wrench and tighten only to
the specifications listed in the appropriate Workshop Manual. Do not use air impact wrenches to
tighten cylinder head cover bolts. Air wrenches tighten the bolt until the corner tab on the cylinder
head cover either cracks or breaks (Figure 1). Once the tab is damaged, an oil leak will result. This
damage can be incorrectly diagnosed as a leaking head gasket or a rear main oil seal. Cracked or
broken cylinder head covers due to over tightening are not covered under warranty.

2. Information released on paper and electronic format prior to bulletin release cannot be updated.
For the most current and up to date information refer to website.
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film
of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the power stroke, part of this oil layer is consumed in the
combustion process. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all
engines.

Oil Consumption

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Ascender, i-280, i-290, i-350, and i-370
vehicles is 1 quart (0.946 liter) in 2,000 miles (3200 km).

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Trooper (UX), Axiom (UP), VehiCROSS
(VX), Rodeo (UE), and Rodeo Sport/Amigo (UA) vehicles is 1 quart (0.473 liter) in 1,000 mi (1600
km).

IMPORTANT:

Always refer to the Isuzu Service Policies and Procedures Manual for specific details on warranty
coverage and policies.

This rate only applies to personal use vehicles, under warranty, that are driven in a non-aggressive
manner and maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, with less than
36,000 miles (58,000 km), driven at legal speeds in an unloaded (for trucks) condition.

IMPORTANT:

This rate does not apply to vehicles that are driven in an aggressive manner, at high RPM, high
speeds, or in a loaded condition (for trucks). Oil consumption for vehicles driven under these
conditions will be more.

Many factors can affect a customer's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle
maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether
the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption.

Gasket and External Leaks

Inspect the oil pan and engine covers for leakage due to overtightened, damaged, or out of place
gaskets. Inspect oil lines and fittings for signs of leakage.

Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick)

Verify that the dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the
dipstick is wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the
shoulder bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the
engine/vehicle that is being checked.

IMPORTANT:

Refer to the Owner Manual for checking and adding engine oil.

Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level

Some engines require more time than others for the oil to drain back into the crankcase. To assure
a sufficient amount of oil has drained back to the crankcase, and an accurate reading can be
obtained, the vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been
shut off, before taking an oil level reading. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of
the oil should be close to the same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked.

Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change


Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that
the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality.

Aggressive Driving, High Speed or High RPM Driving

Aggressive driving and/or continuous driving at high speeds/high RPM will increase oil
consumption. Because this may not always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine
exactly how much the oil economy will be affected.

Towing or Heavy Usage

Towing a trailer will increase oil consumption and may cause oil consumption to fall below the
normal accepted rate referenced in this bulletin for an unloaded vehicle in a personal use
application. Large frontal area trailers will further increase the work required from the engine,
especially at highway speeds, and thus increases the rate of oil consumption.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Technical Service Bulletins for Engine Oil: > SB07-01-S001 > Jan > 07 >
Engine - Oil Usage Testing and Reporting > Page 995

Crankcase Ventilation System

Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages,
restrictions, or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.

Oil Dilution (Fuel and Water)

On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 5 miles (8 km), especially in colder
weather, unburned fuel and condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot
enough to evaporate out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is
over-full. Subsequent driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating
temperature for 30 minutes or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture and fuel, may give the
customer the impression of excessive oil consumption.

Engine Temperature

If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. Verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.

Engine Wear

Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.

BULLETIN NUMBER: SB00-01-S009

ISSUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 2000

GROUP: ENGINE

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

PARTS INFORMATION

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

2. Information released on paper and electronic format prior to bulletin release cannot be updated.
For the most current and up to date information refer to website.
All engines require oil to lubricate and protect the load bearing and internal moving parts from wear
including cylinder walls, pistons and piston rings. When a piston moves down its cylinder, a thin film
of oil is left on the cylinder wall. During the power stroke, part of this oil layer is consumed in the
combustion process. As a result, varying rates of oil consumption are accepted as normal in all
engines.

Oil Consumption

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Ascender, i-280, i-290, i-350, and i-370
vehicles is 1 quart (0.946 liter) in 2,000 miles (3200 km).

The accepted rate of oil consumption for engines used in Trooper (UX), Axiom (UP), VehiCROSS
(VX), Rodeo (UE), and Rodeo Sport/Amigo (UA) vehicles is 1 quart (0.473 liter) in 1,000 mi (1600
km).

IMPORTANT:

Always refer to the Isuzu Service Policies and Procedures Manual for specific details on warranty
coverage and policies.

This rate only applies to personal use vehicles, under warranty, that are driven in a non-aggressive
manner and maintained in accordance with the appropriate maintenance schedule, with less than
36,000 miles (58,000 km), driven at legal speeds in an unloaded (for trucks) condition.

IMPORTANT:

This rate does not apply to vehicles that are driven in an aggressive manner, at high RPM, high
speeds, or in a loaded condition (for trucks). Oil consumption for vehicles driven under these
conditions will be more.

Many factors can affect a customer's concern with oil consumption. Driving habits and vehicle
maintenance vary from owner to owner. Thoroughly evaluate each case before deciding whether
the vehicle in question has abnormal engine oil consumption.

Gasket and External Leaks

Inspect the oil pan and engine covers for leakage due to overtightened, damaged, or out of place
gaskets. Inspect oil lines and fittings for signs of leakage.

Improper Reading of the Oil Level Indicator (Dipstick)

Verify that the dipstick tube is fully seated in the block. When checking the oil level, make sure the
dipstick is wiped clean before taking an oil level reading and fully depress the dipstick until the
shoulder bottoms out on the dipstick tube. The dipstick should be the proper part number for the
engine/vehicle that is being checked.

IMPORTANT:

Refer to the Owner Manual for checking and adding engine oil.

Not Waiting Long Enough After Running Engine to Check Oil Level

Some engines require more time than others for the oil to drain back into the crankcase. To assure
a sufficient amount of oil has drained back to the crankcase, and an accurate reading can be
obtained, the vehicle should be allowed to sit for at least 15 minutes, after the engine has been
shut off, before taking an oil level reading. In order to ensure accurate results, the temperature of
the oil should be close to the same temperature as the last time the oil level was checked.

Improper Oil Fill After an Oil Change


Following an oil change, verify that the proper amount and type of oil was put in the engine and that
the oil level on the dipstick is not above the full mark or below the add marks. Refer to the Owner's
Manual or Service Manual for information on recommended oil quantity, viscosity, and quality.

Aggressive Driving, High Speed or High RPM Driving

Aggressive driving and/or continuous driving at high speeds/high RPM will increase oil
consumption. Because this may not always be an everyday occurrence, it is hard to determine
exactly how much the oil economy will be affected.

Towing or Heavy Usage

Towing a trailer will increase oil consumption and may cause oil consumption to fall below the
normal accepted rate referenced in this bulletin for an unloaded vehicle in a personal use
application. Large frontal area trailers will further increase the work required from the engine,
especially at highway speeds, and thus increases the rate of oil consumption.

Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other Service Bulletins for Engine Oil: > SB07-01-S001 > Jan > 07 > Engine
- Oil Usage Testing and Reporting > Page 1023

Crankcase Ventilation System

Verify that the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system is operating properly. Blockages,
restrictions, or damage to the PCV system can result in increased oil use.

Oil Dilution (Fuel and Water)

On vehicles that are usually driven short distances, less than 5 miles (8 km), especially in colder
weather, unburned fuel and condensation generated from cold engine operation may not get hot
enough to evaporate out of the oil. When this occurs, the dipstick may indicate that the oil level is
over-full. Subsequent driving on a trip of sufficient length to enable normal engine operating
temperature for 30 minutes or more, in order to vaporize excess moisture and fuel, may give the
customer the impression of excessive oil consumption.

Engine Temperature

If an engine is run at overheated temperatures (see Owner's Manual or Service Manual) for more
than brief periods, oil will oxidize at a faster than normal rate. In addition, gaskets may distort,
piston rings may stick, and excessive wear may result. Verify that all cooling system components
are in proper working order.

Engine Wear

Piston scuffing, excessive piston-to-wall clearance, tapered or out of round cylinders, worn,
damaged or improperly installed valve guides, seals and piston rings will all cause an increase in
oil consumption.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Oil pressure gauge readings can vary greatly as oil temperature and engine speed change. A "low"
gauge reading at hot idle does not necessarily indicate a lubrication system problem.

This Service Bulletin describes oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning light operation.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Oil Pressure Gauge

Depending on oil temperature and engine RPM, the normal oil pressure gauge reading can range
from 8.5 psi at hot idle to more than 100 psi during cold acceleration (Figure 1).

If the engine oil pressure is below 8.5 psi, follow the appropriate Workshop Manual instructions for
diagnosis and repair procedures for the lubrication system and/or oil pressure gauge.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1057
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Gauge >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1060
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Engine Lubrication > Oil Pressure Gauge >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1063

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Oil pressure gauge readings can vary greatly as oil temperature and engine speed change. A "low"
gauge reading at hot idle does not necessarily indicate a lubrication system problem.

This Service Bulletin describes oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning light operation.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Oil Pressure Gauge

Depending on oil temperature and engine RPM, the normal oil pressure gauge reading can range
from 8.5 psi at hot idle to more than 100 psi during cold acceleration (Figure 1).

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Finding A Short Circuit

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Gauge
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1116
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Gauge
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1119

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Lamps and Indicators - Engine > Oil Pressure Gauge
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1120
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Oil pressure gauge readings can vary greatly as oil temperature and engine speed change. A "low"
gauge reading at hot idle does not necessarily indicate a lubrication system problem.

This Service Bulletin describes oil pressure gauge and oil pressure warning light operation.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Oil Pressure Gauge

Depending on oil temperature and engine RPM, the normal oil pressure gauge reading can range
from 8.5 psi at hot idle to more than 100 psi during cold acceleration (Figure 1).

If the engine oil pressure is below 8.5 psi, follow the appropriate Workshop Manual instructions for
diagnosis and repair procedures for the lubrication system and/or oil pressure gauge.

GROUP ENGINE

TROOPER (UX) AND RODEO (UC) CAMSHAFT END PLUG RETAINING PLATE CAMPAIGN
BULLETIN

CAMPAIGN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Number 94V-094 has been assigned to this campaign. This number will appear on all
communications and documentation of any nature dealing with the campaign.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: Certain 1992-94 Trooper models with 3.2L 6VD1 engines (SOHC and DOHC versions)
and 1993-94 Rodeo models with 3.2L 6VD1 SOHC engines, may expenence dislodging of the
camshaft end plug(s) from the cylinder heads causing rapid oil loss. Continued operation of the
engine could result in engine damage, and in the worst case, an engine compartment fire from oil
spilling on the exhaust system.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Possible Cause: Analysis indicates that this condition is most likely to occur in cold weather climate
and is attributable to the constant expansion and contraction of the cylinder head metal, which
causes the camshaft end plug(s) to become dislodged from the cylinder head.

Correction: To correct this condition, dealers will install a camshaft end plug retaining plate kit on all
affected vehicles. When installed, as described in this Campaign Bulletin, these parts will provide
the necessary support to keep the camshaft end plugs from dislodging and thus prevent any rapid
oil loss, potential engine damage, and fluid ignition.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Isuzu Dealers are required to service all eligible vehicles at no charge to the owner, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealer's vehicle inventory, or arrives at a


dealership for service, the dealer must take the necessary steps to ensure that this campaign
correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Each Isuzu Dealer will be supplied a copy of the AIMI Campaign Report (AWS 123-1A) listing
affected vehicles assigned to that dealership. The report contains VIN and detailed owner
information obtained from state motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, dealers
are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. If
none of the affected vehicles are assigned to a dealership, no campaign report will be sent.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

American Isuzu Motors Inc. will notify owners of affected vehicles already retailed by letter (see

BULLETIN NUMBER SB94-01-002

ISSUE DATE JULY 1994

GROUP ENGINE

TROOPER (UX) AND RODEO (UC) CAMSHAFT END PLUG RETAINING PLATE CAMPAIGN
BULLETIN

CAMPAIGN IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Number 94V-094 has been assigned to this campaign. This number will appear on all
communications and documentation of any nature dealing with the campaign.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: Certain 1992-94 Trooper models with 3.2L 6VD1 engines (SOHC and DOHC versions)
and 1993-94 Rodeo models with 3.2L 6VD1 SOHC engines, may expenence dislodging of the
camshaft end plug(s) from the cylinder heads causing rapid oil loss. Continued operation of the
engine could result in engine damage, and in the worst case, an engine compartment fire from oil
spilling on the exhaust system.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Possible Cause: Analysis indicates that this condition is most likely to occur in cold weather climate
and is attributable to the constant expansion and contraction of the cylinder head metal, which
causes the camshaft end plug(s) to become dislodged from the cylinder head.

Correction: To correct this condition, dealers will install a camshaft end plug retaining plate kit on all
affected vehicles. When installed, as described in this Campaign Bulletin, these parts will provide
the necessary support to keep the camshaft end plugs from dislodging and thus prevent any rapid
oil loss, potential engine damage, and fluid ignition.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Isuzu Dealers are required to service all eligible vehicles at no charge to the owner, regardless of
mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership.

Whenever a vehicle subject to this campaign is in a dealer's vehicle inventory, or arrives at a


dealership for service, the dealer must take the necessary steps to ensure that this campaign
correction has been made before selling or releasing the vehicle.

Each Isuzu Dealer will be supplied a copy of the AIMI Campaign Report (AWS 123-1A) listing
affected vehicles assigned to that dealership. The report contains VIN and detailed owner
information obtained from state motor vehicle registration records. The use of such motor vehicle
registration data for any other purpose is a violation of law in several states. Accordingly, dealers
are urged to limit the use of this listing to the follow-up necessary to complete this campaign. If
none of the affected vehicles are assigned to a dealership, no campaign report will be sent.

OWNER NOTIFICATION

American Isuzu Motors Inc. will notify owners of affected vehicles already retailed by letter (see
enclosed copy). Dealers should follow up with vehicle

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Spark Plug: Description and Operation

Spark Plug Cutaway View


PURPOSE

Spark plugs allow high-voltage secondary current to arc across a small air gap to ignite the air/fuel
mixture in the combustion chamber.

Spark Plug Temperature

HEAT RANGE

The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator, the smaller the heatsink area will be. This causes the spark
plug to be hotter.

The heat range of the plug is determined by its ability to dissipate heat created during combustion.
If too cold a plug is used, the possibility of fouling is increased. A plug that is too hot can cause
preignition. Hotter plugs tend to burn cleaner with less deposit build-up. They can be used for
stop-start city driving, but not for extended high speed or load conditions as engine damage can
occur.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

- Check the electrodes and insulators for cracks. Replace if faulty.

- Check the electrodes for wear and replace as necessary.

- Check the gaskets for damage and replace as necessary.

- Check insulation resistance with an ohmmeter. Replace if defective. SPARK PLUG INSULATION
RESISTANCE

50 M ohms

- Check spark plug gap. Adjust or replace as necessary. SPARK PLUG ELECTRODE GAP

1.05 mm (0.040 in)

- If spark plug fouling is excessive, check fuel and electrical systems for possible causes. If those
systems are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat range.

- If burning of the electrodes or insulator is considerable, install spark plugs of a lower heat range.

SOOTY SPARK PLUGS

If the electrodes and insulators are fouled with carbon or oil, the engine will operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes: -

Rich fuel mixture.

- Retarded ignition timeing.

- Excessive engine wear (oil in cylinders).

- Incorrect plug gap.

BLISTERED OR SCORCHED SPARK PLUGS

This condition is caused by excessive temperature at the spark plug. Common causes are: -

Lean fuel mixture.

- Advanced ignition timing.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

WARRANTY CLAIM INFORMATION

None: This is not a warranty matter (see POSSIBLE CAUSE).

Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

SB00-01-S009 > Sep > 00 > Engine Valve Train - Ticking Noise > Page 1296
6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL - BASED ENGINE COOLANT (Supersedes SB94-14-005)

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu passenger, sport utility, and light truck models.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Isuzu has determined that propylene glycol-based engine coolants, such as Safe Brands' Sierra
engine coolant, will perform adequately under most vehicle operating conditions. As a result,
propylene glycol-based engine coolants may be used in Isuzu vehicles.

A few important points to remember regarding propylene glycol-based engine coolants:

^ Freeze/boil point levels for propylene glycol are different than for ethylene glycol.

^ To accurately determine the freeze/boil protection level, it is imperative that the coolants not be
mixed.

^ Prior to adding propylene glycol engine coolant to the cooling system, all ethylene glycol coolant
must be removed.

^ When changing the coolant to propylene glycol, be certain to thoroughly flush the heater core and
block as well as the radiator.

PROPYLENE GLYCOL-BASED ENGINE COOLANT WARNING

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu passenger and light duty models.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Some new propylene glycol-based engine coolants, such as Safe Brands' Sierra engine coolant,
have recently been marketed in the automotive service industry as "environmentally safe"
alternatives to conventional ethylene glycol-based engine coolants.

Propylene glycol-based engine coolants are not approved by Isuzu for use in Isuzu vehicles.

Propylene glycol-based engine coolants do not meet Isuzu engine coolant specifications. Use of
propylene glycol-based engine coolants in Isuzu vehicles can cause the following:

^ Reduced heater and defroster performance.

^ Decreased boil protection and freeze protection.

^ Decreased cylinder head heat transfer.

^ Corrosion damage to cooling system metals (if mixed with ethylene glycol-based engine coolant).

Engine Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

ECT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides engine temperature information to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V signal to the sensor and measures voltage variation. By measuring this
variation, the ECM measures coolant temperature. This input is a factor in calculations involving
most ECM controlled systems.
CONSTRUCTION

The coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor (a device whose resistance changes with
temperature) mounted in the engine cooling system. Low temperature produces high resistance
(100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F) while high temperature produces low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C /
266°F).

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation

Inputs And Outputs

PURPOSE

Control unit of fuel injection system.

OPERATION

It constantly looks at information from various sensors, and controls systems that affect vehicle
performance. The Engine Control Module (ECM) also performs diagnostic function of system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert driver through "Check Engine" light, and store a code or
codes which identify problem areas to aid technician in making repairs.

ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches and controls output circuits
such as fuel injectors, Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, A/C clutch relay, etc. by controlling ground circuit
through transistors or a "quad-driver".

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection
IMPORTANT NOTE!

The Engine Control Module (ECM) is a highly efficient component and replacement is rarely
needed. ECM failure is usually caused by another component. If an ECM is found to be faulty, be
sure to inspect all input and output circuits prior to installation of the the new ECM. Installing a new
ECM without correcting another possible problem will cause repeated ECM failure.

ECM TESTING

The ECM is a transistorized computer component. There are no specific testing procedures.
Diagnostic codes 51 indicate a faulty ECM or EEPROM. If this code is present, check that all ECM
connections are good, clear memory and recheck. If code 51 reappears, replace the ECM.

Always think of the ECM as the last possible source of a problem. Rarely do they fail.

Fuel Pump Circuit

PURPOSE

Allows the ECM control over fuel pump operation.

Fuel Pump Relay Connector

LOCATION

In the fuse/relay center, in the engine compartment.


OPERATION

When ignition is switched "RUN" position (engine not running), ECM energizes fuel pump relay for
two seconds, causing fuel pump to pressurize fuel system. If ECM does not receive ignition
reference pulses (engine cranking or running) within two seconds, it will de-energize relay, stopping
fuel pump.

After the engine starts, the ECM uses the signal from the electronic ignition module to determine if
the engine is running. If the signal is interrupted, the ECM will not energize the fuel pump. This
prevents the fuel from operating when the engine is not running.

Circuit Description

When the ignition switch is turned "ON", the Engine Control Module (ECM) will activate the fuel
pump relay and operate the in tank fuel pump. The fuel pump will operate as long as the engine is
cranking or running and the ECM is receiving ignition reference pulses. If there are no reference
pulses, the ECM will shut "OFF" the fuel pump within 2 seconds after key "ON".

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1. Checks for the presence Battery Position Voltage at switching portion of fuel pump relay.

2. Checks circuit between fuel pump relay and ground (including the fuel pump).

3. This test will confirm if voltage is available to the relay coil.

Diagnostic Aids

A visual inspection of wiring and connectors should be made if an intermittent problem exists. For
more information refer to Computers and Control Systems.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

MAT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with intake air temperature. The ECM uses this
information to determine air density.

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V reference signal to the sensor and by measuring the voltage change can
determine the manifold air temperature.

Low temperature results in high resistance (100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F); high temperature results
in low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C / 266°F).

IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing and delays EGR when intake air is cold.

A failure in Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit should set a Code 23.

CONSTRUCTION

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor is a thermistor (resistor) whose resistance value varies in
relation to the temperature of air entering the engine.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation

MAP Sensor

PURPOSE

Measures pressure in the intake manifold.

OPERATION

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold
pressure which result from engine load and speed changes, and converts this to a voltage output.
A closed throttle on engine coast down would produce a relatively low MAP output, while a Wide
Open Throttle would produce a high output. MAP is the OPPOSITE of what would be measured on
a vacuum gage. When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low. The MAP sensor is also used to
measure BAROMETRIC PRESSURE under contain conditions, which allows the ECM to
automatically adjust for different altitudes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5 volts
reference signal to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the electrical resistance of
the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the manifold
pressure. A higher pressure, low vacuum (high voltage) requires more fuel, while a lower pressure,
higher vacuum (low voltage) requires less fuel.

A failure in the MAP sensor circuit should set a DTC 33. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 33

Chart C-1D MAP Sensor Output Voltage Check

Circuit Description

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and revolution per minute changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output voltage
will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4 -
4.8 at Wide Open Throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, allowing the ECM to make adjustment for different altitudes. The ECM
uses the MAP sensor to control fuel delivery and ignition timing.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart. NOTE Be sure to use the same
Diagnostic Test Equipment for all measurements.

1. When comparing "Scan tool" readings to a known good vehicle, it is important to compare
vehicle that use a MAP sensor having the same color insert or having the same "Hot Stamped"
number.

2. Applying 34 kPa (10" hydragyrum) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be
1.5-2.1 volts than the voltage at Step 1. Upon applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in
voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a faulty sensor.

3. Check vacuum hose to sensor for leaking or restriction. Be sure that no other vacuum devices
are connected the MAP hose.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

HO2S

PURPOSE

The oxygen (O2) sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. The ECM monitors the
sensor to maintain air/fuel mixture of 14.7 to 1.

OPERATION

The oxygen sensor monitors atmospheric air versus exhaust gas oxygen content to produce a
voltage output. This voltage ranges from approximately 0.1 volt (high oxygen-lean mixture) to 0.9
volt (low oxygen-rich mixture). By monitoring the oxygen sensor output voltage, the computer can
determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and adjust the air/fuel mixture accordingly, this
is known as "CLOSED LOOP" operation.

When the sensor is cold it is like an open circuit and produces no voltage below 600°F (315°C). An
open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes "OPEN LOOP" operation.

The heated oxygen sensor works in the same manner as the non-heated oxygen sensor. The
exception is that B+ is supplied to a heating unit that is part of the sensor itself. This heater
receives voltage from the generator charging circuit. The heater helps the ECM control the fuel
injection sooner for better fuel emissions. There are no malfunction Codes to detect if the heater
part of the sensor is working.

heat-up on its own.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart. The following test procedures
are for the heater part of the HO2S. No malfunction Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) will be logged
if the heater fails to function properly.

1. This will verify that battery positive voltage is present for the heater.

2. This check will test the ground circuit to the heater.

3. This test the heater element resistance. Resistance will vary with the temperature of the sensor.
Normal resistance is between 3.5 - 14.3 ohms.

Diagnostic Aids

^ A poor or loose connection at the HO2S could result in a false DTC being set or the C2 heater
not functioning properly.

^ A shorted HO2S heater could cause a DTC 13 to set.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Specifications > Page
1531
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.
Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.

2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.
Cycling Circuit Breaker

The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1552
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color
FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1553

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.
Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link
Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1555
Step 2: Cut the Wire
Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Information and Instructions > Page 1556
Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp
Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 1557
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping
Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches - Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches - Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1558

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence


Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve

Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair
Fig. 22 Terminal Repair

The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with vehicle speed information.

OPERATION

The ECM applies and monitors a 12V signal to the sensor. When the drive wheels are turning, the
sensor alternately grounds the circuit, creating a pulsing action. The ECM calculates vehicle speed
based on the time between pulses. This sensor is used to help control the operation of the idle air
control system

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Switches - Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Specifications > Page
1572
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection
A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code
Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Spark Plug: Description and Operation

Spark Plug Cutaway View


PURPOSE

Spark plugs allow high-voltage secondary current to arc across a small air gap to ignite the air/fuel
mixture in the combustion chamber.

Spark Plug Temperature

HEAT RANGE

The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator, the smaller the heatsink area will be. This causes the spark
plug to be hotter.

The heat range of the plug is determined by its ability to dissipate heat created during combustion.
If too cold a plug is used, the possibility of fouling is increased. A plug that is too hot can cause
preignition. Hotter plugs tend to burn cleaner with less deposit build-up. They can be used for
stop-start city driving, but not for extended high speed or load conditions as engine damage can
occur.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

- Check the electrodes and insulators for cracks. Replace if faulty.

- Check the electrodes for wear and replace as necessary.

- Check the gaskets for damage and replace as necessary.

- Check insulation resistance with an ohmmeter. Replace if defective. SPARK PLUG INSULATION
RESISTANCE

50 M ohms

- Check spark plug gap. Adjust or replace as necessary. SPARK PLUG ELECTRODE GAP

1.05 mm (0.040 in)

- If spark plug fouling is excessive, check fuel and electrical systems for possible causes. If those
systems are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat range.

- If burning of the electrodes or insulator is considerable, install spark plugs of a lower heat range.

SOOTY SPARK PLUGS

If the electrodes and insulators are fouled with carbon or oil, the engine will operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes: -

Rich fuel mixture.

- Retarded ignition timeing.

- Excessive engine wear (oil in cylinders).

- Incorrect plug gap.

BLISTERED OR SCORCHED SPARK PLUGS

This condition is caused by excessive temperature at the spark plug. Common causes are: -

Lean fuel mixture.

- Advanced ignition timing.

- Incorrect plug gap.

- Incorrect plug heat range.

TICKING SOUND FROM HYDRAULIC VALVETRAIN (Supersedes SB00-01-S002)

NOTE:

This service bulletin is being revised to update parts information.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.
NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

Service Procedure
1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.
15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

Service Procedure

1. Drain the engine oil, replace the oil filter with a Genuine Isuzu oil filter, and refill the crankcase
with 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil.

2. With the engine warm, run it at 2,500 rpm for 30 minutes.

^ If the ticking noise goes away, return the vehicle to the customer.

^ If the ticking noise persists, proceed with step 3.

3. Let the motor run at idle and use a stethoscope or Steel screwdriver to determine which bank is
noisy. Once you have determined the location, turn the key off. (Figure 1)

4. Remove the cylinder head cover on the noisy bank.

5. Inspect each rocker arm for clearance at the valve (when the rocker is on the base circle of the
cam and the valve is closed). The noisy rocker arms are the ones with clearance. (Figure 2)

NOTE:

Each cylinder head has one oil pressure relief valve that controls oil pressure to its rocker arms. If
all rocker arms on one cylinder head have clearance and/or the rocker arm pivot shaft is worn, then
the cylinder head oil pressure relief valve may be stuck open. In this case, refer to the appropriate
Workshop Manual for additional troubleshooting procedures.

6. Remove the ticking rocker arm assembly, and inspect the wear pattern of the hydraulic lash
adjuster surface that contacts the valve stem (the intake rocker arm is located under the camshafts,
which require timing belt removal).

7. Carefully remove the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster(s) from the Rocker Arms using your fingers.
(Figure 4)

IMPORTANT:

Do not damage the O-Ring on the outside of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster, or you will have to
replace the entire rocker arm (the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster cannot be ordered separately). When
replacing an exhaust rocker arm, replace its intermediate rocker arm too.

8. Insert a paper clip into the hole at the top of the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster and depress the spring
loaded check ball, while completely pushing in the piston at the opposite end. Some traces of oil
may come out of the check ball hole. (Figure 5)

9. Carefully remove and retain the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring. Spray the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster piston with carburetor cleaner to remove any varnish (while holding the piston in). (Figure
6)

10. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in new cleaning solvent; (while depressing the check
ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow the cleaning solvent to penetrate through the Hydraulic
Lash Adjuster. (Figure 7)

11. Submerge the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster in clean 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, (while
depressing the check ball) pump the piston repeatedly to allow 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil
to penetrate through the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster. Then allow the piston to extend fully, to fill the

Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with oil.

12. Reinstall the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster O-Ring.

13. Lube the Rocker Arm bore that houses the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster with 0W-30 Mobil 1
synthetic engine oil, then push the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster back into place.

14. Inspect for leaks at the check ball and piston by attempting to compress the Hydraulic Lash
Adjuster without depressing the check ball (The Hydraulic Lash Adjuster should not leak or
compress).

NOTE:

Oil filled Hydraulic Lash Adjuster will hold its valve off the seat for several crank revolutions. This
may cause the engine to run rough for a short period after starting. To prevent this, select one
cylinder and bleed some oil off the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (depress the Check Ball and compress
the piston 1/4 of the way down). This will allow the valve to close. Do not remove all of the oil or the
valves spring and cam will collapse the Hydraulic Lash Adjuster permanently.

15. Reassemble the engine using new cylinder head cover gasket (see Parts Information) and
apply some gasket seal at the corners where the cam tower gasket and cylinder meet. Torque the
Cylinder head cover bolts to 8 Nm (69 lb. in) using hand tools only.

16. Start the engine and listen for noise.

17. Remind the customer, "More frequent oil changes can prevent varnish accumulation." Also
recommend to use minimum oil rating of: API Service SG, but SJ is preferred.

AFFECTED VEHICLES

Some 1997 and earlier Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) V6 models

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: The above affected vehicles may exhibit a condition of ticking sounds coming from the
valvetrain during normal operation.

Possible Cause: One or more hydraulic lash adjusters do not fully extend due to varnish build-up
inside. This condition results from exceeding the required oil and filter change intervals. Severe
driving conditions require more frequent oil and filter changes. (Refer to appropriate Owner's
Manual or Workshop Manual for details.)

Correction: A typical repair for the condition may involve the replacement of the affected rocker
arm(s), and rocker shaft(s). However, follow the information in this bulletin to perform an oil/filter
change using 0W-30 Mobil 1 synthetic engine oil, prior to replacing any valvetrain component.

NOTE:

Although the current recommended engine oil for these engines is 10W-30 API SJ, the 0W-30
synthetic engine oil allows air in the hydraulic lash adjusters to bleed out quickly and removes the
varnish that is preventing hydraulic lash adjuster piston travel.

Intake Air Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation

MAT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with intake air temperature. The ECM uses this
information to determine air density.

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V reference signal to the sensor and by measuring the voltage change can
determine the manifold air temperature.

Low temperature results in high resistance (100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F); high temperature results
in low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C / 266°F).

IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing and delays EGR when intake air is cold.

A failure in Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit should set a Code 23.

CONSTRUCTION

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor is a thermistor (resistor) whose resistance value varies in
relation to the temperature of air entering the engine.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

EGR Backpressure Transducer: Description and Operation

Back Pressure Transducer

PURPOSE

Uses exhaust pressure to regulate the vacuum signal to the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
valve.

OPERATION

Under a low load condition such as low speed driving, the exhaust pressure is low. In this state, the
diaphragm in the EGR BPT is pushed down by the spring force and the Back Pressure Transducer
(BPT) valve opens to allow the air into the vacuum passage from the outside.

As a result, the vacuum transmitted to the EGR valve becomes smaller and so does the opening of
the EGR valve.

Thus, less amount of exhaust gas is recirculated to the intake manifold.

Under a high load condition such as high speed driving, on the other hand, the exhaust pressure is
high. By the high exhaust pressure, the diaphragm in the BPT is pushed up and closes its valve. As
the air does not enter the vacuum passage in this state, the vacuum transmitted to the EGR valve
grows larger and so does the opening of the EGR valve.

Thus, larger amount of exhaust gas is recirculated to the intake manifold.

Engine Control Module: Description and Operation

Inputs And Outputs

PURPOSE

Control unit of fuel injection system.

OPERATION

It constantly looks at information from various sensors, and controls systems that affect vehicle
performance. The Engine Control Module (ECM) also performs diagnostic function of system. It
can recognize operational problems, alert driver through "Check Engine" light, and store a code or
codes which identify problem areas to aid technician in making repairs.

ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches and controls output circuits
such as fuel injectors, Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, A/C clutch relay, etc. by controlling ground circuit
through transistors or a "quad-driver".

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The Engine Control Module (ECM) is a highly efficient component and replacement is rarely
needed. ECM failure is usually caused by another component. If an ECM is found to be faulty, be
sure to inspect all input and output circuits prior to installation of the the new ECM. Installing a new
ECM without correcting another possible problem will cause repeated ECM failure.

ECM TESTING

The ECM is a transistorized computer component. There are no specific testing procedures.
Diagnostic codes 51 indicate a faulty ECM or EEPROM. If this code is present, check that all ECM
connections are good, clear memory and recheck. If code 51 reappears, replace the ECM.

Always think of the ECM as the last possible source of a problem. Rarely do they fail.

Idle Air Control Valve: Description and Operation

IAC Valve

PURPOSE

Allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) control over idle speed.

OPERATION

The Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve is activated by the ECM to control engine idle speed while
preventing stalls due to changes in engine load. The valve is mounted in the intake manifold to
regulate the amount of bypass air around the throttle valve. The ECM sends voltage pulses to IAC
motor windings, causing IAC valve pintle to move in or out a given distance (a step or count) for
each pulse, as needed to obtain the desired idle speed.

During idle, proper IAC valve position is "learned" by the ECM based on battery voltage, coolant
temperature and engine rpm. If the position is incorrect, the ECM will command a reset which will
occur when vehicle speed is about 30 mph.

If rpm drops below a specified value and the throttle is closed, the ECM senses a near stall
condition and will calculate a new valve position to prevent stalling.

Idle Air Control Valve: Testing and Inspection

Chart C-2C IAC System Check


Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls engine idle speed with idler air control (IAC) valve. To
increase idle speed, the ECM retracts the IAC valve pintle away from its seat, allowing more air to
bypass the throttle bore. To decrease idle speed, it extends the IAC valve pintle towards its seat,
reducing bypass air flow. A "Scan tool" will read the ECM commands to the IAC valve in counts.
Higher counts indicate more air bypass (higher idle). Lower counts indicate less air is allowed to
bypass (lower idle).

Test Description

Number below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1. The IAC tester is used to extend and retract the IAC valve. Valve movement is verified by a
engine speed change. If no change in engine speed occurs, the valve can be retested when
removed from the throttle body.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Idle Air Control Valve <--> [Idle
Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic] > Component Information > Specifications > Page 1763
2. This step checks the quality of the IAC movement in step 1. Between 700 revolution per minute
(rpm) and about 1500 rpm, the engine speed should change smoothly with each flash of the tester
light in both extend and retract. If the IAC valve is retracted beyond the control range (about 1500
rpm), it may take many flashes in the extend position before engine speed will begin to drop. This
is normal on certain engines, fully extending IAC may cause engine stall. This may be normal.

3. Steps 1 and 2 verified proper IAC valve operation. This step checks the IAC circuits. Each lamp
on the node light should flash red and green while the IAC valve is cycled. While the sequence of
color is not important if either light "OFF" or does not flash red and green, check the circuits for
faults, beginning with poor terminal contacts.

Diagnostic Aids

A slow, unstable, or fast idle may be caused by a non-IAC system problem that cannot overcome
by the IAC valve. Out of control range IAC "Scan tool" counts will be above 60 if idle is too low, and
zero counts If Idle is too high. The following checks should be made to repair a non-IAC system
problem.

Vacuum Leak (High Idle) If idle is too high, stop the engine. Fully extend (low) IAC with tester. Start
engine. If idle speed is above 800 rpm, locate and correct vacuum leak including PCV system. Also
check for binding of throttle blade or linkage.

Lean heated oxygen sensor signal (High Air/Fuel Ratio) The idle speed may be too high or too low.
Engine speed may vary up and down and disconnecting the AC valve does not help. Diagnostic
trouble code 44 may be set. "Scan tool" oxygen (02) voltage will be less than 100 mV (.1 volt).
Check for low regulated fuel pressure, water in fuel, or a restricted injector.

Rich heated oxygen sensor signal (Low Air/Fuel Ratio) The idle speed will be too low. "Scan tool"
IAC counts will usually be above 80. System is obviously rich and may exhibit black smoke in
exhaust. "Scan tool" O2 voltage will be fixed about 750 mV (.75 volt). Check for high fuel pressure,
leaking or sticking Injector. Silicon contaminated heated oxygen sensor will "Scan tool" an O2
voltage slow to respond.

Throttle Body Remove IAC valve and inspect bore for foreign material.

IAC Valve Electrical Connections IAC valve connections should be carefully checked for proper
contact.

PCV Valve An incorrect or faulty PCV valve may result in an incorrect idle speed.

If intermittent poor driveability or idle symptoms are resolved by disconnecting the IAC, carefully
recheck connections, valve terminal resistance, or replace IAC.

REMOVAL

Preparation: ^Battery negative cable.

1. Idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector 2. IAC valve attaching screw 3. IAC valve
assembly

On IAC valves that have been in service: Do not push or pull on the IAC valve pintle. The force
required to move the pintle may damage the threads on the worm drive. Also, Do not soak the IAC
valve in any liquid cleaner or solvent, as damage may result.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

^ Clean IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, pintle valve seat and air passage.

- Use carburetor cleaner and a parts cleaning brush to remove carbon deposits. Do Not use a
cleaner that contains methyl ethyl ketone. It is an extremely strong solvent, and not necessary for
this type of deposit.

- Shiny spots on the pintle or seat are normal, and do not indicate misalignment or a bent pintle
shaft.

- If air passage has heavy deposits, remove throttle body for complete cleaning.

^ Inspect IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks or distortion. Replace if damaged.

CAUTION: If installing a new IAC valve, be sure to replace it with an identical part. IAC valve pintle
shape and diameter are designed for the specific application.

IAC Valve

INSTALLATION

If installing a new IAC valve, measure the distance from the tip of the IAC pintle to the mounting
flange. If it is greater than 28 mm, use finger pressure to slowly retract the pintle. The force
required to retract the pintle of a "New Valve" will not cause damage to the valve.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Illuminates when a influencing occurs that will affect emission control performance. Flashes trouble
codes (DTC) during testing operations.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

When the system detects a fault in a monitored component and/or circuit, the light will come on and
stay on (while the engine is running), alerting the driver to seek service. With intermittent problems,
the light may come on and then go out, but a trouble code will be stored in ECM memory if correct
parameters are met. The technician can then extract trouble codes from the ECM that will aid in the
diagnosis and repair.

Another function of the "Check Engine" light is Field Service Mode. When the diagnostic terminal is
grounded with the engine running, the system will enter this mode and indicate whether it is in
"Open Loop" or "Closed Loop." If in "Open Loop," the "Check Engine" light flashes two and one-half
times per second. In "Closed Loop," the light flashes once per second.

In "Closed Loop", the light will stay "OFF" most of the time if the system is running too lean. It will
stay "ON" most of the time if the system is too rich.

While in Field Service Mode, new trouble codes cannot be stored in the ECM memory and the
"Closed Loop" timer is bypassed.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation

MAP Sensor

PURPOSE

Measures pressure in the intake manifold.

OPERATION

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold
pressure which result from engine load and speed changes, and converts this to a voltage output.
A closed throttle on engine coast down would produce a relatively low MAP output, while a Wide
Open Throttle would produce a high output. MAP is the OPPOSITE of what would be measured on
a vacuum gage. When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low. The MAP sensor is also used to
measure BAROMETRIC PRESSURE under contain conditions, which allows the ECM to
automatically adjust for different altitudes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5 volts
reference signal to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the electrical resistance of
the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the manifold
pressure. A higher pressure, low vacuum (high voltage) requires more fuel, while a lower pressure,
higher vacuum (low voltage) requires less fuel.

A failure in the MAP sensor circuit should set a DTC 33. See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 33

Chart C-1D MAP Sensor Output Voltage Check

Circuit Description

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and revolution per minute changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output voltage
will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4 -
4.8 at Wide Open Throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, allowing the ECM to make adjustment for different altitudes. The ECM
uses the MAP sensor to control fuel delivery and ignition timing.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart. NOTE Be sure to use the same
Diagnostic Test Equipment for all measurements.

1. When comparing "Scan tool" readings to a known good vehicle, it is important to compare
vehicle that use a MAP sensor having the same color insert or having the same "Hot Stamped"
number.

2. Applying 34 kPa (10" hydragyrum) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be
1.5-2.1 volts than the voltage at Step 1. Upon applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in
voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a faulty sensor.

3. Check vacuum hose to sensor for leaking or restriction. Be sure that no other vacuum devices
are connected the MAP hose.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

HO2S

PURPOSE

The oxygen (O2) sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. The ECM monitors the
sensor to maintain air/fuel mixture of 14.7 to 1.

OPERATION

The oxygen sensor monitors atmospheric air versus exhaust gas oxygen content to produce a
voltage output. This voltage ranges from approximately 0.1 volt (high oxygen-lean mixture) to 0.9
volt (low oxygen-rich mixture). By monitoring the oxygen sensor output voltage, the computer can
determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and adjust the air/fuel mixture accordingly, this
is known as "CLOSED LOOP" operation.

When the sensor is cold it is like an open circuit and produces no voltage below 600°F (315°C). An
open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes "OPEN LOOP" operation.

The heated oxygen sensor works in the same manner as the non-heated oxygen sensor. The
exception is that B+ is supplied to a heating unit that is part of the sensor itself. This heater
receives voltage from the generator charging circuit. The heater helps the ECM control the fuel
injection sooner for better fuel emissions. There are no malfunction Codes to detect if the heater
part of the sensor is working.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

ECM supplies either 5 or 12 volts to power various sensors or switches and controls output circuits
such as fuel injectors, Idle Air Control (IAC) valve, A/C clutch relay, etc. by controlling ground circuit
through transistors or a "quad-driver".

Engine Control Module: Testing and Inspection

IMPORTANT NOTE!

The Engine Control Module (ECM) is a highly efficient component and replacement is rarely
needed. ECM failure is usually caused by another component. If an ECM is found to be faulty, be
sure to inspect all input and output circuits prior to installation of the the new ECM. Installing a new
ECM without correcting another possible problem will cause repeated ECM failure.

ECM TESTING

The ECM is a transistorized computer component. There are no specific testing procedures.
Diagnostic codes 51 indicate a faulty ECM or EEPROM. If this code is present, check that all ECM
connections are good, clear memory and recheck. If code 51 reappears, replace the ECM.

Always think of the ECM as the last possible source of a problem. Rarely do they fail.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

Engine Coolant Temperature Sensor

ECT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides engine temperature information to the Engine Control Module (ECM).

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V signal to the sensor and measures voltage variation. By measuring this
variation, the ECM measures coolant temperature. This input is a factor in calculations involving
most ECM controlled systems.
CONSTRUCTION

The coolant temperature sensor is a thermistor (a device whose resistance changes with
temperature) mounted in the engine cooling system. Low temperature produces high resistance
(100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F) while high temperature produces low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C /
266°F).

MAT Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with intake air temperature. The ECM uses this
information to determine air density.

OPERATION

The ECM supplies a 5V reference signal to the sensor and by measuring the voltage change can
determine the manifold air temperature.

Low temperature results in high resistance (100K ohms at -40°C / -40°F); high temperature results
in low resistance (70 ohms at 130°C / 266°F).

IAT sensor is also used to control spark timing and delays EGR when intake air is cold.

A failure in Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor circuit should set a Code 23.

CONSTRUCTION

The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Sensor is a thermistor (resistor) whose resistance value varies in
relation to the temperature of air entering the engine.

Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor: Description and Operation

MAP Sensor

PURPOSE

Measures pressure in the intake manifold.

OPERATION

The Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake manifold
pressure which result from engine load and speed changes, and converts this to a voltage output.
A closed throttle on engine coast down would produce a relatively low MAP output, while a Wide
Open Throttle would produce a high output. MAP is the OPPOSITE of what would be measured on
a vacuum gage. When manifold pressure is high, vacuum is low. The MAP sensor is also used to
measure BAROMETRIC PRESSURE under contain conditions, which allows the ECM to
automatically adjust for different altitudes. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5 volts
reference signal to the MAP sensor. As the manifold pressure changes, the electrical resistance of
the sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the manifold
pressure. A higher pressure, low vacuum (high voltage) requires more fuel, while a lower pressure,
higher vacuum (low voltage) requires less fuel.

A failure in the MAP sensor circuit should set a DTC 33. See: Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic
Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 33

Chart C-1D MAP Sensor Output Voltage Check

Circuit Description

Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor measures the changes in the intake MAP which result
from engine load (intake manifold vacuum) and revolution per minute changes; and converts these
into a voltage output. The Engine Control Module (ECM) sends a 5-volt reference voltage to the
MAP sensor. As the MAP changes, the output voltage of the sensor also changes. By monitoring
the sensor output voltage, the ECM knows the MAP. A lower pressure (low voltage) output voltage
will be about 1 - 2 volts at idle. While higher pressure (high voltage) output voltage will be about 4 -
4.8 at Wide Open Throttle. The MAP sensor is also used, under certain conditions, to measure
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE, allowing the ECM to make adjustment for different altitudes. The ECM
uses the MAP sensor to control fuel delivery and ignition timing.

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart. NOTE Be sure to use the same
Diagnostic Test Equipment for all measurements.

1. When comparing "Scan tool" readings to a known good vehicle, it is important to compare
vehicle that use a MAP sensor having the same color insert or having the same "Hot Stamped"
number.

2. Applying 34 kPa (10" hydragyrum) vacuum to the MAP sensor should cause the voltage to be
1.5-2.1 volts than the voltage at Step 1. Upon applying vacuum to the sensor, the change in
voltage should be instantaneous. A slow voltage change indicates a faulty sensor.

3. Check vacuum hose to sensor for leaking or restriction. Be sure that no other vacuum devices
are connected the MAP hose.

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation

HO2S

PURPOSE

The oxygen (O2) sensor measures the oxygen content of the exhaust. The ECM monitors the
sensor to maintain air/fuel mixture of 14.7 to 1.

OPERATION

The oxygen sensor monitors atmospheric air versus exhaust gas oxygen content to produce a
voltage output. This voltage ranges from approximately 0.1 volt (high oxygen-lean mixture) to 0.9
volt (low oxygen-rich mixture). By monitoring the oxygen sensor output voltage, the computer can
determine the amount of oxygen in the exhaust gas and adjust the air/fuel mixture accordingly, this
is known as "CLOSED LOOP" operation.

When the sensor is cold it is like an open circuit and produces no voltage below 600°F (315°C). An
open sensor circuit or cold sensor causes "OPEN LOOP" operation.

The heated oxygen sensor works in the same manner as the non-heated oxygen sensor. The
exception is that B+ is supplied to a heating unit that is part of the sensor itself. This heater
receives voltage from the generator charging circuit. The heater helps the ECM control the fuel
injection sooner for better fuel emissions. There are no malfunction Codes to detect if the heater
part of the sensor is working.

varying voltage to be produced by the HO2S more rapidly instead of waiting for the HO2S to
heat-up on its own.

Test Description

Number(s) below refer to circled number(s) on the diagnostic chart. The following test procedures
are for the heater part of the HO2S. No malfunction Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) will be logged
if the heater fails to function properly.

1. This will verify that battery positive voltage is present for the heater.

2. This check will test the ground circuit to the heater.

3. This test the heater element resistance. Resistance will vary with the temperature of the sensor.
Normal resistance is between 3.5 - 14.3 ohms.

Diagnostic Aids

^ A poor or loose connection at the HO2S could result in a false DTC being set or the C2 heater
not functioning properly.

^ A shorted HO2S heater could cause a DTC 13 to set.

compensate for additional engine load by adjusting idle air control valve and switching OFF A/C
compressor when high pressures are detected.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Specifications > Page 1875
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.
Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids
Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.

2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

Instructions > Page 1892

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.
Cycling Circuit Breaker

The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Instructions > Page 1896
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color
FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Instructions > Page 1897

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.
Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link
Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches -
Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1899
Step 2: Cut the Wire
Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp
Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping
Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Sensors and Switches -
Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 1902

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence


Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve

Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with vehicle speed information.

OPERATION

The ECM applies and monitors a 12V signal to the sensor. When the drive wheels are turning, the
sensor alternately grounds the circuit, creating a pulsing action. The ECM calculates vehicle speed
based on the time between pulses. This sensor is used to help control the operation of the idle air
control system

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 1915
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Testing and
Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC
21

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Vehicle Speed Sensor: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Finding A Short Circuit

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1939
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1942

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Computers and Control Systems > Vehicle Speed Sensor >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1943
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

Evaporative Vacuum Diagram

PURPOSE

Allows ECM to control when canister purge operation occurs.

OPERATION

Evaporate emission canister purge is controlled by a solenoid that allows manifold and/or ported
vacuum to purge the canister when energized. The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a
ground to energize the solenoid (purge "ON"). The purge solenoid control by the ECM is turned
"ON" or "OFF" under specific engine conditions. The purge solenoid is turned "ON" when all of the
following conditions are met. ^

Data link connector is ungrounded.

^ Engine run time after start more than 20 seconds.

^ Engine coolant temperature above 60'C.

^ Vehicle speed is above 9 miles per hour.

Also, if the diagnostic test terminal is grounded with the engine stopped, the purge solenoid is
energized (purge "ON").

Chart C-3 Canister Purge Valve Check

Circuit Description

Evaporate emission canister purge is controlled by a solenoid that allows manifold and/or ported
vacuum to purge the canister when energized. The Engine Control Module (ECM) supplies a
ground to energize the solenoid (purge "ON"). The purge solenoid control by the ECM is turned
"ON" or "OFF" under specific engine conditions. The purge solenoid is turned "ON" when all of the
following conditions are met.

^ Data link connector is ungrounded. ^ Engine run time after start more than 20 seconds. ^ Engine
coolant temperature above 60'C. ^ Vehicle speed is above 9 miles per hour.

Also, if the diagnostic test terminal is grounded with the engine stopped, the purge solenoid is
energized (purge "ON").

Test Description

Numbers below refer to circled number's on the diagnostic chart.

1. Check to see if the solenoid is opened or closed. The solenoid is normally de-energized in this
step, so it should be closed.

2. Checks to determine if solenoid was open due to electrical CKT problem or defective solenoid.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Description and Operation

Fuel Vapor Canister

PURPOSE

Stores fuel vapor until purge operation occurs.

OPERATION

When the Engine Control Module (ECM) energizes the solenoid valve, manifold vacuum draws air
through fitting 2 on the canister. Fresh air being drawn into the bottom of the canister, "flushes"
(purges) the canister of fuel vapors. The vapors flow into the engine and are burned in the
combustion process.

Evaporative Emission Control Canister: Testing and Inspection Results of Incorrect Operation
Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be caused by: ^

Inoperative purge solenoid.

^ Damaged canister.

^ Hoses split, cracked and/or not connected to the proper tubes.

Evidence of fuel loss or fuel vapor odor can be caused by: ^

Liquid fuel leaking from fuel lines, or fuel pump.

^ Cracked or damaged canister.

^ Disconnected, misrouted, kinked, deteriorated or damaged vapor hoses, or control hoses.

If the solenoid is always open, the canister can purge to the intake manifold at all times. This can
allow extra fuel at idle or during warm-up, which can cause rough or unstable idle, or too rich
operation. If the solenoid is always closed, the canister can become over-loaded, resulting in fuel
odor.

EGR Backpressure Transducer: Description and Operation

Back Pressure Transducer

PURPOSE

Uses exhaust pressure to regulate the vacuum signal to the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
valve.

OPERATION

Under a low load condition such as low speed driving, the exhaust pressure is low. In this state, the
diaphragm in the EGR BPT is pushed down by the spring force and the Back Pressure Transducer
(BPT) valve opens to allow the air into the vacuum passage from the outside.

As a result, the vacuum transmitted to the EGR valve becomes smaller and so does the opening of
the EGR valve.

Thus, less amount of exhaust gas is recirculated to the intake manifold.

Under a high load condition such as high speed driving, on the other hand, the exhaust pressure is
high. By the high exhaust pressure, the diaphragm in the BPT is pushed up and closes its valve. As
the air does not enter the vacuum passage in this state, the vacuum transmitted to the EGR valve
grows larger and so does the opening of the EGR valve.

Thus, larger amount of exhaust gas is recirculated to the intake manifold.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.
Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling
STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.

2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.
3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.
Cycling Circuit Breaker

The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color
FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.
Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Solenoid <--> [Exhaust Gas Recirculation] > EGR Vacuum Switching Valve <--> [EGR Control Solenoid] > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2004
Step 2: Cut the Wire
Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp
Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping
Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Solenoid <--> [Exhaust Gas Recirculation] > EGR Vacuum Switching Valve <--> [EGR Control Solenoid] > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2007

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence


Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve

Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable
Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

EGR Valve: Description and Operation

EGR Valve

PURPOSE

Allows a metered amount of exhaust to recycle in to the intake stream.

OPERATION

This valve is controlled by a flexible diaphragm which is spring loaded to hold the valve closed.
Vacuum applied to the top side of the diaphragm overcomes spring pressure and opens the valve
in the exhaust port, allowing exhaust gas into the intake manifold and thus to the cylinders.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR

If Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) passages in the inlet manifold indicate excessive build-up of
deposits, the passages should be cleaned. Care should be taken to ensure that all loose particles
are completely removed, to prevent them from clogging the EGR valve, or from being ingested into
the engine.

Do not wash EGR valve in solvents or de greaser as permanent damage to valve diaphragm may
result. Also, sand blasting of the valve is not recommended, since this can affect the operation of
the valve.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, It is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before servicing the fuel system. Unless this procedure is followed before servicing fuel lines and
connections, fuel spray could occur.

When repair to the fuel system has been completed, Start engine and check all connections that
were loosened for possible leaks.

1. Remove fuel cap 2. Remove fuel pump relay from underhood relay center. 3. Start engine and
allow to stall. 4. Crank engine for additional 30 seconds. 5. Remove negative battery cable.

Service Information

A new class of fuel called TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is appearing at retail stations of some fuel
marketers. This gasoline meets detergency standards developed by four automotive companies.
All vehicles will benefit from using TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline over gasoline containing the
"Lowest Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Those vehicles that have experienced deposit
related concerns may especially benefit from use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline.

Gasoline Brands That Currently Meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards

As of July 1 2006, all grades of the following gasoline brands meet the TOP TIER Detergent
Gasoline Standards:

^ Chevron

Chevron has markets in 29 states in the West, Southwest and South, as well as in Alaska and
Hawaii.

ALL grades of Chevron with Techron gasoline meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Standards.

^ Shell

What is TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is a new class of gasoline with enhanced detergency. It meets new,
voluntary deposit control standards developed by four automotive companies that exceed the
detergent requirements imposed by the EPA.

Where Can TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline Be Purchased?

The TOP TIER program began on May 3, 2004. Some fuel marketers have already joined and
have introduced TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline. This is a voluntary program and not all fuel
marketers will offer this product. Once fuel marketers make public announcements, they will appear
on a list of brands that meet the TOP TIER standards.

Who developed TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards?

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards were developed by four automotive companies: BMW,
General Motors, Honda and Toyota.

Why was TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline developed?

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline was developed to increase the level of detergent additive in
gasoline. The EPA requires that all gasoline sold in the U.S. contain a detergent additive. However,
the requirement is minimal and in many cases, is not sufficient to keep engines clean. In order to
meet TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline standards, a higher level of detergent is needed than what is
required by the EPA. Also, TOP TIER was developed to give fuel marketers the opportunity to
differentiate their product.

What are the benefits of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline?

TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help keep engines cleaner than gasoline containing the "Lowest
Additive Concentration" set by the EPA. Clean engines help provide optimal fuel economy and
performance and reduced emissions. Also, use of TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline will help reduce
deposit related concerns.

Fuel Filler Cap: Description and Operation

Fuel Filler Cap

PURPOSE

Seals the fuel filler inlet, allows air to enter the fuel and, and vents excessive fuel tank pressure

OPERATION

The fuel filler cap has both a vacuum valve and a pressure valve. If a negative pressure develops
in the fuel tank, the ambient valve of the fuel filler cap will open. Ambient air will flow into the fuel
tank through the vacuum valve.

When the development of a positive pressure in the fuel tank exceeds a specific value, the
pressure valve will open and the fuel vapor will escape into the atmosphere. This valve does not
function under normal operating conditions.

Fuel Pressure Release: Service Precautions

WARNING: Adhere to the following procedures any time the fuel system is being worked on in
order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury:

- Keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire extinguisher near the work area.

- Place a "CAUTION FLAMMABLE" sign in the work area.

- Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke, and keep sparks and open flames away.

- Wear eye protection.

- Use caution when working near the catalytic converter to prevent the possibility of burns or fire.
(The temperatures within the converter can exceed 537 degrees C (1000 degrees F).)

- Relieve the fuel system pressure prior to disconnecting fuel system components.

- Disconnect the negative battery cable except for tests where battery voltage is required.

- Use a suitable container to store or catch fuel.

- Do not replace fuel pipe with fuel hose.

- Plug all disconnected fuel line fittings and hoses.

- After making any fuel system repairs ALWAYS inspect for fuel leaks.

- Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings that were removed.

Do not reuse "O" rings. Always replace.

- 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.

NOTE: If available, use system bleed valve (schrader) to relieve pressure.

NYLON FUEL PIPE CAUTIONS: In order to reduce the risk of fire and personal injury observe the
following items:

- Replace all nylon fuel pipes that are nicked, scratched or damaged during installation, do not
attempt to repair the sections of the nylon fuel pipes

- Do not hammer directly on the fuel harness body clips when installing new fuel pipes. Damage to
the nylon pipes may result in a fuel leak.

- Always cover nylon vapor pipes with a wet towel before using a torch near them. Also, never
expose the vehicle to temperatures higher than 115° C (239°F) for more than one hour, or more
than 90°C (194°F) for any extended period.

- Apply a few drops of clean engine oil to the male pipe ends before connecting fuel pipe fittings.
This will ensure proper reconnection and prevent a possible fuel leak. (During normal operation,
the O-rings located in the female connector will swell and may prevent proper reconnection if not
lubricated.)

Fuel Pressure Release: Service and Repair

To reduce the risk of fire and personal injury, It is necessary to relieve the fuel system pressure
before servicing the fuel system. Unless this procedure is followed before servicing fuel lines and
connections, fuel spray could occur.

When repair to the fuel system has been completed, Start engine and check all connections that
were loosened for possible leaks.

1. Remove fuel cap 2. Remove fuel pump relay from underhood relay center. 3. Start engine and
allow to stall. 4. Crank engine for additional 30 seconds. 5. Remove negative battery cable.

Fuel Injector: Description and Operation

Fuel Injector

PURPOSE

Injects a metered amount of highly atomized fuel at the back side of the intake valve.

DESCRIPTION

There are 6 injectors (one for each cylinder), each of which is installed between the cylinder head
and delivery pipe. It injects fuel into the intake port of a single engine cylinder according to the
signal from Engine Control Module (ECM).

CONSTRUCTION

The injector assembly is a high impedance (12.2 ohms) , solenoid-operated, normally closed
injection nozzle.

Fuel Injector

FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION

When the solenoid coil of the injector is energized by ECM, it becomes an electromagnet and
attracts the plunger. This allows fuel to flow past the ball valve, through flow director plate, into
cylinder. As the lift stroke of the ball valve of the injector is set constant, the amount of fuel injected
at one time is determined by the length of time during which the solenoid coil is energized (injection
time).

FUEL INJECTOR DRIVER OPERATION

The method of turning the Fuel Injectors "ON" and "OFF" is called a "Peak" and "Hold" Driver
System.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Injector > Component
Information > Locations > Page 2070
The ECM uses a transistor to "Peak" Injector to open it. A second set of Injector Drivers will "Hold"
the Injectors open for the calculated pulse width. The ECM has three (3) Injector Drivers, they are
labeled A, B, and C inside the ECM. Injector Driver "A" is used to open the Injector initially (Peak)
and depending on available battery positive voltage Injector Drive "B" or "C" is used to "Hold" the
Injector for the amount of time necessary to inject the proper amount of fuel into the cylinder. A
resistor module in part of the Injector Driver circuits to protect the Injector Drivers from high current
(amps). If one of the Driver circuits become "Open" the vehicle will not start. Diagnosis of the
Injector driver circuits are done with Chart A-3 "Cranks But Won't Start". See: Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Lettered
Diagnostic Charts/A - Charts/A-3 ~ Engine Cranks But Will Not Start

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Injector > Component
Information > Locations > Page 2072
The injector balance tester is a tool used to turn the injector on for a precise amount of time, thus
spraying a measured amount of fuel into the manifold. This causes a drop in fuel rail pressure that
we can record and compare between each injector. All injectors should have the same amount of
pressure drop (- 10 kPa). Any injector with a pressure drop that is 10 kPa (or more) greater or less
than the average drop of the other injectors should be considered faulty and replaced.

NOTES:

^ It will be necessary to remove the intake plenum to perform this procedure. Refer to intake
plenum remove procedure in this section. It will also be

necessary to install the Intake Manifold Diagnostic Plate J 39185 to enable the engine to be run
with the plenum removed. Refer to Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air Induction/Intake
Air Plenum/Service and Repair.

^ The entire test should NOT be repeated more than once without running the engine to prevent
flooding. (This includes any retest on faulty

injectors). To run the engine with the intake plenum removed use the Intake Manifold Diagnostic
Plate.

STEP 1

- Engine "cool down" period (10 minutes) is necessary to avoid irregular readings due to "Hot
Soak" fuel boiling. With ignition "OFF" connect fuel

gauge J 347301 or equivalent to fuel pressure tap. Wrap a shop towel around fitting while
connecting gage to avoid fuel spillage. Refer to Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Testing and Inspection/Procedures.

- Disconnect harness connectors at all injectors, and connect injector tester J 34730-3, or
equivalent, to one injector. Follow manufacturers

instructions for use of adaptor harness. Ignition must be "OFF" at least 10 seconds to complete
engine control module shutdown cycle. Fuel pump should run about 2 seconds after ignition is
turned "ON". At this point, insert clear tubing attached to vent valve into a operation. Repeat this
step until all air is bled from gauge.

STEP 2

- Turn ignition "OFF" for 10 seconds and then "ON" again to get fuel pressure to its maximum.
Record this initial pressure reading. Energize tester

one time and note pressure drop at its lowest point (Disregard any slight pressure increase after
drop hits low point). By subtracting this second pressure reading from the initial pressure, we have
the actual amount of injector pressure drop.

STEP 3

- Repeat step 2 on each injector and compare the amount of drop. Usually, good injectors will have
virtually the same drop. Retest any injector that

has a pressure difference of 10 kPa, either more or less than the average of the other injectors on
the engine. Replace any injector that also fails the retest. If the pressure drop of all injectors is
within 10 kPa of this average, the injectors appear to be following properly.

Fuel Pressure Regulator

PURPOSE

It keeps the fuel pressure applied to the injectors between 2.80 - 3.20 kg/cm2 (280 - 320 kPa, 41 -
46 psi) at all times.

OPERATION AND CONSTRUCTION

The fuel pressure regulator is diaphragm-operated relief valve consisting of diaphragm, spring and
valve.

The pressure applied to the chamber "A" of fuel pressure regulator is intake manifold pressure and
that to the chamber "B" is fuel pressure. When the fuel pressure rises more than a predetermined
level higher than the intake manifold pressure, the fuel pushes the valve in the regulator open and
excess fuel returns to the fuel tank via the return line.

OPERATION

When ignition is switched "RUN" position (engine not running), ECM energizes fuel pump relay for
two seconds, causing fuel pump to pressurize fuel system. If ECM does not receive ignition
reference pulses (engine cranking or running) within two seconds, it will de-energize relay, stopping
fuel pump.

After the engine starts, the ECM uses the signal from the electronic ignition module to determine if
the engine is running. If the signal is interrupted, the ECM will not energize the fuel pump. This
prevents the fuel from operating when the engine is not running.

Check and Releif Valve: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Controls fuel and vapor flow to the canister.

OPERATION

When vapor pressure in the tank exceeds 5 kPa (1 in.Hg) the valve opens to allow vapor venting to
the canister. When tank pressure is below the specified value, the valve closes and vapors are
retained in the tank. The valve prevents vacuum build up in the fuel tank and rollover protection to
prevent liquid fuel from entering the canister during normal driving maneuvers.

Idle Air Control Valve: Description and Operation

IAC Valve

PURPOSE

Allows the Engine Control Module (ECM) control over idle speed.

OPERATION

The Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve is activated by the ECM to control engine idle speed while
preventing stalls due to changes in engine load. The valve is mounted in the intake manifold to
regulate the amount of bypass air around the throttle valve. The ECM sends voltage pulses to IAC
motor windings, causing IAC valve pintle to move in or out a given distance (a step or count) for
each pulse, as needed to obtain the desired idle speed.

During idle, proper IAC valve position is "learned" by the ECM based on battery voltage, coolant
temperature and engine rpm. If the position is incorrect, the ECM will command a reset which will
occur when vehicle speed is about 30 mph.

If rpm drops below a specified value and the throttle is closed, the ECM senses a near stall
condition and will calculate a new valve position to prevent stalling.

Idle Air Control Valve: Testing and Inspection

Chart C-2C IAC System Check


Circuit Description

The engine control module (ECM) controls engine idle speed with idler air control (IAC) valve. To
increase idle speed, the ECM retracts the IAC valve pintle away from its seat, allowing more air to
bypass the throttle bore. To decrease idle speed, it extends the IAC valve pintle towards its seat,
reducing bypass air flow. A "Scan tool" will read the ECM commands to the IAC valve in counts.
Higher counts indicate more air bypass (higher idle). Lower counts indicate less air is allowed to
bypass (lower idle).

Test Description

Number below refer to circled numbers on the diagnostic chart.

1. The IAC tester is used to extend and retract the IAC valve. Valve movement is verified by a
engine speed change. If no change in engine speed occurs, the valve can be retested when
removed from the throttle body.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Idle Air Control Valve <--> [Idle
Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic] > Component Information > Specifications > Page 2121
2. This step checks the quality of the IAC movement in step 1. Between 700 revolution per minute
(rpm) and about 1500 rpm, the engine speed should change smoothly with each flash of the tester
light in both extend and retract. If the IAC valve is retracted beyond the control range (about 1500
rpm), it may take many flashes in the extend position before engine speed will begin to drop. This
is normal on certain engines, fully extending IAC may cause engine stall. This may be normal.

3. Steps 1 and 2 verified proper IAC valve operation. This step checks the IAC circuits. Each lamp
on the node light should flash red and green while the IAC valve is cycled. While the sequence of
color is not important if either light "OFF" or does not flash red and green, check the circuits for
faults, beginning with poor terminal contacts.

Diagnostic Aids

A slow, unstable, or fast idle may be caused by a non-IAC system problem that cannot overcome
by the IAC valve. Out of control range IAC "Scan tool" counts will be above 60 if idle is too low, and
zero counts If Idle is too high. The following checks should be made to repair a non-IAC system
problem.

Vacuum Leak (High Idle) If idle is too high, stop the engine. Fully extend (low) IAC with tester. Start
engine. If idle speed is above 800 rpm, locate and correct vacuum leak including PCV system. Also
check for binding of throttle blade or linkage.

Lean heated oxygen sensor signal (High Air/Fuel Ratio) The idle speed may be too high or too low.
Engine speed may vary up and down and disconnecting the AC valve does not help. Diagnostic
trouble code 44 may be set. "Scan tool" oxygen (02) voltage will be less than 100 mV (.1 volt).
Check for low regulated fuel pressure, water in fuel, or a restricted injector.

Rich heated oxygen sensor signal (Low Air/Fuel Ratio) The idle speed will be too low. "Scan tool"
IAC counts will usually be above 80. System is obviously rich and may exhibit black smoke in
exhaust. "Scan tool" O2 voltage will be fixed about 750 mV (.75 volt). Check for high fuel pressure,
leaking or sticking Injector. Silicon contaminated heated oxygen sensor will "Scan tool" an O2
voltage slow to respond.

Throttle Body Remove IAC valve and inspect bore for foreign material.

IAC Valve Electrical Connections IAC valve connections should be carefully checked for proper
contact.

PCV Valve An incorrect or faulty PCV valve may result in an incorrect idle speed.

If intermittent poor driveability or idle symptoms are resolved by disconnecting the IAC, carefully
recheck connections, valve terminal resistance, or replace IAC.

IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) VALVE

REMOVAL

Preparation: ^Battery negative cable.

1. Idle air control (IAC) valve electrical connector 2. IAC valve attaching screw 3. IAC valve
assembly

On IAC valves that have been in service: Do not push or pull on the IAC valve pintle. The force
required to move the pintle may damage the threads on the worm drive. Also, Do not soak the IAC
valve in any liquid cleaner or solvent, as damage may result.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION

^ Clean IAC valve O-ring sealing surface, pintle valve seat and air passage.

- Use carburetor cleaner and a parts cleaning brush to remove carbon deposits. Do Not use a
cleaner that contains methyl ethyl ketone. It is an extremely strong solvent, and not necessary for
this type of deposit.

- Shiny spots on the pintle or seat are normal, and do not indicate misalignment or a bent pintle
shaft.

- If air passage has heavy deposits, remove throttle body for complete cleaning.

^ Inspect IAC valve O-ring for cuts, cracks or distortion. Replace if damaged.

CAUTION: If installing a new IAC valve, be sure to replace it with an identical part. IAC valve pintle
shape and diameter are designed for the specific application.

IAC Valve

INSTALLATION

If installing a new IAC valve, measure the distance from the tip of the IAC pintle to the mounting
flange. If it is greater than 28 mm, use finger pressure to slowly retract the pintle. The force
required to retract the pintle of a "New Valve" will not cause damage to the valve.

Fuel Pump Relay Connector

LOCATION

In the fuse/relay center, in the engine compartment.


OPERATION

When ignition is switched "RUN" position (engine not running), ECM energizes fuel pump relay for
two seconds, causing fuel pump to pressurize fuel system. If ECM does not receive ignition
reference pulses (engine cranking or running) within two seconds, it will de-energize relay, stopping
fuel pump.

After the engine starts, the ECM uses the signal from the electronic ignition module to determine if
the engine is running. If the signal is interrupted, the ECM will not energize the fuel pump. This
prevents the fuel from operating when the engine is not running.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Sensors and Switches - Fuel
Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Specifications > Page 2157
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Throttle Body

PURPOSE

Provides a means to controlling air flow into the engine, thereby controlling engine operation.

CONSTRUCTION

The throttle body consists of the main bore, air bypass passage, vacuum passage for vacuum
operated components and the following parts. -

Throttle valve which is interlocked with the accelerator pedal and controls the amount of the intake
air

- Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) which detects the throttle valve opening and sends a signal to
Engine Control Module (ECM)

- Idle air control valve which controls the amount of air bypassing the throttle valve during idle.

The last three digits of the eight digit identification number are stamped on the TB casting, next to
the throttle stop screw. The part number begins with "17091..." Refer to this number if servicing or

Idle Air Control (IAC) Valve

CLEANING

NOTE: The Throttle Position Sensor and Idle Air Control valve should NOT come in contact with
solvent or cleaner, as they may be damaged.

Be careful when cleaning old gasket material from machined aluminum surfaces. Be sure all
sealing surfaces are clean.

The throttle bore and valve deposits may be cleaned on-vehicle, using carburetor cleaner and a
shop towel. Do not use a cleaner that contains methyl ethyl ketone. It is an extremely strong
solvent, and not necessary for this type of deposit.

The Throttle Body (TB) metal parts may be cleaned following disassembly, in a cold
immersion-type cleaner.

Throttle Body: Service and Repair Minimum Throttle Body Position Check

The minimum throttle body (TB) position (throttle stop Screw) adjustment for the 3.2L should not be
considered the "minimum idle speed", as on other fuel injected engines. Low internal friction and
provision for slight production variations and various operation altitudes resulted in a calibrated
minimum TB position which is too low to allow most engines to idle. The adjustment is preset at the
factory and no further adjustment should be necessary.

If there is a complaint of high idle speed, vacuum leaks should be considered the most likely cause.
Because the Engine Control Module (ECM) "learns" idle IAC, it is even less likely that a stalling
complaint would be due to an incorrect minimum TB position. In either case, the "Symptoms"
Section and IAC valve check CHART C-2C should be referred to. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Lettered Diagnostic
Charts/C - Charts/C-2C ~ Idle Air Control System (IAC)

If it is determined that the minimum TB position is suspect, be sure IAC valve is not "lost" (not
actually at the location indicated by current IAC "counts"). The IAC valve could be "lost" if ECM
power has been interrupted with the ignition "ON", or the IAC valve has been disconnected with the
engine running since last reset, as described previously in this section in the IAC Valve Assembly"
general description.

Minimum Throttle Body (TB) Position

CAUTION

It is extremely unlikely that this adjustment will ever be necessary on a TB that has not been
tampered with after production. If idle revolution per minute is low, you may need to replace the TB
to correct the low idle speed.

The minimum TB position may be checked using the following procedure.

1. Block drive wheels, and apply parking brake. 2. connect Scan tool" to the data link connector. 3.
start engine and allow to reach operating temperature (about 90°C) and Closed Loop. 4. shift to
DRIVE ("D") and then back to neutral

5. Select power steering pressure switch input on "Scan Tool". With air conditioning and all
electrical accessories "OFF", transmission in natural,

"Scan tool" should read "OFF" or "NORMAL. (If not, refer to CHART C-1 E to diagnose and repair
faulty power steering pressure switch circuit before proceeding). Allow idle to stabilize.

6. Select IAC valve display on "Scantool" and read IAC valve Counts. If between 5-45 counts, the
minimum TB position adjustment is acceptable. It

is important to allow idle speed to stabilize to assure correct counts are determined. If counts in
step 6 are too low, check for if intake (vacuum) leaks at hoses, TB and intake manifold or damaged
throttle lever and correct as necessary. Also, refer to CHART C-2C "Diagnostic Aids. See:
Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General
Diagnostics/Lettered Diagnostic Charts/C - Charts/C-2C ~ Idle Air Control System (IAC)

If no vacuum leaks or other cause of excessive air into the intake are found, it may be necessary to
replace the TB to correct the low idle speed problem.

If counts in step 6 are too high, check for damaged throttle lever or airflow restriction by the TB. If
problem is evident, remove inlet air duct at the TB and clean residue from inside of TB bore and
edges of TB using carburetor cleaner and a shop towel. Do Not use a cleaner that contains Methyl
ethyl ketone. It is an extremely strong solvent, and not necessary for this type of deposit. Re-check
"Scan tool" IAC valve counts, per the preceding procedure. If counts are still too high it may be
necessary to replace the IAC valve or the TB assembly, If no vacuum leaks are indicated or engine
loads are present

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Throttle Position Sensor

TPS

PURPOSE

Informs the ECM with throttle valve position information.

OPERATION

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) is a potentiometer connected to the throttle shaft on the throttle
body assembly. TPS electrical circuit consists of a 5 volt supply line and a ground line, both
provided by ECM. By monitoring voltage on this signal line, ECM calculates throttle position. As
throttle valve position is changed, output of TPS also changes. At closed throttle position, TPS
output is low (approximately .5 volt). At wide open throttle, output is high (approximately 4 volts).

A problem in any of the TPS circuits should set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) 21. Once a DTC is
set, the ECM will use an artificial default value for TPS sensor. A high idle will result when DTC 21
is set.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor >
Component Information > Specifications > Page 2186
Throttle Position Sensor: Testing and Inspection

A "Scan tool" displays throttle position in volts. Throttle position sensor (TPS) voltage should read
below 0.85 volts, with throttle closed and ignition "ON", or at idle. Voltage should increase at a
steady rate as throttle is moved toward wide open throttle. The Engine Control Module ( ECM) has
the ability to auto-zero the TPS voltage if it is below about 0.85 volts. This means that any voltage
less than 0.85 volts will be determined by the ECM to be 0% throttle.

Some "Scan tools" have the ability to read the throttle angle and should read 0%, when the throttle
is closed. A failure in the TPS or circuit should set a DTC 21. See: Computers and Control
Systems/Testing and Inspection/Diagnostic Trouble Code Tests and Associated
Procedures/Engine Control System/DTC 21

Electronic Ignition Assembly: Description and Operation

Spark Plug Wire Index

PURPOSE

Provides high voltage necessary to ignite the combustion gas.

OPERATION

The electronic ignition system uses a waste spark method of distribution. For example, in this type
of system the ignition control module triggers the #1-4 coil pair resulting in both #1 and #4 spark
plugs firing at the same time #1 cylinder is on the compression stroke at the same time #4 is on the
exhaust stroke, resulting in a lower energy requirement to fire #4 spark plug. This leaves the
remainder of the high voltage to be used to fire #1 spark plug.

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation

Crankshaft Position Sensor

PURPOSE

Provides information such as firing order and starting timing of each ignition coil.

CONSTRUCTION and OPERATION

The system uses a magnetic Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor which protrudes into the block,
within approximately .050" of the crankshaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel cast on the
crankshaft that has seven machined slots, six of which are equally spaced 60 ° apart. The seventh
slot is spaced 10 ° from one of the other slots. As the reluctor rotates with the crankshaft, the slots
change the magnetic field of the sensor, causing an induced voltage pulse.

By counting the time between pulses, the Ignition Control Module (ICM) can recognize the pulse of
the seventh slot (sync pulse). Based on this sync pulse, the module sends the reference signal to
the Engine Control Module (ECM) to calculate CKP (used to fire coils in correct sequence) and
engine speed.

Description and Operation
Ignition Coil: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Transforms battery voltage into ignition voltage and delivers it in the form of a high voltage surge to
the secondary ignition components.

CONSTRUCTION

The ignition coil contains two sets of copper wire windings around a soft iron core. The primary
winding is made of a hundred or so turns of a heavy gage wire. It is connected to the battery
through the ignition relay. The secondary winding contains several thousand turns of wire wound
directly onto the iron core. The ratio of the number of wraps in the secondary winding to the
number of wraps in the primary windings determines the output voltage of the coil. The secondary
winding is connected to the coil output tower through the iron core.

OPERATION

When current flow in the primary winding is stopped (by the ignitor), the collapse of the magnetic
field causes a voltage to be induced in the secondary windings. Voltage flows out of the coil's
secondary terminal, through the ignition cable, into the spark plug and jumps the electrode gap to
ground causing a spark.

Spark Plug: Description and Operation

Spark Plug Cutaway View


PURPOSE

Spark plugs allow high-voltage secondary current to arc across a small air gap to ignite the air/fuel
mixture in the combustion chamber.

Spark Plug Temperature

HEAT RANGE

The temperature of the spark plug is determined by the length of the insulator and the size of the
heatsink area. The longer the insulator, the smaller the heatsink area will be. This causes the spark
plug to be hotter.

The heat range of the plug is determined by its ability to dissipate heat created during combustion.
If too cold a plug is used, the possibility of fouling is increased. A plug that is too hot can cause
preignition. Hotter plugs tend to burn cleaner with less deposit build-up. They can be used for
stop-start city driving, but not for extended high speed or load conditions as engine damage can
occur.

Spark Plug: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

- Check the electrodes and insulators for cracks. Replace if faulty.

- Check the electrodes for wear and replace as necessary.

- Check the gaskets for damage and replace as necessary.

- Check insulation resistance with an ohmmeter. Replace if defective. SPARK PLUG INSULATION
RESISTANCE

50 M ohms

- Check spark plug gap. Adjust or replace as necessary. SPARK PLUG ELECTRODE GAP

1.05 mm (0.040 in)

- If spark plug fouling is excessive, check fuel and electrical systems for possible causes. If those
systems are normal, install spark plugs of a higher heat range.

- If burning of the electrodes or insulator is considerable, install spark plugs of a lower heat range.

SOOTY SPARK PLUGS

If the electrodes and insulators are fouled with carbon or oil, the engine will operate efficiently.
There are a number of possible causes: -

Rich fuel mixture.

- Retarded ignition timeing.

- Excessive engine wear (oil in cylinders).

- Incorrect plug gap.

BLISTERED OR SCORCHED SPARK PLUGS

This condition is caused by excessive temperature at the spark plug. Common causes are: -

Lean fuel mixture.

- Advanced ignition timing.

- Incorrect plug gap.

- Incorrect plug heat range.

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Shift Light Circuit

PURPOSE

Informs the driver to shift to the next higher gear, to improve economy.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

The light is conyrolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and is turned "ON" by grounding the
ORN/BLU wire. The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light.

The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light: ^

Engine coolant temperature sensor

^ Throttle position sensor

^ Vehicle speed sensor

^ Revolution per minute

The ECM uses the measured revolution per minute and the vehicle speed to calculate what gear
the vehicle is in. It's this calculation that determines when the shift light should be turned "ON".

Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

Transmission Mode Switch: Description and Operation
PURPOSE

Wen switched ON by the driver, this switch tells the TCM to operate the transmission in power
mode. When the switch is OFF, the transmission operates in economy mode.

OPERATION

When in power mode, the TCM delays upshifts, resulting in more powerful acceleration.

Control Module: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on

enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Shift Indicator: Description and Operation

Shift Light Circuit

PURPOSE

Informs the driver to shift to the next higher gear, to improve economy.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

The light is conyrolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and is turned "ON" by grounding the
ORN/BLU wire. The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light.

The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light: ^

Engine coolant temperature sensor

^ Throttle position sensor

^ Vehicle speed sensor

^ Revolution per minute

The ECM uses the measured revolution per minute and the vehicle speed to calculate what gear
the vehicle is in. It's this calculation that determines when the shift light should be turned "ON".

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - A/T: Description and Operation

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Control Module: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

ENGAGEMENT

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Trooper (UX) and Rodeo (UC) models equipped with 4L30-E automatic transmission.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Some affected vehicles may experience a noticeable delay from the time that gear selection is
made to the time that gear engagement occurs. This usually occurs after the vehicle has been
parked for an extended period of time (e.g., overnight) and only on the initial gear engagement
when shifting into drive or reverse. This delay may be caused by torque converter draindown.
This condition does not affect transmission operation, once the torque converter refills, and is not
harmful to the transmission. However, if it is necessary to eliminate this condition, replace the scarf
cut seal ring located on the first groove of the turbine shaft with a solid seal ring, using a Turbine
Shaft Seal Kit (Part No. 8-96041-327-0), in accordance with the procedure in this Service Bulletin.

NOTE

A short delay (i.e., 3 seconds or less) is normal when first engaging drive or reverse after allowing
the vehicle to sit overnight.

3. Cam side gear adjustment:

a. Install cam side gear and thrust washer into case, then install pinion gears and cross shaft.
Install cross shaft lock bolt. b. Rotate the lock bolt side pinion gear until a tooth is perpendicular to
the ring gear mounting surface, then insert a large tapered tool between

cross-shaft and cam gear face to eliminate freeplay.

c. Using a dial gauge measure lock bolt side pinion gear backlash, repeat steps b and c for
opposite side pinion gear. d. Adjust backlash to 0.010 to 0.018 inch by selecting cam gear thrust
washer.

4. Right side gear backlash:

a. Install clutch plates w/clips, right side gear and thrust washer into case then install pinion gears
and cross shaft. Install cross shaft lock bolt. b. Rotate the lock bolt side pinion gear until a tooth is
perpendicular to the ring gear mounting surface, then insert a large tapered tool between

cross-shaft and cam gear face to eliminate freeplay.

c. Using a dial gauge measure lock bolt side pinion gear back lash, repeat steps b and c for
opposite side pinion gear. d. Adjust backlash to 0.002 to 0.010 inch by selecting cam gear thrust
washer.

5. Thrust block clearance:

a. Install cam side gear and thrust washer into case. Install clutch plates w/clips, right side gear and
thrust washer into case. Install cross shaft

only, then insert two large tapered tools between cross-shaft and gear faces to eliminate freeplay.

b. With a 1-2 inch telescoping gauge, measure the distance between gear faces not gear teeth,
record measurement. c. With a 1-2 inch micrometer, measure thickness of the thrust block at an
unworn outer corner. d. Adjust thrust block to gear clearance to 0.000-0.006 inch by selecting
either a new thrust block or shimming right of cam gear clutch pack. If

shims are used, pinion gear backlash must remain between 0.002-0.010 inch.

6. Ensure ring gear and case mating surfaces are clean and free from burrs, mount ring gear on
case, install two new retaining bolts at opposite sides

of gear and alternately tighten bolts to draw gear on case.

7. Install remaining ring gear bolts hand tight and ensure gear is squarely seated on case. Always
use new bolts of proper type when installing ring

gear. Do not reuse old bolts.

not to collapse spacer if this method is used.

4. Install new pinion seal in housing, coat seal lips with grease, then mount driveshaft yoke on
pinion shaft, lightly tapping yoke until several pinion

shaft threads protrude from yoke.

5. Coat rear of pinion washer with suitable sealer, then install washer and new pinion nut. 6. Hold
driveshaft yoke with suitable tool, then alternately tighten pinion nut and rotate pinion until endplay
is reduced to zero. 7. When endplay is reduced to zero, check pinion bearing preload using a
torque wrench. 8. Continue tightening pinion nut in small increments until specified pinion bearing
preload is obtained, rotating pinion and checking preload after

each adjustment. Exceeding preload specification will compress collapsible spacer too far,
requiring replacement of spacer. If preload specification is exceeded, spacer must be replaced and
adjustment procedure must be repeated. Do not loosen pinion nut to reduce preload.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - A/T: Description and Operation

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Shift Light Circuit

PURPOSE

Informs the driver to shift to the next higher gear, to improve economy.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

The light is conyrolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and is turned "ON" by grounding the
ORN/BLU wire. The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light.

The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light: ^

Engine coolant temperature sensor

^ Throttle position sensor

^ Vehicle speed sensor

^ Revolution per minute

The ECM uses the measured revolution per minute and the vehicle speed to calculate what gear
the vehicle is in. It's this calculation that determines when the shift light should be turned "ON".

Control Module: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp - A/T: Description and Operation
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Shift Indicator: Description and Operation

Shift Light Circuit

PURPOSE

Informs the driver to shift to the next higher gear, to improve economy.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

The light is conyrolled by the Engine Control Module (ECM) and is turned "ON" by grounding the
ORN/BLU wire. The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light.

The ECM uses information from the following inputs to control the shift light: ^

Engine coolant temperature sensor

^ Throttle position sensor

^ Vehicle speed sensor

^ Revolution per minute

The ECM uses the measured revolution per minute and the vehicle speed to calculate what gear
the vehicle is in. It's this calculation that determines when the shift light should be turned "ON".

Control Module: Description and Operation
PURPOSE

The Transmission Control Module (TCM), based on predetermined shifting characteristics and
lockup operating valve, provides optimum shifting control across the range of vehicle operating
conditions.

OPERATION

The following input signals are sent to the TCM: select lever position from the mode switch, running
mode from the power and winter switches, throttle opening from the throttle position sensor, vehicle
speed from the vehicle speed sensor, and engine rpm from the ECM. After receiving these signals,
the TCM determines vehicle running condition and sends output signals to each solenoid to control
shifting.

- When the TCC solenoid is engaged, the lockup mechanism operates. - Shift solenoids 2/3 and
1-2/3-4 select shift gear position. - The force motor controls line pressure to improve shift feel. -
When the TCM detects an abnormal signal, it causes the CHECK TRANS lamp on the instrument
panel to flash, alerting the driver to a

malfunction.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Brake Control Module: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Antilock Brakes / Traction Control Systems > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2867
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Antilock Brakes / Traction Control Systems > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2870

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Antilock Brakes / Traction Control Systems > Electronic Brake
Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2871
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2900
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2901

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2903
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2905
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2906

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Brake Warning Indicator > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2907
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

DISC BRAKE SQUEAL

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu Vehicles

SERVICE INFORMATION

Some customers may comment on brake squeal during initial light brake application and at low
speeds. This squeal type sound is caused by a high-frequency vibration of the brake pads against
the rotating brake rotor and is unavoidable due to brake pad and brake rotor friction.

Proper installation of OEM brake hardware and applying anti-seize compound (or equivalent high
temp anti-rattle compound) to the brake pad backing will dampen and reduce this vibration.
However, the level of vibration varies due to outside temperature, humidity, road conditions (mud,
dust and road salt), and brake pad lining condition.

IMPORTANT:

Do not apply anti-seize compound (or equivalent high temp anti-rattle compound) to the brake
lining or rotor. Brake lining contamination will reduce braking efficiency.

If the brake squealing is exceptionally loud, then a brake inspection should be performed. However,
it is always important to confirm the severity of the brake squeal prior to performing any repairs.
This could avoid any misconceptions that customers could develop regarding the operation of their
Isuzu vehicle's brakes.

NOTE:

The customer should be made aware, that some brake squeal may be heard under normal braking
conditions.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Hydraulic System, Brakes > Brake Proportioning/Combination
Valve > Component Information > Description and Operation
Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation

The combination valve contains two separate sections, each serving a different function. The
proportioning section of the combination valve proportions outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a
predetermined rear input pressure has been reached. This is done to prevent rear wheel lock-up on
vehicles with light rear wheel loads.

These valve(s) which are threaded into the master cylinder (standard brake system), limit outlet
pressure to the rear brakes after a predetermined master cylinder pressure has been reached. This
is used when less rear apply force is needed to obtain optimum braking.

The valve has a ``bypass'' feature which assures full system pressure to the rear brakes, in the
event of a front brake system malfunction, also full front pressure is retained in the event of rear
malfunction.

The pressure differential warning switch is designed to constantly compare front and rear brake
pressure from the master cylinder and turn on the brake system warning light on the instrument
panel, in the event of a front or rear system malfunction. The valve and switch are designed to the
switch will latch in the ``warning'' position once a malfunction has occurred. The only way the light
can be turned off is to repair the malfunction and apply a pedal force required to develop line
pressure.

Brake Master Cylinder: Description and Operation Dual Master Cylinder

The master cylinder contains two pistons that supply hydraulic pressure for a dual-circuit brake
system. The primary piston provides the fluid pressure to the front brakes, while the secondary
piston provides the fluid pressure to the rear brakes. If the pressure is lost from either system, the
remaining system will function to stop the vehicle.

Parking Brake Cable: Adjustments

PARKING BRAKE ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: ^

All brakes are self-adjusting. Brakes are adjusted by repeated stepping on the brake pedal. (After
stepping on the pedal and releasing it, the rear auto-adjuster, in the rear brake, produces a clicking
sound. The same operation should be repeated until the sound disappears.)

^ Periodically check that the parking brake lever travel is between 9 and 11 notches.

^ Take the following steps if the parking brake lever traveling range deviates from the specified
notch numbers (9-11 notches), or after overhauling the rear brake assembly.

1. Move the parking brake handle to its fully released position.

2. Parking cable must be loosed sufficiently. (Loosen the adjust nut and the lock nut.) 3. Repeat
stepping on the brake pedal firmly, and releasing it until the clicking sound can no longer be heard.

If the difference between the brake drum inside diameter and diameter of the brake shoes is
adjusted to be 0.5mm, the number of times for depressing the brake pedal can be reduced.

4. Remove the drum. Measure the brake drum inside diameter and diameter of the brake shoes.

Shoe clearance: 0.25 - 0.40 mm (0.0098 - 0.0157 in.)

If incorrect, check the brake auto-adjusting system.

5. Firmly grasp the second relay lever rod. Rotate the adjust nut until all slack disappears from the
cable. Set the adjust nut. 6. Applying about 30 kg (66 lb.) of force, pull the parking brake handle to
its fully set position three or four times. 7. If the parking brake is properly adjusted, the travel
between the fully disengaged position and the fully engaged position will be between 9 and 11

notches.

- If the travel is not within these limits, again repeat steps 1 through 5.
- After adjusting has been done, check to see if the rear wheel rotates smoothly without drag when
turned by hand.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation Single Vacuum Unit

In a normal operating mode, with the service brakes in the released position, the single vacuum
booster operates with vacuum on one side of the diaphragm. When the brakes are applied, air at
atmospheric pressure is admitted to one side of the diaphragm to provide the power assist. When
the service brake is released, the atmospheric pressure is cut off from the one side of the
diaphragm. The air is then drawn from the booster through the vacuum check valve to the vacuum
source.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic
Brake Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3039
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic
Brake Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3042

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Brakes and Traction Control > Relays and Modules - Brakes and Traction Control > Electronic
Brake Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3043
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Fig. 4 Alternator Test Connections


To check alternator in a test stand, proceed as follows:

1. Connect alternator as shown in Fig. 4, except leave carbon pile disconnected. The ground
polarity of the alternator and the battery must be the

same. The battery must be fully charged. Use a 30-500 ohm resistor between battery and ``L''
terminal.

2. Slowly increase alternator speed and observe voltage. 3. If the voltage is uncontrolled and
increases above 16.0 volts, the rotor field is shorted or grounded or the regulator is defective, or
both. A

defective rotor field coil can cause the regulator to become defective. The battery must be fully
charged when making this test.

4. If voltage is below 16.0 volts, increase speed and adjust carbon pile to obtain maximum amperes
output. Maintain voltage above 13.0 volts. 5. If output is within 15 amperes of rated output the
alternator is good. 6. If output is not within 15 amperes of rated output, alternator is defective and
requires replacement.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Fuse Block: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Finding A Short Circuit

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

3. Set the volt meter to the appropriate range for the circuit being tested.

4. Connect the negative lead to a good ground point or the negative battery terminal, and connect
the positive lead to the connector or component terminal. NOTE: This test can be done with a test
light if the circuit does not include sensitive electrical components, i.e. electrical control units.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3142
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3144
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3145

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Starting and Charging > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 3173
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Information and Instructions > Page 3174

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3176
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 3178
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3179

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Power and Ground Distribution > Fuse Block > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3180
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

PSP Switch Circuit

Chart C-1E PSP Switch Circuit

Circuit Description

The Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch is normally open to ground, and GRN/YEL wire will be
near the battery positive voltage. Turning the steering wheel increases power steering oil pressure
and its load on an idling engine. The pressure switch will close before the load can cause an idle
problem. Closing the switch causes GRN/YEL wire to read less than I volt. The Engine Control
Module (ECM) will increase the idle air rate and disengage the air conditioning relay.

^ A pressure switch that will not close, or an open GRN/YEL wire, may cause the engine to stop,
when power steering loads are high. ^ A switch that will not open or a GRN/YEL wire shorted to
ground, may affect idle quality and will cause the air conditioning relay to be

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Steering and Suspension > Steering > Steering Column > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming >
System Information > Service Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3247

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the
total particulate.

Passenger air bag assembly

Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Electrical Test Equipment

When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector. Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not
tamper with the connector. Inserting the probe into the terminal side of the connector, and
tampering the connector could cause malfunction of the SRS system or an error in inspection.

Use a probe with the correct tip. Do not insert the probe forcibly.

Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using tools which are not specified standard
design could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners

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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other parts.

Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

Information On Proper Tire Pressure

ISSUE DATE: SEPTEMBER 2006

Affected Vehicles

All Light Duty Isuzu Vehicles

Service Information

IMPORTANT:

Generally a 5.6°C (10° F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 1 psi (6.9 kpa) tire
pressure change. Tires may be over inflated from the assembly plant due to the mounting process.
ALL tires (including the spare tire) MUST be set to the recommended inflation pressure stated on
the vehicles placard during the PRE-DELIVERY INSPECTION.

Ride, handling and road noise concerns may be caused by improperly adjusted tire pressure.

The first step in the diagnosis of these concerns is to verify that the tires are inflated to the correct
pressures. The recommended tire inflation pressure is listed on the vehicle's tire placard. The tire
placard is located on the driver's side front or rear door edge, or the rear compartment lid.

Tip

^ Generally a 5.6°C (10°F) temperature change will result in (is equivalent to) a 1 psi (6.9 kpa) tire
pressure change.

^ The definition of a "cold" tire is one that has been sitting for at least 3 hours or driven no more
than 1.6 km (1 mi).

IMPORTANT:

Do not use the tire pressure indicated on the tire itself as a guide. Always inspect and adjust the
pressure when the tires are cold. Vehicles that have different pressures for the front and the rear
need to be adjusted after tire rotation.

Improper tire inflation may result in any or all of the following conditions:

^ Premature tire wear

^ Harsh ride

^ Excessive road noise

^ Poor handling

^ Reduced fuel economy

^ Low Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Light ON

^ Low Tire Pressure Message on the Drivers Information Center (DIC)

Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Radial Tire - Sidewall Indentations

BULLETIN NUMBER SB94-08-001

ISSUE DATE NOVEMBER 1994

GROUP TIRES & WHEELS

RADIAL TIRE SIDEWALL INDENTATIONS

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu models equipped with radial tires.

SERVICE INFORMATION

On some affected vehicles, slight indentations may be noticeable on the sidewall surface of one or
more tires, giving the sidewall a wavy appearance.

The cause of these indentations lies in a radial tire's construction. In a radial tire, the body ply cords
run straight across the tire from bead to bead. Because of this "straight across" construction, the
joining of the ply material in the sidewall area may sometimes cause the sidewall surface to
develop slight indentations when the tire is inflated.

These sidewall indentations are a common characteristic of radial tires and will not affect the tire's
performance.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Information and Instructions > Page 3397
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3400
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 3402
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3403

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3404
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3431
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3433
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3434

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Blower Motor Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3435
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3459
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3460

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3462
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3464
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3465

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Compressor HVAC > Compressor Clutch > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3466
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Compressor Clutch: Testing and Inspection


MAGNETIC CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS

When the air conditioning switch and the fan control knob (fan switch) are turned on with the
engine running, current flows through the thermo switch (and the compressor) relay(s) to activate
the magnetic clutch.

The air conditioning can be stopped by turning off the air conditioning switch or the fan control lever
(fan switch). However, even when the air conditioning is in operation, the electronic thermostat, the
pressure switch or the Engine Control Module (ECM: V6 Engine) is used to stop the air
conditioning temporarily by turning off the magnetic clutch in the prearranged conditions to reduce
the engine load which is being caused by the rise in the engine coolant temperature, and the
acceleration of the vehicle, etc.

For the inspection of the relays, switches and units in the flow chart, refer to individual components
testing and inspection."

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3498
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Condenser Fan Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3499

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Condenser Fan Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3501
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Condenser Fan > Condenser Fan Motor > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3504

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

BULLETIN NUMBER: SB99-12-S002

ISSUE DATE: MARCH 1999

GROUP: AIR CONDITIONING

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu light vehicles equipped with air conditioning.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Condition: Some Isuzu owners may experience unpleasant odors when using the ventilation
system. These odors may be more pronounced after engaging the HVAC system, especially within
12 to 24 hours after previous use.

Possible Cause: The above condition is typically caused by residual c6ndensation in the
evaporator case after A/C use. The odor can be aggravated by particulates such as: cigarette/cigar
smoke, airborne molds, pollen, algae and bacteria trapped in the HVAC system and continually
recirculated.

Correction: To minimize or eliminate unpleasant odors originating from the HVAC system, use
available tool # J43681-A (Figure 1) to perform the procedure outlined in this bulletin.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Set the temperature selector to the warmest setting and select A/C off.
2. Dry the A/C evaporator by running hot air over the core with the mode control knob on
recirculation mode for approximately five (5) minutes.

* On some models (without the manual A/C ON/OFF button), select "MAX A/C" mode with A/C fuse
removed to disable the A/C compressor.

3. Remove the glove box while drying the A/C evaporator.

4. Drill 5/16"(8 mm) hole in the upper-right corner of the evaporator case. (Figure 2)

CAUTION

Be certain to set the drill bit depth at no more than 1/4" (6 mm). Mark the drill bit 1/4"(6 mm) or less
from its tip as a guide. Extending the drill bit deeper into the case after the hole has been drilled will
risk puncturing the evaporator core.

5. With the blower fan on medium to high speed and using the outside air setting, dispense the
deodorizer material J43681-A (w/applicator nozzle) with the following:

^ Place the tip of the nozzle into the 5/16"(8 mm) drilled hole of A/C evaporator core casing. (Figure
3)

^ Using no more than 30 PSI shop air, set nozzle fluid flow adjustment to full open position (full
counterclockwise position), and flood the A/C evaporator core by discharging 4 fluid ounces of
treatment chemical into the casing.

NOTE

2 fluid ounces are required to prime the application tubing and nozzle. The 1/2 gallon container
label is graduated in 4 ounce increments.

6. Plug the 5/16" (8 mm) hole with a 5/16" (8 mm) plug supplied with each treatment kit.

7. Run the ventilation system 5-10 minutes with the fan on high and windows open.

8. Reinstall the glove box and any panels, previously removed during Step 2.

* Reinstall the A/C fuse, if previously removed.


The application should last 3-4 months under normal use. Repeat the above service procedure,
should odors return after such time.

NOTE

As a preventive measure, service personnel may also suggest to the customer to run the fan
blower at mid to high speed with the A/C off and using the outside air setting to dry the evaporator
for the last few minutes before turning off the vehicle.

REPLACEMENT OF THE RECEIVER DRIER DURING AIR CONDITIONING AND SERVICE

AFFECTED VEHICLES All Isuzu vehicles

SERVICE INFORMATION

In the past, it has been common repair procedure to replace the receiver drier whenever the
system is opened. Further testing has confirmed that replacement of the receiver drier is not
necessary unless the receiver drier has been left open exposed to the atmosphere for several
hours or found to be defective. A defective receiver drier is one that is:

^ Leaking

^ Restricted

IMPORTANT:

If proper diagnosis concludes that the receiver drier is leaking or is restricted, then the receiver
drier should be replaced.

In addition, there are two other conditions when a receiver drier should be replaced even though it
is not the cause of the failure. The Receiver Drier should be replaced when either or both of the
following two conditions exists:

^ when the refrigerant oil contains metallic particles

^ When the Air Conditioning Compressor is seized.

Special Service Note:

In order to maximize the life of the A/C System and maintain maximum performance, the following
precautions should be performed:

^ Anytime an Air Conditioning component is disconnected for servicing, the opening should be
capped until the repair is to be completed.

^ If a new Receiver Drier is installed during a repair, it should be the last component installed.

^ The system should be properly evacuated and recharged. The evacuation should achieve a
maximum vacuum for at least 30 minutes to boil out all the moisture out of the system.
It is imperative to remember that the receiver drier has three distinct tasks, they are:

^ To provide a reservoir to enable a consistent flow of liquid refrigerant and refrigerant oil to the rest
of the Air Conditioning system when correctly charged.

^ To provide filtration and straining of unwanted particles within the system.

^ To remove unwanted moisture from the system using desiccant material contained in the
Receiver Drier.

NOTE:

By performing the service tips as indicated, the Air Conditioning system should perform according
to the manufacturer's specifications.

Issue Date: AUGUST 2007

New SAE J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standard

Affected Vehicles All Isuzu Light Duty Vehicles

Service Information

New SAE J2788 Refrigerant Recovery Standard

A new SAE standard approved for R134a Refrigerant Recovery Recharging Equipment (SAE
J2788) replaces SAE J2210 as the standard covering all mobile refrigerant recovery recharge
equipment. SAE J2788 contains several mandates that enhance vehicle A/C service for two key
reasons. The standard reduces the amount of refrigerant that can be lost to the atmosphere due to
growing concerns over global warming and greenhouse gas emissions. The standard also more
tightly controls the equipment accuracy for recharging due to OEM vehicle system refrigerant
capacities becoming smaller, which requires a more accurate charge for peak operating
performance. SAE J2788 will supersede J2210 in December 2007. At this time manufacturers will
no longer be able to produce J2210 equipment.

IMPORTANT:

This new standard does not affect equipment already produced before December 2007. You DO
NOT have to replace the equipment that you are currently using.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is currently in the process of rewriting the Federal
Registry, which will likely prohibit sale of SAE J2210 equipment at the end of March 2008.

^ The EPA does not currently have a plan to ban the use of J2210 equipment.

^ Current J2210 equipment can continue to be used by service locations for the useful life of the
equipment.

^ Purchase of new compliant equipment is not a requirement of SAE J2788 or the EPA.

New machinery built after December 2007 will meet or exceed the new specifications.

The SPX Robinair model 34788 was the first product certified to J2788 and has been in full
production and in service since December 2006. It meets all requirements outlined above and
includes numerous user friendly features beyond the SAE standard.

ISSUE DATE: AUGUST 2006

Affected Vehicles

All Isuzu Vehicles using R134a Refrigerant

Service Information

Commercially Available Contaminated R134a Refrigerant

Impurities have been found in new commercially available containers of R134a. High levels of
contaminates may cause decreased performance, and be detrimental to some air-conditioning
components. Accompanying these contaminates has been high levels of moisture.

NOTE:

Excessive moisture may cause system concerns such as orifice tube freeze-up and reduced
performance.

Industry Reaction: New Industry Purity Standards

Due to the potential availability of these lower quality refrigerants, the Society of Automotive
Engineers (SAE), and the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Industry (ARI) are in the process of
instituting reliable standards that will be carried on the labels of future R134a refrigerant containers.
This identifying symbol will be your assurance of a product that conforms to the minimum standard
for OEM Automotive Air-Conditioning use.

How Can You Protect Yourself Today?

It is recommended to use Isuzu sourced refrigerants for all A/C repair work. These refrigerants
meet Isuzu Motors America, Inc.'s own internal standards for quality and purity.

Service Procedures

The Ozone Layer

A thin layer of ozone molecules, located 10 to 30 miles above the earth, form a protective cover by
absorbing a portion of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation emitted from the Sun.

Ozone Depletion

Scientific research performed over the past 15 years links the release of chlorofluorocarbons
(CFC)s, also know by the trade name Freon) into the atmosphere to ozone depletion. When CFC's
are released into the atmosphere, they eventually reach the ozone layer located in the stratosphere
where they react with and destroy ozone molecules.

Harmful Effects

Ozone depletion and the corresponding increase in UV radiation has been shown to lead to higher
incidents of cancer as well as global warming. When viewed from a global perspective, ozone
depletion holds an enormous potential for damage.

Upper Level vs. Ground Level Ozone

Confusion often arises when we hear about the necessity of the ozone layer and ground level
ozone. The ozone layer existing high above the earth is beneficial but the same compound, when
located at ground level, is harmful to humans, animals, crops and vegetation.

Ground level ozone is a component of smog and forms when hydrocarbons (HC) react with
nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the presence of sunlight and heat.

Montreal Protocol

In response to the growing body of evidence demonstrating the detrimental effects of (CFC)s, 24
countries and the European community met in Montreal, Canada, in 1987 to establish standards for
the control of (CFC)s. Since that time, a total of 132 countries have become signatories to this
agreement leading to an end of production of R12 in December, 1995, in all developed countries.

As established by the Montreal Protocol, R12 production in developed countries has ceased.

Clean Air Act

The United States Congress, acting in response to the Montreal Protocol, banned production of
(CFC)s by the year 2000. Congress also amended the Clean Air Act in an effort to control both the
production and use of (CFC)s for refrigerant applications including mobile vehicle air conditioning
systems.

Alternative Refrigerants

The introduction of alternative refrigerants, primarily the hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) 134a, aims at
preventing further ozone layer depletion. Because 134a is chlorine free, it is deemed ozone safe.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Blower Motor Switch: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3668
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3669

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Heating and Air Conditioning > Sensors and Switches - HVAC > Blower Motor Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3671
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3675
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming > System Information
> Service Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3731

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the
total particulate.

Passenger air bag assembly

Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector. Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not
tamper with the connector. Inserting the probe into the terminal side of the connector, and
tampering the connector could cause malfunction of the SRS system or an error in inspection.

Use a probe with the correct tip. Do not insert the probe forcibly.

Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using tools which are not specified standard
design could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners

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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other parts.

Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

Undeployed Air Bag

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs. See: Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper "

AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Service
Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3741

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the

Air Bag: Testing and Inspection

To ensure proper system operation on any vehicle involved in a collision, all system components
should be inspected for dents, cracks, exposure to excessive heat and other damage even if
deployment did not take place. The steering column, knee pad and instrument panel reinforcement
plate should be inspected for damage. All air bag system wiring should be checked for chaffing and
interference with other vehicle components. Do not attempt to repair forward discriminating sensor,
passenger compartment discriminating sensor, arming sensor, DERM, coil assembly, SIR module
or mounting brackets. If found to be damaged, replace with a new unit. To ensure proper operation
of the SIR system, the vehicle structure must be returned to its original configuration. When
repairing vehicle, the SIR system should be disarmed as outlined under Technician Safety
Information. Also, when performing service procedure, do not expose components or wiring to heat
guns, welding or spray guns.

it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Airbag Deployment and Disposal (Outside Vehicle)

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE (DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY) -

Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to be returned to service. This
includes, for example, situations in which the vehicle will be returned to useful service after a
functionally or cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced. Deployment and disposal of a
malfunctioning air bag assembly is, of course, subject to any required retention period.

- For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly outside the vehicle, the deployment
procedure must be followed exactly. Always wear safety glasses during this deployment procedure
until a deployed air bag assembly is scrapped or until an undeployed air bag assembly is shipped.
Before performing the procedures you should be familiar with servicing the SRS and with proper
handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures should be read fully before they are performed.

- The following procedure requires use of J-41434 SRS deployment harness with appropriate
pigtail adapter. Do not attempt procedure without J-41434 adapter.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN


PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWER SOURCE
BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY.
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A

6. Place the driver air bag assembly on a work bench or other surface away from all loose or
flammable objects with its trim cover facing up, away

from the surface.

7. Clear a space on the ground about 183 cm (six feet) in diameter where the driver air bag
assembly is to be deployed. A paved, outdoor location
where there is no activity is preferred. If an outdoor location is not available, a space on the shop
floor where there is no activity and sufficient ventilation is recommended. Ensure no loose or
flammable objects are within the deployment area.

8. Place the driver air bag assembly, with its trim cover facing up, on the ground in the space just
cleared. 9. Stretch the SRS deployment harness and pigtail adapter from the driver air bag
assembly to its full length.

10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A

vehicle battery is suggested.

NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into the driver air bag assembly connector.
Failure to fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar located in the driver air bag
assembly connector functioning (shorted) and may result in non~deployment of the driver air bag
assembly.

11. Connect the driver air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the SRS deployment harness.
Deployment harness shall remain shorted and not be

connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed. The driver air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected to it.

12. Verify that the area around the driver air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects. 13. Verify that the driver air bag assembly is resting with its trim cover facing
up. 14. Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver air bag. The
deployment will be accompanied by a substantial noise

which may startle the uninformed.

15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.

NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the driver air bag assembly may jump about 30 cm (one foot)
vertically. This is a normal reaction of the driver air bag to the force of the rapid gas expansion
inside the air bag.

NOTE: When the air bag deploys, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial report. Notify all
people in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the driver air bag.

quickly reacts with the atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium
bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after
deployment.

WARNING: SAFETY PRECAUTIONS MUST BE OBSERVED WHEN HANDING A DEPLOYED


AIR BAG ASSEMBLY. AFTER DEPLOYMENT, THE METAL SURFACES OF THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. ALLOW THE INFLATOR MODULE TO COOL BEFORE
HANDLING ANY METAL PORTION OF IT. DO NOT PLACE THE DEPLOYED AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY NEAR ANY FLAMMABLE OBJECTS. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY
RESULT IN FIRE OR PERSONAL INJURY. AFTER A DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY HAS BEEN
DEPLOYED, THE METAL CANISTER AND SURROUNDING AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY WILL BE VERY HOT. DO NOT TOUCH THE METAL AREAS OF THE DRIVER AIR
BAG ASSEMBLY FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AFTER DEPLOYMENT. IF THE DEPLOYED
DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOVED BEFORE IT IS COOL, WEAR GLOVES AND
HANDLE BY THE AIR BAG OR TRIM COVER.

21. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver air bag assembly as soon after deployment as
possible. This will prevent damage to the pigtail

adapter or SRS deployment harness due to possible contact with the hot driver air bag assembly
canister. The pigtail adapter can be reused. They should, however, be inspected for damage after
each deployment and replaced if necessary.

22. Dispose of the deployed driver air bag assembly through normal refuse channels after it has
cooled for at least 30 minutes. 23. Wash your hands with mild soap and water afterward.

NOTE: The remaining steps are to be followed in the unlikely event that the driver air bag assembly
did not deploy after following these procedures.

24. Ensure that the SRS deployment harness has been disconnected from the power source and
that its two banana plugs have been shorted together by

fully seating one banana plug into the other.

25. Disconnect the pigtail adapter from the driver air bag assembly.

WARNING: WHEN STORING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY OR WHEN LEAVING A LIVE
INFLATOR MODULE UNATTENDED ON A BENCH OR OTHER SURFACE, ALWAYS FACE THE
BAG AND TRIM COVER UP AND AWAY FROM THE SURFACE. THIS IS NECESSARY SO
THAT A FREE SPACE IS PROVIDED TO ALLOW THE AIR BAG TO EXPAND IN THE UNLIKELY
EVENT OF ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT. FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES MAY RESULT
IN PERSONAL INJURY.

26. Temporarily store the driver air bag assembly with its trim cover facing up, away from the
surface upon which it rests.

Air Bag: Service and Repair Passenger Air Bag Assembly

Airbag Deployment and Disposal (Inside Vehicle)

Before scrapping an air bag unit or a vehicle with an air bag, the air bag unit should be deployed.

1. Turn ignition Off. 2. Disconnect yellow two-way electrical connector located behind instrument
panel compartment door. 3. Cut air bag unit two-way harness from vehicle harness approximately
six inches from yellow electrical connector. 4. Fabricate two electrical leads at least 30 feet in
length. Use 18 gauge or thicker wire. Splice leads to the cut wires protruding from two-way yellow

SRS electrical connector that was cut from SRS wiring harness.

5. Connect yellow electrical connector to which the 30 foot electrical leads were spliced to the
yellow two-way electrical connector located behind

instrument panel compartment door.

6. Ensure air bag unit is securely mounted to instrument panel. 7. Remove loose objects from
vehicle passenger compartment. 8. Ensure no people, animals or objects are inside or within 30
feet of vehicle. 9. Extend fabricated electrical leads approximately 30 feet away from vehicle, then
connect to fully charged 12 volt battery to deploy air bag unit.

When deploying, ensure vehicle is empty. No poisonous gas is produced upon deployment.
However, do not inhale gas since it could irritate throat and can cause choking. Allow components
to cool for at least ten minutes after deployment. Do not attempt to disassemble air bag module: it
cannot be reused. If air bag did not deploy, consult Isuzu for disposal procedures.

Airbag Deployment and Disposal (Outside Vehicle)

DEPLOYMENT OUTSIDE VEHICLE (PASSENGER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY) -

Deployment outside the vehicle is proper when the vehicle is to be returned to service. This
includes, for example, situations in which the vehicle will be returned to useful service after a
functionally or cosmetically deficient air bag assembly is replaced. Deployment and disposal of a
malfunctioning air bag assembly is, of course, subject to any required retention period.
- For deployment of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly outside the vehicle, the deployment
procedure must be followed exactly. Always wear safety glasses during this deployment procedure
until a deployed air bag assembly is scrapped or until an undeployed air bag assembly is shipped.
Before performing the procedures you should be familiar with servicing the SRS and with proper
handling of the air bag assembly. Procedures should be read fully before they are performed.

- The following procedure requires use of J-41434 SRS deployment harness with appropriate
pigtail adapter. The procedure also requires the use of J-41497 Passenger Side SRS Module
Deployment Fixture. Do not attempt procedure without J-41434 and adapter, and J-41497.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN


PERSONAL INJURY. NEVER CONNECT DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO ANY POWER SOURCE
BEFORE CONNECTING DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE DRIVER AIR BAG ASSEMBLY.
DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED TO A
POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY WILL
IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO IT.
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE DEPLOYMENT AND DISPOSAL
PROCEDURE.

NOTE: This information applies only to passenger air bag assembly.

1. Turn ignition switch to 'LOCK', remove key and put on safety glasses. 2. Inspect J-41434 SRS
Deployment Harness and appropriate pigtail adapter for damage. If harness or pigtail adapter is
damaged, discard and obtain

a replacement.

3. Short the two SRS deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the
other. SRS deployment harness shall remain

shorted and not be connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Air Bag Systems > Air Bag > Component Information > Service and Repair
> Driver Air Bag Assembly > Page 3754

4. Connect the appropriate pigtail adapter to the SRS deployment harness. 5. Remove passenger
air bag assembly from vehicle. 6. Clear a space on the ground approximately 185 cm (six feet) in
diameter where the fixture with attached air bag assembly is to be placed for

deployment. A paved outdoor location where there is no activity is preferred. If an outdoor location
is not available, a space on the shop floor where is no activity and sufficient ventilation is
recommended. Ensure that no loose or flammable objects are within the deployment area.

7. Place the J-41497 on the bench vice. This is necessary to provide sufficient stabilization of the
fixture during deployment. 8. Attach the passenger air bag assembly in the J-41497 air bag
assembly must be mounted such that the bag will deploy upward.

SECURELY HAND-TIGHTEN ALL FASTENERS PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT.

9. Stretch the SRS Deployment Harness and pigtail adapter from the air bag assembly to its full
length.

10. Place a power source near the shorted end of the SRS deployment harness. (Recommended
application: 12 volts minimum, 2 amps minimum. A

vehicle battery is suggested.)

11. Connect the air bag assembly to the pigtail adapter on the SRS deployment harness. The SRS
Deployment Harness shall remain shorted and not be

connected to a power source until the air bag is to be deployed. The air bag assembly will
immediately deploy the air bag when a power source is connected to it.

NOTE: Ensure that the pigtail adapter is firmly seated into the air bag assembly connector. Failure
to fully seat the connectors may leave the shorting bar located in the air bag assembly connector
functioning (shorting the deployment circuit) and may result in non-deployment of the air bag
assembly.

12. Verify that the area around the passenger air bag assembly is clear of all people and loose or
flammable objects. 13. Verify that the passenger air bag assembly is firmly and properly in
J-41497. 14. Notify all people in the immediate area of your intention to deploy the passenger air
bag assembly. The deployment will be accompanied by a
substantial noise which may startle the uninformed.

15. Separate the two banana plugs on the SRS deployment harness.

WARNING: DEPLOYMENT HARNESS SHALL REMAIN SHORTED AND NOT BE CONNECTED


TO A POWER SOURCE UNTIL THE AIR BAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED. THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY
WILL IMMEDIATELY DEPLOY THE AIR BAG WHEN A POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO
IT. CONNECTING THE DEPLOYMENT HARNESS TO THE POWER SOURCE SHOULD
ALWAYS BE THE LAST STEP IN THE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURE.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES IN THE ORDER LISTED MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL
INJURY.

16. Connect the SRS deployment harness wires to the power source to immediately deploy the air
bag assembly. Recommended application : 12 volts

minimum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.

17. Disconnect the SRS deployment harness from the power source. 18. Short the two SRS
deployment harness leads together by fully seating one banana plug into the other. 19. In the
unlikely event that the passenger air bag assembly did not deploy after following these procedures,
proceed immediately with Steps 24

through 26. If the passenger air bag assembly deployed as intended, proceed with Steps 20
through 23.

20. Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag

assembly. After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a
powdery residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it
inflates) and by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is
produced as a by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide quickly reacts with the
atmospheric moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking
soda). Therefore, it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present for very long after deployment.

Air Bag Control Module: Description and Operation

Deployment Loop and Sensing and Diagnostic Module

The deployment loop and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) are the two main portions of the
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS). The deployment loop portion supplies current through the
SRS modules, which are used to deploy the air bags in the event of a front end collision of
sufficient force up to 30 ° off vehicle centerline.

Fig. 2 Deployment Loop Diagram

The deployment loop consists of the arming sensor, SRS coil, inflator modules and discriminating
sensors, Fig. 2. The arming sensor switches power to the inflator modules on the deployment loop
high side.

Either of the discriminating sensors may provide ground to the inflator modules on the deployment
loop low side. The modules will only be supplied sufficient current to deploy when the arming
sensor and at least one of the two discriminating sensors closes simultaneously for three
milliseconds or more.

The Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) contains a 24 Volt Loop Reserve (24 VLR) and a
sensing device to convert vehicle velocity changes to electrical signals. These are processed by
the SDM and compared to a value stored in memory. If the generated signal exceeds the stored
value, the SDM

Air Bag Control Module: Testing and Inspection

To ensure proper system operation on any vehicle involved in a collision, all system components
should be inspected for dents, cracks, exposure to excessive heat and other damage even if
deployment did not take place. The steering column, knee pad and instrument panel reinforcement
plate should be inspected for damage. All air bag system wiring should be checked for chaffing and
interference with other vehicle components. Do not attempt to repair forward discriminating sensor,
passenger compartment discriminating sensor, arming sensor, DERM, coil assembly, SIR module
or mounting brackets. If found to be damaged, replace with a new unit. To ensure proper operation
of the SIR system, the vehicle structure must be returned to its original configuration. When
repairing vehicle, the SIR system should be disarmed as outlined under Technician Safety
Information. Also, when performing service procedure, do not expose components or wiring to heat
guns, welding or spray guns.

ISUZU DEALER ADVISORY: AVAILABILITY OF AIRBAG ON-OFF SWITCH KITS (SUPERSEDES


SB98-04-L003)

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu models equipped with driver and/or passenger airbags.

SERVICE INFORMATION Genuine Isuzu Air Bag On-Off Switch Kits are now available from
AIPDN.

On November 18, 1997, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a new
regulation, published in the November 21, 1997 Federal Register, allowing motor vehicle owners to
have airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles under certain limited conditions. Under the
new regulation, vehicle owners may obtain written authorization from NHTSA to have retrofit driver
and/or passenger-side airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles only if they fall into one or
more of the following categories of people at risk:

- Those who cannot avoid placing a rear-facing infant seat in the front passenger seat.

- Those who have an unusual medical condition that place them at specific risk.

- Those drivers who cannot adjust their seating position to keep back approximately 10 inches from
the steering wheel.

- Those who cannot avoid situations - such as a car pool - that require a child 12 years or under to
ride in the front seat.

Vehicle owners who are interested in learning about airbag on-off switches may contact NHTSA's
toll-free Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or browse their web site at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. NHTSA will
provide the vehicle owner with an information brochure Air Bags & On-Off Switches: Information for
an Informed Decision and the accompanying form Request for Air Bag On-Off Switch. If after
reading the brochure, a vehicle owner decides to seek an authorization letter from NHTSA, he or
she must fill out the request form and mail it to NHTSA. If NHTSA approves the request, NHTSA
will then send the owner a letter authorizing dealers or other repair outlets to install an on-off switch
in his or her vehicle. (Remember that each on-off switch requires a separate authorization letter
from NHTSA.).

As a final matter, we remind you that the new regulation does not require dealers to install on~off
switches under any circumstances; it simply authorizes dealers to take such actions if the customer
has a specific authorization letter from NHTSA. Dealers must make their own decisions.

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Restraint Systems > Seat Belt Systems > Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming > System
Information > Service Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3792

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the
total particulate.

Passenger air bag assembly

Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.

Information > Service Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3793
After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Electrical Test Equipment

When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector. Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not
tamper with the connector. Inserting the probe into the terminal side of the connector, and
tampering the connector could cause malfunction of the SRS system or an error in inspection.

Use a probe with the correct tip. Do not insert the probe forcibly.

Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using tools which are not specified standard
design could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners

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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other parts.

Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

ISUZU DEALER ADVISORY: AVAILABILITY OF AIRBAG ON-OFF SWITCH KITS (SUPERSEDES


SB98-04-L003)

AFFECTED VEHICLES

All Isuzu models equipped with driver and/or passenger airbags.

SERVICE INFORMATION Genuine Isuzu Air Bag On-Off Switch Kits are now available from
AIPDN.

On November 18, 1997, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) issued a new
regulation, published in the November 21, 1997 Federal Register, allowing motor vehicle owners to
have airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles under certain limited conditions. Under the
new regulation, vehicle owners may obtain written authorization from NHTSA to have retrofit driver
and/or passenger-side airbag on-off switches installed in their vehicles only if they fall into one or
more of the following categories of people at risk:

- Those who cannot avoid placing a rear-facing infant seat in the front passenger seat.

- Those who have an unusual medical condition that place them at specific risk.

- Those drivers who cannot adjust their seating position to keep back approximately 10 inches from
the steering wheel.

- Those who cannot avoid situations - such as a car pool - that require a child 12 years or under to
ride in the front seat.

Vehicle owners who are interested in learning about airbag on-off switches may contact NHTSA's
toll-free Hotline at 1-800-424-9393 or browse their web site at http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov. NHTSA will
provide the vehicle owner with an information brochure Air Bags & On-Off Switches: Information for
an Informed Decision and the accompanying form Request for Air Bag On-Off Switch. If after
reading the brochure, a vehicle owner decides to seek an authorization letter from NHTSA, he or
she must fill out the request form and mail it to NHTSA. If NHTSA approves the request, NHTSA
will then send the owner a letter authorizing dealers or other repair outlets to install an on-off switch
in his or her vehicle. (Remember that each on-off switch requires a separate authorization letter
from NHTSA.).

As a final matter, we remind you that the new regulation does not require dealers to install on~off
switches under any circumstances; it simply authorizes dealers to take such actions if the customer
has a specific authorization letter from NHTSA. Dealers must make their own decisions.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Adapter Kit] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3841
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer
Adapter Kit] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3844
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Accessories and Optional Equipment > Towing / Trailer System > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer
Adapter Kit] > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3847

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

APPLICABLE VEHICLES

Rodeo (UC), Pickup (TF), and Amigo (TC) models.

SERVICE INFORMATION

On some affected vehicles, in cold weather conditions, water can become trapped in the front
fender well and freeze, forming a buildup of ice around the lower portion of the door-to-fender area.
When the driver or front passenger door is opened, this ice buildup can damage the door and/or
fender.

To correct the problem, replace the existing right and left fender inner liner with the appropriate
new, improved fender inner liner (see "Parts Information" section of this Service Bulletin) using the
procedure described in this Service Bulletin. The new fender inner liner diverts water away from the
lower portion of the front door-to-fender area, so that in cold weather, this area is kept free from ice
buildup.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3883

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3887
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock
Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3888

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock
Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3890
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock
Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3893

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Doors, Hood and Trunk > Trunk / Liftgate > Power Trunk / Liftgate Lock
Actuator > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3894
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Trailer Adapter: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3950
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer Adapter Kit] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3951

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer Adapter Kit] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3953
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Frame > Trailer Adapter <--> [Trailer Adapter Kit] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3956

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Interior Moulding / Trim > Dashboard / Instrument Panel > Air Bag(s) Arming
and Disarming > System Information > Service Precautions > Air Bag Assembly Handling/Shipping/Scrapping > Page 3972

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.

WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

Deployed Air Bag

Deployed Air Bag Assembly

WARNING: You should wear gloves and glasses. After the air bag assembly has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain solid particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of
by-products of the chemical reaction, Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of
Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride, Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in
amounts of about 1% (each) of the total particulate."

Driver Airbag Assembly

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain solid
particulate. This solid particulate consists primarily of by products of the chemical reaction,
Potassium Chloride and copper metal dust. Compounds of Potassium Borate, Strontium Chloride,
Copper Chloride, and Ammonium Chloride may be found in amounts of about 1% (each) of the
total particulate.

Passenger air bag assembly

Put on a pair of shop gloves and safety glasses to protect your hands and eyes from possible
irritation and heat when handling the deployed air bag assembly.

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Electrical Test Equipment

When using electrical test equipment, insert the probe of the tester into the wire side of the
connector. Do not insert the probe of the tester into the terminal side of the connector, and do not
tamper with the connector. Inserting the probe into the terminal side of the connector, and
tampering the connector could cause malfunction of the SRS system or an error in inspection.

Use a probe with the correct tip. Do not insert the probe forcibly.

Use specified service connectors in troubleshooting. Using tools which are not specified standard
design could cause an error in inspection due to poor metal-to-metal contact.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners

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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Wiring

Never attempt to modify, splice or repair SRS wiring.

NOTE: SRS wiring can be identified by special yellow outer protective covering.

Be sure to install the harness wires so that they are not pinched or interfering with other parts.

Make sure all SRS ground locations are clean and grounds are securely fastened for optimum
metal-to-metal contact. Poor grounding can cause intermittent problems that are difficult to
diagnose.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service and Repair

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Power Door Lock Actuator: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4033
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Actuator > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4034

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Actuator > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4036
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Body and Frame > Locks > Power Locks > Power Door Lock Actuator > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4039

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

GROUP BODY

1993 PAINT COLORS AND CODES

VEHICLES AFFECTED

All 1993 Isuzu passenger cars and trucks.

SERVICE INFORMATION

This Service Bulletin contains paint codes for 1993 Isuzu vehicle colors. Refer to Service Bulletin
SB90-11-007 for paint codes for 1986-1991 vehicle colors; refer to SB91-11-005 for 1992 paint
codes.

In Chart 1, the option codes and colors are listed by vehicle model, with a reference to paint code.
The paint code is used in Chart 2 to identify the aftermarket paint vendor code.

On the vehicle, the option code is printed on the Service ID Plate, located under the hood, on the
bulkhead at the rear of the engine compartment.

All aftermarket paint cross-reference information has been supplied by the paint manufacturers. In
many cases, the aftermarket manufacturer's color name differs from the Isuzu color name listed in
this Service Bulletin.

The last column in Chart 2 indicates whether or not the paint should be clear-coated. If a 2-tone
vehicle uses one clear-coat color and one uncoated color, only the clear-coated color receives the
clear coat.

IMPORTANT Due to differences in manufacturing plants, be sure to specify the manufacturing


plant when ordering paint. The color name is the same, but the paint formula differs between
assembly plants. Check the VIN plate to verify where the vehicle was manufactured:

^ Pickups with VINs starting with JAA were manufactured in Japan.

^ Pickups and Rodeos with VINs starting with 4S1 or 4S2 were manufactured at SIA. Give this
information to your paint supplier to ensure receiving the exact formula required.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4125
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4126

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4128
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Audible Warning Device > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4131

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Brake Warning Indicator: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4151
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4152

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4154
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Brake Warning Indicator > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4157

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Cigarette Lighter: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4176
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4177

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4179
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Cigarette Lighter > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4182

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

NOTE: Refer to the latest service bulletins for proper SRS inflator module shipping procedures.

CAUTION: When you are performing service on or near the SRS components or the SRS wiring,
you must disable the SRS. Failure to follow the correct procedure could cause air bag deployment,
personal injury, or unnecessary SRS repairs.

1. Air bag assembly should not be subjected to temperatures above 93°C (200°F).

2. Air bag assembly, and Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) should not be used if they have
been dropped from a height of 100 cm (3.28 feet).

3. When a SDM is replaced, it must be oriented with the arrow on the sensor pointing toward the
front of the vehicle. It is very important for the

SDM to be located flat on the mounting surface, parallel to the vehicle datum line. It is important
that the SDM mounting surface is free of any dirt or other foreign material.

4. Do not apply power to the SRS unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

5. The "SRS Diagnostic System Check" must be the starting point of any SRS diagnostics. The
"SRS Diagnostic System Check" will verify proper
"AIR BAG" warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any SRS
malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assembly

Special care is necessary when handling and storing a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. The
rapid gas generation produced during deployment of the air bag could cause the air bag assembly,
or an object in front of the air bag assembly, to be thrown through the air in the unlikely event of an
accidental deployment.

WARNING: WHEN CARRYING A LIVE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, MAKE SURE THE BAG OPENING
IS POINTED AWAY FROM YOU. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THE BAG WILL
THEN DEPLOY WITH MINIMAL CHANCE OF INJURY. NEVER CARRY THE AIR BAG
ASSEMBLY BY THE WIRES OR CONNECTOR ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE MODULE.

Air Bag Assembly Shipping Procedure For Live (Undeployed) Air Bag Assemblies

Service personnel should refer to the latest Service Bulletins for proper Supplemental Restraint
System (SRS) air bag assembly shipping procedures.

Air Bag Assembly Scrapping Procedure

During the course of a vehicle's useful life, certain situations may arise which will necessitate the
disposal of a live (undeployed) air bag assembly. This information covers proper procedures for
disposing of a live air bag assembly. Before a live air bag assembly can be disposed of, it must be
deployed. Alive air bag assembly must not be disposed of through normal refuse channels.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FOLLOW PROPER SRS AIR BAG ASSEMBLY DISPOSAL
PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WHICH MAY CAUSE PERSONAL
INJURY. AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY MUST NOT BE DISPOSED OF THROUGH
NORMAL REFUSE CHANNELS.THE UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG ASSEMBLY CONTAINS
SUBSTANCES THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE ILLNESS OR PERSONAL INJURY IF THE SEALED
CONTAINER IS DAMAGED DURING DISPOSAL.DISPOSAL IN ANY MANNER INCONSISTENT
WITH PROPER PROCEDURES MAY BE A VIOLATION OF FEDERAL, STATE, AND / OR LOCAL
LAW.

In situations which require deployment of a live air bag assembly module, deployment may be
accomplished inside or outside the vehicle. The method employed depends upon the final
disposition of the particular vehicle, as noted in "Deployment Outside Vehicle" and "Deployment
Inside Vehicle" in this section.

After the air bag assembly has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and
by products of the chemical reaction. Sodium hydroxide dust (similar to lye soap) is produced as a
by product of the deployment reaction. The sodium hydroxide then quickly reacts with atmospheric
moisture and is converted to sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Therefore,
it is unlikely that sodium hydroxide will be present after deployment.

Air Bag(s) Arming and Disarming: Service Precautions Fasteners
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 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.

CAUTION: When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which
they were removed. if a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for
that application. if the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and
strength (or stronger) may be used. fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread
locking compound will be called out. the correct torque value must be used when installing
fasteners that require it. if the above conditions are not followed, parts or system damage could
result.

PRECAUTIONS

1. To avoid accidental deployment and possible personal injury, always disarm the system prior to
performing service procedure. Wait at least ten

minutes after disconnecting the cable prior to performing any service. The SIR System is designed
to retain enough voltage to deploy the air bag for a short time even after the battery ground cable
has been disconnected. Performing service before a minimum of ten minutes has elapsed may
cause air bag deployment and possible injury.

2. To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the SIR system, do not use electrical test equipment,
such as battery powered or A/C powered

voltmeter, ohmmeter or any type of electrical equipment other than specified. Do not use a
non-powered probe type tester.

3. The passenger compartment sensors must always be installed with arrow mark facing the front
of the vehicle for proper operation. 4. Check sensors for cracks, deformities or rust before
installation and replace as required. 5. When handling or storing an air bag module, always position
with the pad side facing upward. 6. Keep air bag assembly free of oil, grease, detergents and
water. 7. Do not expose air bag assembly to temperatures that exceed 212° F. 8. Do not use SIR
system components from another vehicle. Always install new replacement components on vehicle.
9. Inspect all components prior to installation. Do not install any components that appear to have
been improperly handled or stored or that show any

signs of damage.

10. When performing service procedure, do not expose sensors/wiring or other SIR system
components to heat guns, welding or spray guns.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Panel Bulb > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4233
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Instrument Cluster / Carrier > Instrument

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Instrument Cluster / Carrier > Instrument
Panel Bulb > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4236
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Instrument Cluster / Carrier > Instrument
Panel Bulb > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4239

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Malfunction Indicator Lamp: Description and Operation

PURPOSE

Illuminates when a influencing occurs that will affect emission control performance. Flashes trouble
codes (DTC) during testing operations.

LOCATION

In the instrument cluster.

OPERATION

When the system detects a fault in a monitored component and/or circuit, the light will come on and
stay on (while the engine is running), alerting the driver to seek service. With intermittent problems,
the light may come on and then go out, but a trouble code will be stored in ECM memory if correct
parameters are met. The technician can then extract trouble codes from the ECM that will aid in the
diagnosis and repair.

Another function of the "Check Engine" light is Field Service Mode. When the diagnostic terminal is
grounded with the engine running, the system will enter this mode and indicate whether it is in
"Open Loop" or "Closed Loop." If in "Open Loop," the "Check Engine" light flashes two and one-half
times per second. In "Closed Loop," the light flashes once per second.

In "Closed Loop", the light will stay "OFF" most of the time if the system is running too lean. It will
stay "ON" most of the time if the system is too rich.

While in Field Service Mode, new trouble codes cannot be stored in the ECM memory and the
"Closed Loop" timer is bypassed.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

The "CHECK TRANS" indicator is lit at the beginning of every ignition cycle for 2 to 4 seconds
while the TCM performs a self-test of the circuit and components. When the TCM detects an
electrical failure in the system (ignition switch on), TCM will turn the "CHECK TRANS" indicator on
and store a trouble code in its memory. Note that most electrical failures will cause the TCM to
enter the backup mode.

The TCM also uses the "CHECK TRANS" indicator to display trouble codes by flashing the
indicator. When the Tech-1 is connected to the TCM diagnostic system, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator flashes continuously.

NOTE: This test assumes the following: - Either "CHECK TRANS" indicator is on at all times
(ignition is on) and no trouble codes are stored, or - "CHECK TRANS" indicator does not light and
the Tech-1 is able to receive data from the TCM.

NOTE: For all 1990-93 models: - In addition to its diagnosis-related function, the "CHECK TRANS"
indicator will be constantly on (not flashing) if the transmission oil

temperature is above 293°F (145°C).

- The "CHECK TRANS" indicator will go oft again when the transmission oil temperature is below
257°F (125°C).

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Gauge > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4285

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Gauge > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4287
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4289
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Gauge > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4290

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Instrument Panel, Gauges and Warning Indicators > Oil Pressure Gauge > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4291
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Finding A Short Circuit

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Information and Instructions > Page 4392
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Information and Instructions > Page 4393

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Backup Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4395
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 4397
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Backup Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4398

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Backup Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4399
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

and Instructions > Page 4419

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4421
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

and Instructions > Page 4423
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4424

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Brake Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4425
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cargo Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4444
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cargo Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4445

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cargo Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4447
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

and Instructions > Page 4449
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cargo Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4450

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Cargo Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4451
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4470
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4471

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4473
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 4475
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4476

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Courtesy Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4477
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4496
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4497

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4499
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Dome Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4502

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 4522
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 4523

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Fog/Driving Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4525
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Fog/Driving Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4528

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Hazard Warning Lamps: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices

Information and Instructions > Page 4547
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 4548

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4550
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4553

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Hazard Warning Lamps > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4554
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Headlamp Switch: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Headlamp > Headlamp Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4577
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4579
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Headlamp > Headlamp Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4580

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Headlamp > Headlamp Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4581
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Finding A Short Circuit

3. Connect a test lamp in place of the fuse.

4. Establish conditions that turn the test lamp on.

EXAMPLE

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW ON and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW 1 and Relay ON (connect


the relay)

5. Connect and disconnect the components or connectors in the circuit while watching the test light.

a) The test light will come on when the shorted circuit or component is connected. b) The test light
will go off when the circuit or component is disconnected

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

Voltage Check

2. Establish conditions in which voltage should be present at the check point.

EXAMPLE:

a) Ignition SW ON b) Ignition SW and SW 1 ON c) Ignition SW, SW1 and Relay ON (SW 2 OFF)

3. Set the volt meter to the appropriate range for the circuit being tested.

4. Connect the negative lead to a good ground point or the negative battery terminal, and connect
the positive lead to the connector or component terminal. NOTE: This test can be done with a test
light if the circuit does not include sensitive electrical components, i.e. electrical control units.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Instructions > Page 4602
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Horn > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4603

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Horn > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4605
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Instructions > Page 4606
Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Horn > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4607
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Horn > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4608

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Horn > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 4609
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 4627
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Information and Instructions > Page 4628

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4630
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Information and Instructions > Page 4631
Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 4632
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4633

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > License Plate Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4634
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Map Light: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Map Light > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4654
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Map Light > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4655

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Map Light > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4657
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Map Light > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 4660

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4680
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4681

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4683
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Marker Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4686

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4706
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4707

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4709
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4712

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Parking Lamp > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4713
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Headlamp Switch: Diagnostic Aids

Continuity and Resistance Check

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Headlamp Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4737
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Headlamp Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4740

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Lighting and Horns > Sensors and Switches - Lighting and Horns > Headlamp Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4741
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Disconnect the battery or connector so there is no power between the check points.

3. Set the ohmmeter to the appropriate range.

Continuity And Resistance Check

4. Connect the two leads of the meter to each of the check points.

Diode Check

5. If the circuit or component has diodes, reverse the leads and check again. a. When contacting
the negative lead to the diode's positive side and the positive lead to the negative side, there
should be continuity. b. When connecting the two leads in reverse, there should not be continuity.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

Information and Instructions > Page 4765

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Information and Instructions > Page 4769
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))

Information and Instructions > Page 4770

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4772
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 8 Crimping the Splice Clip

Information and Instructions > Page 4773
Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Information and Instructions > Page 4774
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4775

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Heated Glass Element > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4776
Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

Figure 1 - Typical Push-To-Seat Connector

Fig. 20 Typical Pull-to-Seat Connector and Terminal

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

WEATHER PACK

Follow the steps below to repair Weather Pack(R) connectors, Fig. 21.

1. Separate the connector halves.

2. Open secondary lock. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to the
connector.

3. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

4. Insert the Weather Pack(R) terminal removal tool into the front (mating end) of the connector
cavity until it rests on the cavity shoulder.

5. Gently pull on the lead to remove the terminal through the back of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

6. Inspect the terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

7. Reform the lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body.

8. Close secondary locks and join connector halves.

Terminal Repair

Fig. 22 Terminal Repair


The following repair procedures can be used to repair Push-to-Seat, Pull-to-Seat or Weather
Pack(R) terminals, Fig. 22. Some terminals do not require all steps shown. Skip those that don't
apply. (Refer to Kent-Moore Terminal Repair Kit J 38125-A for further information.)

1. Cut off terminal between core and insulation crimp (minimize wire loss) and remove seal for
Weather Pack(R) terminals.

2. Apply correct seal per gauge size of wire and slide back along wire to enable insulation removal
(Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

3. Remove insulation.

4. Align seal with end of cable insulation (Weather Pack(R) terminals only).

5. Position strip (and seal for Weather Pack(R)) in terminal.

6. Hand crimp core wings.

7. Hand crimp insulation wings (non-Weather Pack(R)). Hand crimp insulation wings around seal
and cable (Weather Pack(R)).

8. Solder all hand crimped terminals.

Circuit Schematics

CIRCUIT APPLICATION

Circuit schematics break the entire electrical system into individual circuits. Electrical components
that work together are shown together.

CURRENT FLOW

Each drawing is arranged so current flows from positive, at top of page to ground, at bottom. The
"hot" labels at the top of a fuse indicate when the ignition switch supplies power to that fuse.

CIRCUIT NETWORKING

Wires that connect to another circuit are shown with an arrowhead pointing in the direction of
current flow. The name of the circuit that shares the wiring is shown for reference.

POWER AND GROUND SUPPLY

"See Fuse Box Details" indicates there are connections to other circuits that are not shown. All
shared circuits are shown on the Fuse Box Details schematic. "See Ground Distribution" indicates
there are shared ground circuits which are shown on the ground distribution schematic.

CIRCUIT/COMPONENT LOCATION

No attempt is made to represent the location or proximity of components. If a wire is actually 4 foot
or 4 inches, it will be represented without regard in the schematic.

Component/Connector Location and I.D.

COMPONENT AND CONNECTOR LOCATION

Supplied with the wiring schematic is a component location index. The index lists the correct
photograph for the components and connectors listed. The photographs are illustrated in
COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

HARNESS ROUTING

Harness routing and selected connectors related to the system are illustrated in this section. The
connectors are illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

CONNECTOR I.D.

All connectors with more than 2 terminals are illustrated in this section. The connectors are
illustrated in COMPONENT/CONNECTOR I.D. AND LOCATION.

Fuse Box Details

The fuse box details schematic shows all the wiring between a fuse and the components
connected to the output side of the fuse. It shows what supplies power to the fuse and when it is
energized.

Ground Distribution

The ground distribution schematics show which components share a common ground point. This
information can be very helpful in diagnosing inoperative circuits. If more than one components are
not working and they share a common ground, it is likely the ground circuit is faulty. However, if
one of the circuits is operative and the other is not, you know the ground and the wire are good up
to a splice.

Light Switch Details

The light switch details schematic shows all the wiring between the light switch/relays and the
components connected to the output side of the light switch/relays.

Power Distribution

The Power distribution schematic shows the wiring from the battery and alternator to the:

- Starter solenoid - Fuse box - Light switch - Ignition switch - Fuse link

The first component after a fuse link is shown. In certain instances, the first component after a fuse
box, fuse and light switch is shown.

All fuses in the schematic are "Hot At All Times", since battery voltage is the direct source.

Electronic Component Handling

STATIC DISCHARGE

^ Discharge any static electrical charges before handling electronic parts by touching ground or
maintaining a ground connection to a bare skin area like the wrist.

^ Never touch the ECU connector pins, integrated circuit connector pins, or soldered components
on the ECU circuit board.

TESTING

^ When measuring voltage at the control unit harness connector, disconnect harness connector
with the ignition OFF, then turn ignition "ON" as necessary.

^ To prevent deforming control unit harness connectors, do not probe terminals directly. Instead,
insert a pin from the harness side and perform measurements through pin.

CONTROL UNIT DAMAGE

^ Do not try to disassemble the control unit.

^ Before performing electrical welding (for instance, spot welding), disconnect the battery, climate
control, injection, cruise control, ECU and radio.

^ If temperatures may exceed 176°F (80°C), (example: infra-red spray booth), remove all ECU's.

^ Avoid getting water on any of the Fuel and Engine Control System Components.

^ Never apply battery power to a component unless directed to do so in a test procedure.

Electronic Component Replacement

1. Before servicing electronic components, disconnect the battery ground.

NOTE: Before removing battery ground, access trouble codes. ECU memory will be erased if
ground cable is removed.

2. Fuel and Engine Control System wiring should be at least 4 inches away from ignition wires.

Battery Precautions

CAUTION: -

Never use a booster/starter which has a voltage rating above 12 volts to start engine.

- Always ensure the battery is properly connected to the vehicle prior to attempting to start engine.

- Don't disconnect the battery when the engine is running.

- When charging a battery, be sure battery cables are disconnected.

- The battery contains acid and produces explosive gas (hydrogen). Avoid creating sparks near
battery.

Electrical Connections and Circuits

1. Fully release connector locks prior to disconnecting. Ensure connectors are fully seated and all
insulators and shields are in place when reinstalling.
2. Never connect or disconnect electrical connections with the ignition switch in the "ON" position
unless specifically directed to do so in a test procedure.

3. Do not use a self powered test lamp to check continuity.

4. Do not create any arcing to check the continuity of a circuit.

Electrostatic Discharge

ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE

Electronic components used in automotive computers are designed to operate at very low voltages
(3-5V), and are extremely susceptible to damage caused by static electrical discharge. Voltages as
low as 12 volts can damage computer circuits. By comparison, it takes as much as 4,000 volts of
static discharge for a person to even feel the "ZAP", and there is no way of knowing whether the
charge is positive or negative in nature.

There are several ways in which a person can become statically charged. The most common
methods of charging are by friction and induction.

CHARGING BY FRICTION

Friction between organic materials (such as cotton or leather) and synthetics (such as plastic, vinyl,
or glass) will generate static charges as great as 25,000 volts. This can happen by simply sliding
across a car seat or by wearing a cotton shirt under a coat made of synthetic materials.

CHARGING BY INDUCTION

Charging by induction occurs when a person standing near a highly charged object (strong
magnetic field such as a transformer) momentarily touches ground. Like charges are displaced to
ground, leaving the person highly charged with opposite polarity.

PRECAUTIONS

Static charges are gradually equalized by moisture in the air, but are retained much longer when
humidity is low. Use care when handling and

testing electronic components.

Proper Tools and Testing Procedures

DIGITAL VOLT/OHM METER

Use a digital volt/ohm meter (DVOM) with a minimum 10 mega-ohms internal impedance when
testing an ECU or related components, unless use of an analog meter is specified by a testing
procedure. Analog meters have low internal impedance and cause circuit "loading" in low voltage
circuits, resulting in inaccurate measurements and possible damage to components. Use of a
DVOM is necessary to obtain accurate measurements and avoid damaging low voltage ECU
circuits and components.

TESTING PROCEDURES

Always follow recommended testing procedures. Never ground or apply voltage to a circuit unless
specified by a testing procedure. ECU's provide a regulated constant low voltage source to some
circuits, which may require a minimum resistance (impedance) to operate. Directly grounding or
applying battery power to these circuits could damage the ECU and cause a system failure.

Finding Short Circuits

Meter Types

1. Use a digital or analog multimeter with a minimum 10k ohm resistance.

2. Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads for that circuit.

Circuit Protection Devices

PURPOSE

The purpose of circuit protection is to protect the wiring assembly during normal and overload
conditions. An overload is defined as a current requirement that is higher than normal. This
overload could be caused by a short circuit or system malfunction. The short circuit could be the
result of a pinched or cut wire or an internal device short circuit, such as an electronic module
failure. The circuit protection device is only applied to protect the wiring assembly, and not the
electrical load at the end of the assembly. For example, if an electronic component short circuits,
the circuit protection device will assure a minimal amount of damage to the wiring assembly.
However, it will not necessarily prevent damage to the component.

CIRCUIT PROTECTION DEVICES

There are three basic types of circuit protection devices: Circuit Breaker, Fuse and Fusible Link.

CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A circuit breaker is a protective device designed to open the circuit when a current load is in excess
of rated breaker capacity. If there is a short or other type of overload condition in the circuit, the
excessive current will open the circuit between the circuit breaker terminals. There are two basic
types of circuit breakers used in this vehicle: cycling and non-cycling.

Cycling Circuit Breaker


The cycling breaker will open due to heat generated when excessive current passes through it for a
period of time. Once the circuit breaker cools, it will close again after a few seconds. If the cause of
the high current is still present it will open again. It will continue to cycle open and closed until the
condition causing the high current is removed.

Non-Cycling Circuit Breaker

There are two types of non-cycling circuit breakers. One type is mechanical and is nearly the same
as a cycling breaker. The difference is a small heater wire within the non-cycling circuit breaker.
This wire provides enough heat to keep the bimetallic element open until the current source is
removed. The other type is solid state, known as an Electronic Circuit Breaker (ECB). This device
has a Positive Temperature Coefficient. It increases its resistance greatly when excessive current
passes through it. The excessive current heats the ECB. As it heats, its resistance increases,
therefore having a Positive Temperature Coefficient. Eventually the resistance gets so high that the
circuit is effectively open. The EC13 will not reset until the circuit is opened, removing voltage from
its terminals. Once voltage is removed, the circuit breaker will re-close within a second or two.

Fig. 1 Fuse Devices


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4795
Fig. 2 Fuse Rating and Color

FUSES

The most common method of automotive wiring circuit protection is the fuse, Fig. 1. A fuse is a
device that, by the melting of its element, opens an electrical circuit when the current exceeds a
given level for a sufficient time. The action is non-reversible and the fuse must be replaced each
time a circuit is overloaded or after a malfunction is repaired. Fuses are color coded. The
standardized color identification and ratings are shown in Fig. 2. For service replacement,
non-color coded fuses of the same respective current rating can be used. Examine a suspect fuse
for a break in the element. If the element is broken or melted, replace the fuse with one of equal
current rating. There are additional specific circuits with in-line fuses. These fuses are located
within the individual wiring harness and will appear to be an open circuit if blown.

Autofuse

The Autofuse, normally referred to simply as "Fuse," is the most common circuit protection device
in today's vehicle. The Autofuse is most often used to protect the wiring assembly between the
Fuse Block and the system components.

Maxifuse

The Maxifuse was designed to replace the fusible link and Pacific Fuse Elements. The Maxifuse is
designed to protect cables, normally between the Battery and Fuse Block, from both direct short
circuits and resistive short circuits. Compared to a fusible link or a Pacific Fuse Element, the
Maxifuse performs much more like an Autofuse, although the average opening time is slightly
longer. This is because the Maxifuse was designed to be a slower blowing fuse, with less chance
of nuisance blows.

Minifuse

The Minifuse is a smaller version of the Autofuse and has a similar performance. As with the
Autofuse, the Minifuse is usually used to protect the wiring assembly between a Fuse Block and
system components. Since the Minifuse is a smaller device, it allows for more system specific
fusing to be accomplished within the same amount of space as Autofuses.

Pacific Fuse Element

The Pacific Fuse Element was developed to be a replacement for the fusible link. Like a fusible
link, the fuse element is designed to protect

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4796

wiring from a direct short to ground. Though the element is easier to service and inspect than a
fusible link, it has limited use and will be replaced by Maxifuses in future vehicles.

Fig. 3 Good and Damaged Fusible Links


Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

FUSIBLE LINKS

In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like
fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit, Fig.
3. Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. Always inspect that there is
battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity. Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in
wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes, each fusible
link is four wire gage sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a
10 gage wire use a 14 gage link or for metric, to protect a 5 sq mm wire use a 2 sq mm link, Fig. 6.
Links are marked on the insulation with wire gage size because the heavy insulation makes the link
appear to be a heavier gage than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when
replacing a blown fusible link. Fusible links are available with three types of insulation: Hypalon(R),
Silicone/GXL (SIL/GXL) and Expanded Duty. All future vehicles that use fusible links will utilize the
Expanded Duty type of fusible link. When servicing fusible links, all fusible links can be replaced
with the Expanded Duty type. SIL/GXI fusible links can be used to replace either SIL/GXI or
Hypalon(R) fusible links. Hypalon(R) fusible links can only be used to replace Hypalon(R) fusible
links.

Determining characteristics of the types of fusible links:

^ Hypalon(R) (limited use): only available in .35 sq mm or smaller and its insulation is one color all
the way through.

^ SIL/GXL (widely used): available in all sizes and has a white inner core under the outer color of
insulation.

^ Expanded Duty: available in all sizes, has an insulation that is one color all the way through and
has three dots following the writing on the insulation.

Service fusible links are available in many lengths. Choose the shortest length that is suitable. If
the fusible link is to be cut from a spool, it should be cut 150-225 mm (approx 6-9 in.) long. NEVER
make a fusible link longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.).

CAUTION: Fusible links cut longer than 225 mm (approx 9 in.) will not provide sufficient overload
protection.

Fig. 4 Single Wire Feed Fusible Link

Fig. 5 Double Wire Feed Fusible Link

SERVICE PROCEDURE

- To replace a damaged fusible link, Fig. 4, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link.
When connecting the repair link, strip wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely
in two places. For more details on splicing procedures, see SPLICING COPPER WIRE. Use Crimp
and Seal splices whenever possible.

- To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the
splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each harness wire, Fig. 5.

Typical Electrical Repair

An open circuit is an incomplete circuit. Power cannot reach the load or reach ground. If a circuit is
open, active components do not energize. A short circuit is an unwanted connection between one
part of the circuit and either ground or another part of the circuit. A short circuit causes a fuse to
blow or a circuit breaker to open.

SHORT CIRCUITS CAUSED BY DAMAGED WIRE INSULATION

- Locate the damaged wire.

- Find and correct the cause of the wire insulation damage.

- For minor damage, tape over the wire. If damage is more extensive, replace the faulty segment of
the wire (Refer to the splicing instructions for copper or shielded cable for the correct splicing
procedure).

Splicing Copper Wire Using Splice Clips

The Splice Clip is a general purpose wire repair device. It may not be acceptable for applications
having special requirements such as moisture sealing.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). If the harness has a black
plastic conduit, simply pull out the desired wire.
Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4798
Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of the wire
later if you decide to cut more wire off to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust
splice locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1-1/2") away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors.

Fig. 6 Wire Size Conversion Table

Step 3: Strip the Insulation

When replacing a wire, use a wire of the same size as the original wire or larger. The schematics
list wire size in metric units. See table, Fig. 6, for the commercial (AWG) wire sizes that can be
used to replace each metric wire size. Each AWG size is either equal to or larger than the
equivalent metric size. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the AWG size, or use an AWG wire gage. If you aren't sure of the wire
size, start with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires.

Fig. 9 Completing the Crimp

Step 4: Crimp the Wires

Select the proper clip to secure the splice. To determine the proper clip size for the wire being
spliced, follow the directions included in the J 38125-A Terminal Repair Kit. Select the correct anvil
on the crimper. On most crimpers your choice is limited to either a small or large anvil. Overlap the
stripped wire ends and hold them between your thumb and forefinger as shown in Fig. 7. Then,
center the splice clip under the stripped wires and hold it in place. ^

Open the crimping tool to its full width and rest one handle on a firm flat surface.

^ Center the back of the splice clip on the proper anvil and close the crimping tool to the point
where the former touches the wings of the clip.

^ Make sure that the clip and wires are still in the correct position. Then, apply steady pressure until
the crimping tool closes, Fig. 8.

^ Before crimping the ends of the clip, be sure that: -

The wires extend beyond the clip in each direction.

- No strands of wire are cut loose, and

- No insulation is caught under the clip. Crimp the splice again, once on each end. Do not let the
crimping tool extend beyond the edge of the clip or you may damage or nick the wires, Fig. 9.

Step 5: Solder

Apply 60/40 rosin core solder to the opening in the back of the clip, Fig. 10. Follow the
manufacturer's instruction for the solder equipment you are using.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4800
Fig. 11 Proper First Taping

Fig. 12 Proper Second Taping

Step 6: Tape the Splice

Center and roll the splicing tape. The tape should cover the entire splice. Roll on enough tape to
duplicate the thickness of the insulation on the existing wires. Do not flag the tape. Flagged tape
may not provide enough insulation, and the nagged ends will tangle with the other wires in the
harness, Fig. 11. If the wire does not belong in a conduit or other harness covering, tape the wire
again. Use a winding motion to cover the first piece of tape, Fig. 12.

Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp and Seal Splice Sleeves

Crimp and Seal splice sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial to
form a one to one splice. They are to be used where there are special requirements such as
moisture scaling.

Step 1: Open the Harness

If the harness is taped, remove the tape. To avoid wire insulation damage, use a sewing "seam
ripper" to cut open the harness (available from sewing supply stores). The Crimp and Seal splice
sleeves may be used on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial and may only be used to
form a one to one splice.

Step 2: Cut the Wire

Begin by cutting as little wire off the harness as possible. You may need the extra length of wire
later if you decide to cut more wire to change the location of a splice. You may have to adjust splice
locations to make certain that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in.) away from other splices,
harness branches or connectors. This will help prevent moisture from bridging adjacent splices and
causing damage.

Step 3: Strip the Insulation


Isuzu Rodeo (4wd) Workshop Manual (V6-3165cc 3.2L SOHC (6VD1) (1993))
Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windows > Power Window Motor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4801

If it is necessary to add a length of wire to the existing harness, be certain to use the same size as
the original wire, see Fig. 6. To find the correct wire size either find the wire on the schematic and
convert the metric size to the equivalent AWG size or use an AWG wire gage. If unsure about the
wire size, begin with the largest opening in the wire stripper and work down until a clean strip of the
insulation is removed. Strip approximately 7.5 mm (5/16 in.) of insulation from each wire to be
spliced. Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the wires. Check the stripped wire for nicks or
cut strands. If the wire is damaged, repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.

Fig. 13 Hand Crimp Tool

Fig. 14 Seal Splice Sequence

Step 4: Select and Position the Splice Sleeve


Select the proper splice sleeve according to wire size. The splice sleeves and tool nests are color
coded. Using a crimp tool, Fig. 13, position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand
crimp tool. Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the
barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel to prevent the wire from going
further, Fig. 14. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the
proper nest.

Step 5: Insert Wires into Splice Sleeve and Crimp

Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimper
tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until the
proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for opposite end of
the splice.

Step 6: Shrink the Insulation around the Splice

Using a suitable heat gun, apply heat where the barrel is crimped. Gradually move the heat barrel
to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing completely as the heat is moved along the
insulation. A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient
shrinking is achieved, Fig. 14.

Splicing Twisted/Shielded Cable

Fig. 15 Twisted/Shielded Cable

Twisted/shielded cable is sometimes used to protect wiring from electrical noise (stray signals). For
example, two-conductor cable of this construction is used between the ECM and the distributor.
See Fig. 15 for a breakdown of twisted/shielded cable construction.

Step 1: Remove Outer Jacket

Remove the outer jacket and discard it. Be careful to avoid cutting into the drain wire or the mylar
tape.

Step 2: Unwrap the Tape

Unwrap the aluminum/mylar tape, but do not remove it. The tape will be used to rewrap the twisted
conductors after the splices have been made.

Fig. 16 The Untwisted Conductors

Step 3: Prepare the Splice

Untwist the conductors. Then, prepare the splice by following the splicing instructions for copper
wire presented earlier. Remember to stagger splices to avoid shorts, Fig. 16.

Fig. 17 The Re-assembled Cable

Step 4: Re-assemble the Cable

After you have spliced and taped each wire, rewrap the conductors with the mylar tape. Be careful
to avoid wrapping the drain wire in the tape. Next, splice the drain wire following the splicing
instructions for copper wire. Then, wrap the drain wire around the conductors and mylar tape, Fig.
17.

Fig. 18 Proper Taping

Step 5: Tape the Cable

Tape over the entire cable using a winding motion, Fig. 18. This tape will replace the section of the
jacket you removed to make the repair.

Repairing Connectors

The following general repair procedures can be used to repair most types of connectors. The repair
procedures are divided into three general groups: Push-to-Seat and Pull-to-Seat and Weather
Pack.

^ See CONNECTOR TERMINAL I.D. to determine which type of connector is to be serviced.

^ Use the proper Pick(s) or Tool(s) that apply to the terminal.

PUSH-TO-SEAT AND PULL-TO-SEAT

Follow the steps below to repair Push-to-Seat or Pull-to-Seat connectors, Figs. 19 and 20. The
steps are illustrated with typical connectors. Your connector may differ, but the repair steps are
similar. Some connectors do not require all the steps shown. Skip those that don't apply.

1. Remove any CPA (Connector Position Assurance) Locks. CPAs are designed to retain
connectors when mated.

2. Remove any TPA (Terminal Position Assurance) Locks. TPAs are designed to keep the terminal
from backing out of the connector.

NOTE: The TPA must be removed prior to terminal removal and must be replaced when the
terminal is repaired and reseated.

3. Open any secondary locks. A secondary lock aids in terminal retention and is usually molded to
the connector.

4. Separate the connector halves and back out seals.

5. Grasp the lead and push the terminal to the forward most position. Hold the lead at this position.

6. Locate the terminal lock tang in the connector canal.

7. Insert the proper size pick straight into the connector canal at the mating end of the connector.

8. Depress the locking tang to unseat the terminal. Push-to-Seat - Gently pull on the lead to
remove the terminal through the back of the connector. Pull-to-Seat - Gently push on the lead to
remove the terminal through the front of the connector.

NOTE: Never use force to remove a terminal from a connector.

9. Inspect terminal and connector for damage. Repair as necessary, see TERMINAL REPAIR.

10. Reform lock tang and reseat terminal in connector body. Apply grease if connector was
originally equipped with grease.

11. Install any CPAs or TPAs, close any secondary locks and join connector halves.

SERVICE INFORMATION

Safety glass as the word says it provides some form of protection for occupants in automobiles.
From the introduction of the windshield in the early 1900's, there have been so much importance
placed on the windshield from hue/road debris deflectors to becoming an important part of the
vehicle's safety structure. The early windshields may have provided a more comfortable drive, but
once flying debris strikes the windshield, the windshield is fractured causing dangerous glass
fragments to fly into the cabin and possibly injuring the occupants. Today's windshields has been
engineered with more advanced technology giving it enough strength to prevent occupant(s) in the
vehicle from being thrown out of the windshield and resiliency to reduce injury in case of occupant
impact on to the windshield.

There are two types of commonly used automotive safety glass. They are laminated glass and
tempered glass, which will be covered in this bulletin. Also, covered in this bulletin are valuable
information for safe use and handling of automotive safety glass.

Glass Properties

1. The basic ingredients of glass are silica sand, soda ash, and limestone. More ingredients are
added depending on the glass application. As basic a glass may seem, glass also requires some
maintenance to provide the longevity in its usefulness. Dirt, sand and airborne dust particles may
contain metals and substances that are harder than glass. Glass (i.e.. automobile windshield. etc.)
can be damaged/scratched from dirt, sand and airborne dust particles that may come in contact
with it if not removed. Dirty wiper blades imbedded with dirt; sand and airborne dust particles can
damage the front windshield if used without first rinsing the windshield clear of them.

2. Glass subject to external forces may be damaged from scratches. or break as a result of high
impact on the glass.

There are two types of commonly used automotive safety glass. They are laminated glass and
tempered glass.

(1) Laminated Glass*

Laminated glass is a type of glass with a tough plastic film (Poly Vinyl Butyral a.k.a. PVB) is
sandwiched between two sheets of glass bonded together in a vacuum under controlled
temperature and pressure forming a single sheet, to provide a high degree of safety. This is
followed by extensive tests prior to receiving clearance for usage. Laminated glass (used for
automotive windshields) found in practically all automobiles produced, are part of current safety
regulations for production vehicles.

*Properties of Laminated Glass:

^ The interlayer cuts ultraviolet rays.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Safety Glass - Identification & Maintenance > Page 4812

^ The plastic interlayer adhesion prevents the two glass layers from splitting and shattering into the
cabin (resulting in occupant injuries). This ensures undistracted driver field of vision, thus lessens
possible injuries.

^ The automobile windshield (made of laminated glass) is designed to break but not shatter, will
absorb the impact (lessening bodily injuries) of the human body in the event of an accident
(head-on collision) than tempered glass.

(2) Tempered Glass**

Tempered glass consists of a tensile stress layer sandwiched between two compressive stress
lavers. This three-layer glass is produced by heating a glass plate to its softening point (approx.
700°C) and quenching it with air. Tempered glass is used in automobiles for side door windows,
backlight windows, rear quarter windows. sun-roof/moon-roof glass and other windows except the
front windshield.

**Properties of Tempered Glass

^ The outer layer (compressive stress layer) of the tempered glass resists given external forces
(tensile forces). This layer gives the tempered glass three to five times impact strength than a
normal glass plate of the same thickness.

^ The tempered glass will shatter into small particles (with no sharp edges) if breakage occurs to
reduce possible injuries.

^ Tempered glass can resist sudden temperature changes (thermal shock).

Scenarios of Damaged Front Windshields (Laminated Glass)

Breakage in Laminated Glass

Scenario: A crack is found on the windshield after returning to a parked vehicle.


Cause: A small scratch on the windshield was unnoticed, which developed into a crack. This may
have developed as a stress crack emanating from vehicle load stress concentrating on the
vehicle's weakest point (the windshield).

NOTE:

A flying pebble may have caused the scratch (which mainly occurs from the external surfaces of
the glass.

Why cracks develop? Cracks develop when stress is applied to the impact site. The impact site is
the actual location of the outer glass layer where an object (i.e., flying pebble) struck the
windshield, chipping away a small piece of glass.

Stress is defined as:

^ Vibrations result from wind pressure while the vehicle is moving.

^ Vehicle body stress from turning and moving (i.e., rolling, pitching and yawing).

^ Thermal stress (temperature difference between interior and exterior temperatures of the
vehicle).

Here is an example of a scratch caused by a flying pebble on the windshield.

PREVENTATIVE TIPS FOR WINDSHIELD CARE:

[ ] Select a parking location where the vehicle is not exposed to potential hazards from flying
pebbles or gravel.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Safety Glass - Identification & Maintenance > Page 4813
[ ] Avoid driving behind trucks at a close distance, especially the ones that haul gravel. (Truck tires
may sometimes-pickup loose gravel/pebble in its tire

grooves and may sling shot to your windshield.)

Scratches on Laminated Glass

Instructions for Proper Handling of Laminated Glass

Laminated glass should be kept away from high heat or heat generating equipment/appliance
during transport and/or storage. The interlayer may bubble or become deformed it left exposed to
high heat.

Scenarios of Damaged Backlight Glass and Door Glass (Tempered Glass)

[ ] The glass broke while the vehicle was being driven.

[ ] The glass broke while parked for a short time.

Isuzu Workshop Manuals > Windows and Glass > Windshield > Component Information > Technical Service Bulletins >
Safety Glass - Identification & Maintenance > Page 4814

[ ] The glass broke when the door was closed.

[ ] The glass has scratches on the inner-side that is visible from the outside.

Causes: Several causes may play a factor to tempered glass (i.e., backlight glass or door glass)
damage during vehicle operation or on a parked vehicle.

^ Impact of flying pebble causing a scratch. (See Scenario 1 and 2).

^ Various stress factors from wind pressure and vibrations while operating the vehicle are
continually applied to the "unnoticed" scratch (from the flying pebble) until the scratch reaches the
inner tensile stress layer, will lead to glass breakage. (See Scenario 1 and 2)

Scenario 1: Damage reaches the inner tensile stress layer of the tempered glass to cause
breakage.

Scenario 2: At the initial impact, damage remains in the outer compressive stress layer. While
operating the vehicle, various stress factors from wind pressure and vibrations are continually
applied to the scratch (from the flying pebble) until the scratch reaches the inner tensile stress
layer, that leads to glass breakage.
