transmission help needed

how do u read the codes i know the check engine will flase but how do u know what the code is by that

[Y33TREKker]

Clicking on the "reading VX trouble codes" link I included in my last response will take you to a thread that explains the procedure for reading codes and determining what they mean.

how do u read the codes i know the check engine will flase but how do u know what the code is by that

go to your local autozone/napa and have them read the code..right it down and come back here and do a search.. the codes will be numerical ie: P0401 0r P01400 and such

[rureadyto69]

the check engine light is on and so is the tod light but autozone either didn't know how to get a code off it or they just couldn't get one off it so i'm at a loss

[Solitude]

Theres an eprom underneath your dash, they should have a code retriever for the CEL, it plugs in and the code is retrieved on a scanner type box that they should carry, sorry if this didnt help

[rureadyto69]

ya they did that but they said everything was fine

[johnny010]

did you check to see if you need to replace your intake gaskets?

seems to be a common issue that makes the check engine light come on.

[etlsport]

if your check engine light is on there should be a code.. the tod light you have to check with an isuzu dealership tool or by "hotwiring" your data port under the dash.. i forget which pins you are supposed to connect but do a search for "abs code" and im sure you will find the instructions


if they cant get a "P" code for the check engine light (or turn it off, even momentarily) check the fuse for your horn under the hood, if that blows, the data port under the dash stops working

finally got autozone to pull a code they say it's the o2 sensor after the cat. I don't really think thats right at all

[Solitude]

well this started as a transmission issue, and now its an 02 sensor,

after rereading part of the thread, You have issues when it gets wet.

My issues from over saturation of the underside are that the TOD freaks out, which basically points to speed sensors grounding out from the water.

some of the most common codes have to do with the MAF and EGR cleanliness.

There is a neutral safety switch on ebay if you check..was there the otherday anyway

don't forget that your fuel pressure regulator can go bad

your windows have a tendancy to tilt if they aren't lubricated and fixed with the window fix from SBC and the abs module can go out at a moments notice,

These vehicles were HALO's a concept to production customer generating overpriced performance utility vehicle.

They aren't gonna be perfect.. especially since they were discontinued after 2001 and only 4153 (debatable) were produced in a 3 year US run.. not to include the JDMs

There is an awesome search function here that will just about pull up anything you might want to know.. and the archives are included in the search. The site is an awesome source of info.. us it to its fullest

Happy New Year

Just about any parts store will give you a free code reading {auto zone o'rielies } but as for the fuel flow I had to replace three sensors iac sensor has to do with fuel flow throttle sensor and a mass air and a fuel pump Two of the sensors came at once and all the rest one at a time. Check the fuel pump by checking fuel pressure with the motor under a load, mine ran ok slow or babying it but when you needed to go it would fall on its face lost pressure under a load. Fuel rail should carry about 43lbs of pressure at a idle. Hope I helped

[rureadyto69]

yes and the only thing that comes up is the o2 sensor and i've replaced them all and the problem is still there

[garfull]

i get the same cel for the o2 sensor on the passenger side right next to the trans in the totally pain in the asrsh place. ive had the shop replace it twice. but the cpu is not getting an signal from the sensor i suspect the mustve yanked on the connector too hard. if it were in a better location and the o2 sensors where cheaper i would fix it. but i drive it probably once a week so ive been lazy to fix. my mpgs havent been affect so im going to let it be for now.

i did started noticing that it would happen in the winter months. we have different blends on gas in the winter than in the summer.

[rureadyto69]

still no luck with it i found someone today that wants it so i think i'm just goin to unload i really hate to see it go for just a simple problem though
