Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - 1993 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - Stylus - Fuel Injection - 1.6L & 1.8L

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - INTRODUCTION

NOTE:

Assembly Line Data Link (ALDL) connector may also be referred to as Data Link Connector (DLC). The term CHECK ENGINE light is now referred to as Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). The MIL is displayed in instrument cluster as CHECK ENGINE. Electronic Control Module (ECM) may also be referred to as Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

If no faults were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - SELF-DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM HARD FAILURES

Hard failures cause CHECK ENGINE light to illuminate and remain on until problem is repaired. If light comes on and remains on (light may flash) during vehicle operation, cause of malfunction must be determined using diagnostic (code) charts. If a sensor fails, Electronic Control Module (ECM) will use a substitute value in its calculations to continue engine operation. In this condition, commonly known as limp-in mode, the vehicle runs but driveability will not be optimum.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - INTERMITTENT FAILURES

Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker or illuminate and go out after intermittent fault goes away. However, the corresponding trouble code will be retained in Electronic Control Module (ECM) memory. If related fault does not reoccur within a certain time frame, related trouble code will be erased from ECM memory. Intermittent failures may be caused by sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - RETRIEVING CODES

NOTE:

Trouble codes may also be referred to as DTC(s) or codes. Codes can also be retrieved using a scan tester.

1. The CHECK ENGINE light will come on when ignition is on and engine is not running. When engine is started, CHECK ENGINE light should go off. If light remains on while engine is running, a trouble code is present.
2. If light did not come on with key on and engine off, the CHECK ENGINE light circuit must be checked before continuing. See DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK under CODE CHARTS. Circuit checks are located with code charts.
3. To retrieve codes, install jumper wire between terminals No. 1 and No. 3 of ALDL connector located behind passenger's side kick panel. See Fig. 1 .

4. Turn ignition on and count number of flashes from CHECK ENGINE light. All codes will be repeated 3 times. See Fig. 2 . Each additional code will flash 3 times starting with lowest code to the highest.
5. If system is operating properly (with no trouble codes present), a Code 12 should be displayed with ignition on and engine off. This indicates the diagnostic system is capable of storing codes.
6. Each individual code will be repeated 3 times and then display the next code. See Fig. 2 . Once all codes are displayed, codes will be repeated. Remove jumper wire from ALDL connector after codes have been retrieved.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CLEARING TROUBLE CODES

CAUTION:

Ensure ignition is off when disconnecting or reconnecting power supply to ECM. To locate ECM, see ECM LOCATIONS table.

1. After repairs are performed, clear ECM memory of all stored trouble codes. To clear memory, turn ignition off and remove ECM fuse (30A) from engine compartment fuse block for at least 30 seconds. Replace fuse.
2. After clearing trouble codes, confirm that system will operate in closed loop mode and ensure that CHECK ENGINE light functions properly.

NOTE:

Trouble codes can also be cleared by disconnecting vehicle battery. However, other memory functions (clock, radio, etc.), will require resetting.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK

The diagnostic circuit check will identify a problem created by an Electronic Engine Control System (EECS) malfunction. It is the starting point for diagnosis. This directs you to the next logical step in diagnosing a complaint.

After completing diagnostic circuit check and finding on-board diagnostics functioning properly with no trouble codes displayed, use SCAN DATA table for comparison. The typical values are an average of display values recorded from a properly operating vehicle, and are intended to represent a normal system display.

NOTE:

Only parameters supplied by manufacturer are used in this article. If a scan tester reads other parameters, values are not recommended by manufacturer for diagnostic use. A scan tester displaying faulty data should not be used, or a misdiagnosis will occur. Report problem to scan tester manufacturer.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CHART A-1 - NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

There should always be a steady CHECK ENGINE light when ignition is on and engine is stopped. Battery voltage is supplied to bulb through C7 fuse. The Electronic Control Module (ECM) turns the light on by providing a ground path through Violet wire.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Battery voltage at circuit No. 240 is protected by a fusible link, located in relay/fuse box under the hood, near the battery.
2. If voltage is present on circuit No. 240, check for faulty ECM ground or ECM.
3. Using a test light connected to 12 volts, probe each system ground circuit to ensure a good ground is present.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

Engine Runs Okay - Check for a faulty light bulb, open in circuit No. 419 or defective C7 (10-amp) fuse. This will result in no oil or alternator lights, seat belt reminder, etc.

Engine Cranks, But Will Not Run - Check for open in battery fuse or fusible link, ECM ignition fuse, battery circuit No. 240 to ECM, ignition circuit No. 439 to ECM, or poor connection at ECM.

Fig. 5: Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Component Locations - Chart A-1 - Diagnostic Flowchart

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CHART A-2 - NO ALDL DATA OR WILL NOT FLASH CODE 12 (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON STEADY)

There should always be a steady CHECK ENGINE light when ignition is on and engine is off. Battery voltage is supplied to the bulb by the ECM, which activates the light by grounding Violet wire. With diagnostic terminal grounded, light should flash a Code 12, followed by any trouble codes stored in memory. A steady light could be a short to ground in the light control circuit No. 419 (Violet wire), or an open in diagnostic circuit No. 451 (Orange/Yellow wire).

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. If a problem exists with the ECM that causes a scan tester not to read serial data, ECM should NOT flash a Code 12. If Code 12 does flash, ensure scan tester is working properly on another vehicle. If scan tester is functioning properly and circuit No. 461 (serial data) is okay, the ECM may be at fault.
2. If light goes off when ECM connector is disconnected, circuit No. 419 is NOT shorted to ground.
3. This tests for an open in circuit No. 451 (diagnostic enable).
4. At this point, CHECK ENGINE light wiring is okay. The problem is a faulty ECM. If Code 12 does not flash, replace ECM.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 13 (SOHC) - O2 SENSOR (NON-HEATED SENSOR) OPEN/SHORTED CIRCUIT

The ECM supplies a .45 volt signal between terminals D6 and D7. When O2 sensor reaches operating temperature, it varies this voltage from approximately .1-.9 volt (lean to rich exhaust). O2 sensor does not produce voltage when temperature is less than 600?F (316?C) or when engine operates in open loop.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Code 13 will set if all the following conditions are met for 255 seconds:
   • Engine temperature is greater than 157?F (69.5?C).
   • Engine has been running for at least 50 seconds after start.
   • O2 signal voltage steady between .35 and .55 volt.
   • Throttle angle greater than 8 percent.

   If conditions for Code 13 exist, system will not go into closed loop.

2. This determines if sensor, wiring or ECM is the cause of Code 13.
3. Use only a high impedance (10-megohm) digital volt-ohmmeter. This tests continuity of circuits No. 412 and 413. If circuit No. 413 is open, ECM voltage on circuit No. 412 will be greater than .6 volt.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

Normal scan tester voltage varies between .1-1.0 volts while in closed loop. Code 13 sets after approximately one minute if voltage remains between .35 and .55 volt, but system will enter open loop in approximately 15 seconds. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 13 (DOHC) - O2 SENSOR (HEATED SENSOR) OPEN/SHORTED CIRCUIT

The ECM supplies a .45 volt signal between terminals D6 and D7. When O2 sensor reaches operating temperature, it varies this voltage from approximately .1-.9 volt (lean to rich exhaust). O2 sensor does not produce voltage when temperature is less than 600?F (316?C) or when engine operates in open loop.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Code 13 will set if all the following conditions are met for 4 seconds:
   • Engine temperature is greater than 157?F (69.5?C).
   • Engine has been running for at least 2 minutes after start.
   • O2 signal voltage steady between .420 and .547 volt.
   • Throttle angle greater than 10 percent.

   If conditions for Code 13 exist, system will not go into closed loop.

2. This determines if sensor, wiring or ECM is the cause of Code 13.
3. Use only a high impedance (10-megohm) digital volt-ohmmeter. This tests continuity of circuits from terminals D6 and D7. If circuit from terminal D6 is open, ECM voltage on circuit from terminal D7 will be greater than .6 volt.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

Normal scan tester voltage varies between .1-1.0 volts while in closed loop. Code 13 sets after approximately one minute if voltage remains between .347 and .547 volt, but system will enter open loop in approximately 15 seconds.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 14A - CTS CIRCUIT (HIGH TEMPERATURE INDICATED)

Coolant temperature sensor uses a thermistor to control signal voltage to the ECM. The ECM applies voltage on Gray/Black wire to the sensor. When engine is cold, thermistor resistance is high and ECM will see a high signal voltage.

As engine warms, thermistor resistance is less and ECM will see a low signal voltage. When engine reaches normal operating temperature, signal voltage will be approximately 1.5-2.0 volts at ECM terminal No. A11. Coolant temperature is an input used by the ECM to control fuel delivery, Electronic Spark Control (EST), idle speed and cooling fan.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if code set because of a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 14A sets if signal voltage indicates a coolant temperature greater than 275?F (135?C) for 255 seconds.
2. This simulates conditions for Code 14B. If ECM sees open circuit (high voltage) and displays low coolant temperature, ECM and wiring are okay.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

After engine is started, engine coolant temperature should rise to approximately 194?F (90?C) and stabilize when thermostat opens. If engine is allowed to cool overnight, coolant temperature and Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) should read nearly the same with a scan tester. When Code 14A is set, the ECM turns on the cooling fan. Code 14A results if circuit No. 410 is shorted to ground. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

As engine warms, thermistor resistance is less and ECM will see a low signal voltage. When engine reaches normal operating temperature, signal voltage will be approximately 1.5-2.0 volts at ECM terminal No. A11. Coolant temperature is an input used by the ECM to control fuel delivery, Electronic Spark Control (EST), idle speed and cooling fan.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if code set because of a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 14B sets if signal voltage indicates a coolant temperature less than -22?F (-30?C) after engine has been running for 255 seconds.
2. This simulates conditions for Code 14A. If ECM sees grounded circuit (low voltage) and displays high coolant temperature, the ECM and wiring are okay.
3. This procedure will determine if wiring or ECM is faulty.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 21A - TPS CIRCUIT (SIGNAL VOLTAGE HIGH)

Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) provides a voltage signal which changes relative to throttle opening. Signal voltage varies from less than .9 volt at idle to approximately 4.5 volts at wide open throttle. The TPS signal is used by ECM for fuel control and most ECM controlled outputs.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if Code 21A is from a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 21A will set if the following conditions are present for 2 seconds:
   • TPS reading is greater than 2.5 volts.
   • Engine speed is less than 1750 RPM.
   • MAP sensor vacuum reading is less than 50 kPa
2. This step simulates conditions for a Code 21B. If ECM recognizes the change, the ECM and circuits No. 416 and 417 are okay.
3. This step isolates a faulty sensor, ECM or an open in circuit No. 452. If open is present in circuit No. 452, Code 23A may also be present.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

With throttle closed, TPS voltage should be less than 1.25 volts. TPS voltage should steadily increase as throttle is opened. Code 21A will result if circuit No. 452 is open or circuit No. 417 is shorted to voltage. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

1. This determines if Code 21B is from a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 21B will set if engine is running and TPS reading is less than .2 volt (200 mV).
2. This step simulates conditions for a Code 21A. If Code 21A is set, or scan tester displays greater than 4 volts, ECM and wiring are okay.
3. Scan tester may not display 12 volts, but ECM recognizes the voltage as greater than 4 volts, indicating that circuit No. 417 and ECM are okay.
4. If circuit No. 416 is open or shorted to ground, a Code 33B may also be stored.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

With throttle closed, TPS voltage should be less than 1.25 volts. TPS voltage should steadily increase as throttle is opened. Code 21B will result if circuit No. 416 or 417 is open or grounded. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 23A - MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE (MAT) SENSOR CIRCUIT (LOW TEMPERATURE INDICATED)

The MAT sensor uses a thermistor to control signal voltage to the ECM. The ECM applies 4-6 volts on circuit No. 472 to MAT sensor. When manifold air is cold, sensor resistance is high and ECM will see a high voltage. As air temperature increases, sensor resistance decreases and the voltage drops.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if Code 23A is result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 23A will set if engine is running longer than 255 seconds and signal voltage indicates a MAT temperature below -22?F (-30?C).
2. This step simulates conditions for a Code 23B. If scan tester displays a high temperature, ECM and wiring are okay.
3. This step checks continuity of circuits No. 452 and 472. If circuit No. 452 is open, a Code 21A may be present.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

If engine is allowed to cool overnight, coolant temperature and Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) should read nearly the same with scan tester. A Code 23A results if an open is present in circuit No. 452 or 472. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING -NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

If engine is allowed to cool overnight, coolant temperature and Manifold Air Temperature (MAT) should read nearly the same with scan tester. A Code 23B results if circuit No. 452 or 472 becomes open or shorted to ground. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 24 - VSS CIRCUIT

The ECM provides battery voltage to the Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS), located behind instrument panel. The VSS alternately grounds circuit No. 437, which toggles the voltage high and low. This pulsed signal is used by the ECM to determine vehicle speed.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Code 24 sets if vehicle speed equals 0 MPH when:
   • Engine speed is between 1500-4400 RPM.
   • TPS is at zero percent (closed throttle).
   • MAP reads low voltage with high vacuum (low load condition).
   • Transaxle not in Park or Neutral.
   • Speed sensor indicates speeds less than 5 MPH.
   • All conditions are met for 3 seconds.

   These conditions are met during a road load deceleration. Disregard Code 24 that sets when drive wheels are not operating.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

Scan tester should indicate a vehicle speed whenever the drive wheels are turning faster than 3 MPH. Check circuit No. 437 for proper connections. Ensure wire connector is clean and tight and harness is routed correctly. A problem in circuit No. 437 will not affect the VSS input or scan tester readings. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 32 - EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) CIRCUIT

ECM controls a solenoid that regulates vacuum to the EGR valve. EGR control solenoid is cycled by ECM grounding White/Green wire. ECM calculates EGR control solenoid duty cycle using information from CTS and TPS. EGR control solenoid is energized when diagnostic terminal is grounded.

1. With engine at normal operating temperature, Code 32 will set if the difference of EGR gas temperature between EGR on and EGR off is less than 45?F (7?C) or if signal voltage indicates an EGR gas temperature greater than 662?F (350?C) or less than -33?F (-36?C).
2. Determines if problem is with EGR valve, EGR gas temperature sensor, ECM or wiring.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

With engine running and EGR off, EGR gas temperature should be close to manifold air temperature. With EGR on, EGR gas temperature should be 212-482?F (100-250?C).

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 33A - MAP SENSOR (SIGNAL VOLTAGE HIGH - LOW VACUUM)

The MAP sensor responds to changes in manifold vacuum. The ECM receives a signal voltage from MAP sensor varying from 1-1.5 volts at idle (closed throttle) to 4-5 volts at wide open throttle. If MAP sensor fails, ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value and use TPS input to control fuel delivery.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if Code 33A is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.

   Code 33A will set if the following conditions are present for more than 5 seconds:

   • MAP signal indicates low vacuum.
   • No Code 21A or 21B is set.
   • TPS is less than 5 percent.
2. This step simulates conditions for a Code 33B. If ECM recognizes the change, the ECM and circuits No. 416 and 432 are okay. If circuit No. 452 is open, Code 21A may be stored.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

With ignition on and engine off, manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and signal voltage will be high. This information is used by ECM as an indication of vehicle altitude and is referred to as BARO. To check sensor, compare BARO reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor. Readings should be the same within .4 volt.

Code 33A results if circuit No. 452 is open or if circuit No. 432 is shorted to either voltage or circuit No. 416. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 33B - MAP SENSOR (SIGNAL VOLTAGE LOW - HIGH VACUUM)

The MAP sensor responds to changes in manifold pressure (vacuum). The ECM receives a signal voltage from MAP sensor varying from 1-1.5 volts at idle (closed throttle) to 4-5 volts at wide open throttle. If MAP sensor fails, ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value and use TPS input to control fuel delivery.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This determines if Code 33B is result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition. Code 33B will set if:
   • Engine RPM is greater than 1200 RPM.
   • No Code 21A or 21B is set.
   • TPS is greater than 15 percent.
   • MAP signal voltage is low.
2. Connecting harness terminals 2 to 1 will determine if MAP sensor is defective or if problem exists in ECM or wiring.
3. Scan tester may not display 12 volts. Important thing is that ECM recognizes voltage as greater than 4 volts, indicating that ECM and circuit No. 432 are okay.

With ignition on and engine off, manifold pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure and signal voltage will be high. This information is used by ECM as an indication of altitude and is referred to as BARO. To check sensor, compare BARO reading with a known good vehicle with the same sensor. Readings should be the same within .4 volt.

Code 33B will result if circuit No. 452 is open or if circuit No. 432 is shorted to either voltage or circuit No. 416. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES - FUEL INJECTION article.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 42 - EST (ELECTRONIC SPARK TIMING)

Ignition module sends reference signal (circuit No. 430) to ECM when engine is cranking. When engine speed is less than 400 RPM, the ECM applies 5 volts to by-pass line (circuit No. 424) to switch the timing to be controlled by ECM.

When system is running on ignition module (no voltage on by-pass line), ignition module grounds the Electronic Spark Timing (EST) signal. The ECM expects to see no voltage on the EST line. If ECM sees a voltage signal, Code 42 will set and system will not go into EST mode.

When RPM for EST is reached (approximately 400 RPM) and by-pass voltage is applied, EST should no longer be grounded in the ignition module, so EST voltage will vary. If by-pass line is open or grounded, ignition module will not switch to EST, so EST voltage will be low and Code 42 will be set.

If EST line is grounded, the ignition module will switch to EST, but because line is grounded, there will be no EST signal and a Code 42 will be set.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Code 42 indicates ECM has detected an open or short to ground in EST or by-pass circuit. This confirms that Code 42 and the fault causing the code are present.
2. This checks for normal EST ground path through ignition module. An EST circuit No. 423 shorted to ground will also read less than 500 ohms.
3. As test light voltage touches circuit No. 424, the module should switch, causing ohmmeter to overrange if ohmmeter is adjusted to the 1000-2000 ohms range. Selecting the 10,000-20,000 ohms range will indicate greater than 5000 ohms. The important thing is that module is switched.
4. If module did not switch, this checks for shorted EST circuit No. 423, open in circuit No. 424, faulty ignition module connection or faulty ignition module.
5. This step confirms that Code 42 is caused by a faulty ECM and not an intermittent in circuits No. 423 and 424.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 44 (SOHC) - O2 SENSOR LEAN FUEL MIXTURE (NON-HEATED SENSOR)

The ECM supplies a voltage of approximately .45 volt between ECM terminals D6 and D7 (if measurement is taken with a 10-megohm DVOM, reading may be as low as .32 volt). The O2 sensor varies voltage from approximately .1 volt (lean exhaust) to 1.0 volt (rich exhaust). When sensor temperature is less than 600?F (316?C), the sensor acts like an open circuit and will not produce voltage. An open sensor circuit or cold sensor will cause an open loop condition.

NOTE:

Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. Code 44 will set under following conditions:
   • Coolant temperature is greater than 157?F (69.5?C).
   • Engine running for more than 255 seconds.
   • Integrator count is not at 128.
   • No Code 21A, 21B, 33A or 33B is set.
   • O2 sensor voltage is below .280 mV for 99 seconds.
   • System is in closed loop.
   • TPS is greater than 10 percent (A/T) or 8 percent (M/T).

Using scan tester, observe block learn values at different RPMs. Scan tester also displays block cells, so block learn values can be checked in each of the cells to determine when Code 44 set. If conditions for Code 44 exist, block learn values will be approximately 150.

• Ensure O2 sensor pigtail is not contacting exhaust manifold.
• Check for ground in wire between connector and O2 sensor.
• Water delivered to fuel injectors can cause a lean mixture. This can set a Code 44.
• Fuel system will be lean if pressure is too low. Monitor fuel pressure while driving at various road speeds and/or loads to confirm a problem (if necessary).
• If exhaust leak is present, outside air can be pulled into the exhaust and past the sensor. Vacuum or crankcase leaks can also cause a lean condition.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - CODE 45 (SOHC) - O2 SENSOR RICH FUEL MIXTURE (NON-HEATED SENSOR)

The ECM supplies a voltage of approximately .43 volt between ECM terminals D6 and D7 (if measurement is taken with a 10-megohm DVOM, reading may be as low as .32 volt). The O2 sensor varies voltage from approximately .1 volt (lean exhaust) to 1.0 volt (rich exhaust).

1. Code 45 will set when sensor voltage signal is greater than .75 volt under following conditions:
   • Coolant temperature is greater than 157?F (69.5?C).
   • Integrator count is not at 128.
   • No Code 21A, 21B, 33A or 33B is set.
   • TPS is greater than 10 percent (A/T) or 8 percent (M/T).
   • System is in closed loop.

Isuzu Stylus S 1993 - Diagnostic Aids

Code 45 is most likely caused by one of the following:

• Fuel system will go rich if pressure is too high. The ECM can compensate for some increase. If pressure is excessive, a Code 45 maybe set.
• If an open occurs in circuit No. 453, HEI-induced electrical noise may result, causing simulated reference pulses to be picked up by ECM. Additional pulses result in a higher than actual engine speed signal. The ECM will increase pulse width to match fuel requirements of increased RPM signal. Tachometer will show higher than actual RPM, which can help in diagnosing this problem.
• Check charcoal canister for fuel saturation. If full of fuel, check canister control and hoses.
• A MAP sensor output causing ECM to sense lower than normal vacuum can cause system to go rich. Disconnecting MAP sensor allows ECM to set a fixed value for the sensor. Substitute a different MAP sensor if rich condition is gone when sensor is disconnected.
• An intermittent TPS output causes system to go rich due to a false engine acceleration indication.
• A contaminated O2 sensor can cause a false signal. The ECM will reduce fuel delivery causing a driveability problem. Inspect O2 sensor for silicone contamination from fuel or improper use of RTV sealant.
• A sticking EGR valve creates a rich condition, accompanied by rough idle. Check EGR valve operation.
