Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - 1990 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - Amigo, Pickup & Trooper Fuel Injection 2.6L
Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - INTRODUCTION
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed with ENTERING SELF-DIAGNOSTICS. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present, proceed to H - TESTS W/O CODE (F INJ) article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e. ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - 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 Trooper S 1990 - INTERMITTENT FAILURES
Intermittent failures may cause CHECK ENGINE light to flicker or illuminate and go out after the 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 a sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in H - TESTS W/O CODE (F INJ) article.
Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - RETRIEVING CODES
NOTE: Codes can also be retrieved using a Scan tester.
- 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, code is present.
- If light did not come on with key on and engine off, the CHECK ENGINE light circuit must be checked before continuing. See AMIGO, PICKUP & TROOPER DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK in this article if CHECK ENGINE light failed to operate. Circuit checks are located within code charts.
- To retrieve codes, turn ignition on. Install jumper wire between diagnostic leads. See Fig. 1 . Count number of flashes from CHECK ENGINE light. A Code 12 is identified by a flash, pause and flash, flash. A long pause occurs and Code 12 repeats 3 times. See Fig. 2 . Each additional code flashes 3 times starting with lowest code to the highest and repeat 3 times.
- If system is operating properly (with no codes), a Code 12 should exist with ignition on and engine off. This indicates the diagnostic system is capable of storing codes.
- Each additional code repeats 3 times and then the next code follows. See Fig. 2 . Once all codes are displayed, codes will repeat. After codes are retrieved, remove jumper wire from diagnostic leads to exit diagnostic mode.

Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - CLEARING CODES
After repairs are performed, clear ECM memory of all stored codes. To clear memory, turn ignition off and remove appropriate fuse from fuse block. See CLEARING CODES table.

Isuzu Trooper S 1990 - CODE 12: SYSTEM NORMAL
Code 12 is always displayed when the key is in the "ON" position and the engine is not running and ONLY means that the engine is not running. Code 12 is not stored in memory.
NOTE: If Code 12 is only displayed when the function key is operated after clearing the memory, it indicates that the ECM electrical circuits and self-diagnosis system are functioning properly.
