Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - 1992 ENGINE PERFORMANCE Self-Diagnostics - Impulse & Stylus - Fuel Injection - 1.6L & 1.8L
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - INTRODUCTION
If no faults were found while performing BASIC TESTING , proceed with self-diagnostics. If no fault codes or only pass codes are present after entering self-diagnostics, proceed to TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.).
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - 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 1992 - 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 a sensor, connector or wiring related problems. See INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - 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, a trouble 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 DIAGNOSTIC CIRCUIT CHECK under CODE CHARTS. Circuit checks are located with code charts.
- 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 .
Fig. 1: Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - Component Locations - ALDL Connector Terminal ID - 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.
- 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.
- 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 1992 - CLEARING TROUBLE CODES
CAUTION: Ensure ignition is off when disconnecting or reconnecting power supply to ECM. To locate ECM, see ECM LOCATIONS table.
- 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.
- 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 1992 - CODE 31 (1.6L TURBO) - TURBO OVERBOOST
On turbocharged engines, exhaust gases pass from exhaust manifold through turbocharger, turning turbine blades. Compressor side of turbocharger also turns, pulling air through air filter and pushing it into intake manifold under pressure.
Wastegate is normally closed, but will open to allow by-pass of exhaust gases when an overboost condition exists. This is determined through monitored MAP sensor signals. Under normal driving conditions, ECM energizes the wastegate control (solenoid) valve. This blocks off intake manifold pressure from wastegate actuator diaphragm. When overboost condition exists, ECM will de-energize the wastegate control (solenoid) valve, allowing intake manifold pressure to act upon actuator diaphragm, opening wastegate.
As boost pressure decreases, ECM energizes wastegate control (solenoid) valve which causes wastegate to close. If MAP sensor indicates that an overboost condition exists, ECM will cut fuel delivery to prevent engine damage.
- Code 31 will set when Code 33 is not set and excessive manifold boost pressure is sensed for 2 seconds. Code 31 will be set, but CHECK ENGINE LIGHT will stay on only while overboost condition exists and for 10 seconds after manifold boost pressure has been reduced. Code 31 may be caused by White/Purple wire shorted to ground, a sticking waste-gate or actuator, control (solenoid) valve stuck in the closed position, a cut or pinched hose, an extremely dirty air filter or a faulty ECM.
- After pressure is applied to valve and then removed, actuator should slowly close wastegate. If pressure does not bleed off, vent in control (solenoid) valve could be plugged.
- With ignition on and ALDL test terminal "B" grounded, control (solenoid) valve should be energized. This closes off the manifold vacuum to the wastegate actuator.
- This checks the electrical control portion of the system. With ignition on and engine not running, solenoid should not be energized.

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.
- 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 37?F (3?C) or if signal voltage indicates an EGR gas temperature greater than 662?F (350?C) or less than -33?F (-36?C).
- Determines if problem is with EGR valve, EGR gas temperature sensor, ECM or wiring.

Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - CODE 33 (1.6L TURBO) - 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 .53-.61 volt at idle (closed throttle) to 2.18-4.28 volts at wide open throttle. If MAP sensor fails, ECM will substitute a fixed MAP value and use the TPS input to control fuel delivery.
NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.

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 33 results if Gray wire is open, or if Gray/Red wire is shorted to voltage or Blue/Orange wire. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.

Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - CODE 41 (1.6L TURBO) - CAM SIGNAL CIRCUIT
For timing of the injectors, Hall Effect switch is used. Hall Effect sends a signal to ECM when cylinder No. 1 is 25 degrees ATDC on compression stroke. This signal is used to start the correct injector sequence. Engine will continue to run if cam signal is lost while running, but will not restart if engine is stopped. If failure is in Hall Effect switch output Yellow/Blue wire to ECM terminal B9, a Code 41 will be set. Code 41 is set when engine is cranking.
NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Checks to see if B+ and ground are all at Hall Effect switch.
- Checks to see if Hall Effect sensor is sending out a signal to ECM.
- Checks to see if Yellow/Blue wire from Hall Effect to ECM is open or grounded. The amount of voltage depends upon the position of the vane in the dual cam sensor housing.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection, rubbing through the wire insulation, or a wire broken inside the insulation. If Hall Effect signal is not received by ECM for 3 seconds, check for poor connections or damaged harness. For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - CODE 42 (1.6L & 1.8L NON-TURBO) - EST (ELECTRONIC SPARK TIMING)
Ignition module sends reference signal (circuit No. 430) to ECM when engine is cranking. When engine speed is less than 600 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 1992 - CODE 43 (1.6L TURBO) - ESC (ELECTRONIC SPARK CONTROL)
ECM applies and monitors a 5-volt DC signal to the knock sensor. Internal knock sensor circuitry pulls this DC signal down to about 2.5 volts. When knock sensor detects detonation, it generates an AC signal which rides back on the DC signal to the ECM. Knock signal intensity is dependent upon knock signal level.
NOTE: Test numbers refer to test numbers on diagnostic chart.
- Code 43 will set when vehicle reaches normal operating temperature (but not overheating) and the following conditions are present for 5 seconds:
- High engine load is indicated by MAP sensor and engine speed.
- A knock signal is indicated for more than 3 seconds.
- MAT temperature is greater than 32?F (0?C).
If an audible knock is heard from engine, repair mechanical problem first.
- If tapping on engine lift hook does not produce a knock signal, try tapping on engine closer to sensor before proceeding.
- This step determines the state of the 5-volt reference signal applied to the sensor.
- Determines if fault is in knock sensor or ESC portion of MEM-CAL.

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.

Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - 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. 450, 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 oxygen sensor can cause a false signal. The ECM will reduce fuel delivery causing a driveability problem. Inspect oxygen 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.
- If heater portion of oxygen sensor fails, this may set a Code 44 or 45. See appropriate I - SYS/COMP TESTS article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.

Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - CODE 45 (1.6L DOHC TURBO) - O2 SENSOR RICH FUEL MIXTURE (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 approximately 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.
- Code 45 will set when sensor voltage signal is greater than .85 volt under following conditions:
- Coolant temperature is greater than 158?F (70?C).
- Integrator count is not at 128.
- No Code 21 or 33 is set.
- TPS is greater than 3.5 percent and less than 13.3 percent.
- System is in closed loop.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - 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 Yellow/Black wire from ignition coil, 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 oxygen sensor can cause a false signal. The ECM will reduce fuel delivery causing a driveability problem. Inspect oxygen 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.
For intermittent inspection, see INTERMITTENTS in appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - CODE 45 (1.6L 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 .1 volt (lean exhaust) to 1 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.
- Code 45 will set when sensor voltage signal is greater than .75 volt under following conditions:
- 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 1992 - CODE 51 (1.6L TURBO) - ECM FAILURE (MEM-CAL ERROR)
Check all ECM connections. If connections are okay, clear memory and recheck system. See CLEARING TROUBLE CODES in this article. If Code 51 reappears, replace ECM. Clear codes and confirm closed loop operation. Ensure CHECK ENGINE light is off.
Isuzu Stylus S 1992 - SUMMARY
If no hard fault codes (or only pass codes) are present, driveability symptoms exist or intermittent codes exist, proceed to appropriate TESTS W/O CODES article in the ENGINE PERFORMANCE Section for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnosis procedures.
