Diagnostic Trouble Codes
The purpose of the “Diagnostic Trouble Codes” mode is to
display stored PCM trouble codes.
When  “Diagnostic Trouble Codes” is selected an
“Application Menu” screen appears.

Clear DTC Information
The purpose of the “Clear DTC Information” mode is to
command the clearing of stored PCM trouble codes.
When “Clear DTC Information” is selected, a “Clear DTC
Information”, warning screen appears. This screen
informs you that by cleaning DTC’s,  “all stored DTC
information in controller will be erased”.
Do you want to clear DTC’s (Yes/No).
Press either the Yes or No key when answering.
After clearing codes, confirm system operation by test
driving the vehicle.
Allow the vehicle to shift through all four forward gears in a
manner which attempts to repeat the failure condition.

NOTE: When the trouble has not been repaired and the
trouble code cannot be erased, check the vehicle again.

DTC Information
When  “DTC Information” is selected, an “Application
Menu” appears with a list of DTC information function
keys addressing DTC specifics and their origins.
Function key selections may vary for particular vehicle
and/or system.

Data Display
The purpose of the “Data Display” mode is to
continuously monitor data parameters.
The current actual values of all important sensors and
signals in the system are display through F1 mode.
When “Data Display” is selected an “Application Menu”
appears. Please select either “Engine” or “Transmission
Data Display”.
See “Transmission Data” on next page.

Snapshot
When  “Snapshot” is selected an “Application Menu”
appears.
When  “Transmission Snapshot” application is selected
from the “Application Menu”, a “Snapshot Menu”
appears, displaying several options. “Snapshot” options
may vary from one system to another.
“Snapshot” allows a recording of all vehicle parameters.
There parameters may then be replayed at a future point
in time.
This action allows you to focus on making the condition
occur, rather than trying to view all of the data in
anticipation of the fault. The snapshot will collect
parameter information around a trigger point that you
select.
When a snapshot is taken. It is recorded onto the
PCMCIA memory card. When the Tech 2 is powered
down. Snapshots are not lost.

Actuator Tests
The purpose of “Actuator Tests” mode is to check for
correct operation of electronic system actuators.

Lamps
You can operate the lamps by pressing the ON and OFF
buttons.

Preconditions: none

Solenoid
Solenoid 1-2/3-4, Solenoid 2-3, TCC Solenoid
You can operate the solenoids by pressing the ON and
OFF buttons.
Preconditions: P–N position, no vehicle speed, no engine
speed
Band Apply Solenoid
You can operate the solenoid by pressing the ON and
OFF buttons.
Preconditions: P-N position, idle engine speed, no vehicle
speed.
Pressure Control Solenoid (PCS)
You can set desired PCS Current using the UP (+25) and
DOWN (–25) button. The PC Solenoid Data informs
about PCS Current, Pressure and Duty Cycle.
Preconditions: P–N position, no engine speed, no vehicle
speed

Reset Oil Life Monitor
Displays parameter “Oil Life Monitor” and resets to 100%
if Yes-button is pressed on Reset-question. “No” leaves
test.
Preconditions: no vehicle speed, no engine speed

OBD II Diagnostic Management System

Class 2 Serial Data Bus
OBD II technology requires a much more sophisticated
PCM than does OBD I technology. The OBD II PCM
diagnostic management system not only monitors
systems and components that can impact emissions, but
they also run active tests on these systems and
components. The decision making functions of OBD II
PCMs have also greatly increased. To accommodate this
expansion in diagnostic complexity, Isuzu engineers have
designed the Class 2 serial data bus, which meets SAE
J1850 recommended practice for serial data.
“Serial Data” refers to information which is transferred in a
linear fashion – over a single line, one bit at a time. A “Data
Bus” is an electronic pathway through which serial data
travels.

TROOPER previously used a 5 volt data bus called
UART, which is an acronym for “Universal Asynchronous
Receive and Transmit”. When neither the vehicle’s
control module nor the diagnostic tool, such as a Tech 2,
are “talking,” the voltage level of the bus at rest is 5 volts.
The two computers talk to each other at a rate of 8,192
bits per second, by toggling or switching the voltage on
the data bus from 5 volts to ground.
Class 2 data, which is used on OBD II vehicles, is quite
different. Data is transferred at a rate of 10.4 kilobits per
second, and the voltage is toggled between zero and 7
volts.
