General Repair Instruction

1. If a floor jack is used, the following precautions are 

recommended.
Park vehicle on level ground, “block" front or rear  
wheels, set jack against the recommended lifting 
points (see “Lifting  Instructions" in this section), 
raise vehicle and support with chassis  stands and 
then perform the service operations.

2. Before performing service operations, disconnect 

ground cable from the  battery to reduce the chance 
of cable damage and burning due to short circuiting.

3. Use a cover on body, seats and floor to protect them 

against damage and contamination.

4. Brake fluid and anti–freeze solution must be 

handled with reasonable care, as they can cause 
paint damage.

5. The use of proper tools and recommended essential 

and available tools,  where specified, is important for 
efficient and reliable performance of service repairs.

6. Use genuine Isuzu parts.

7. Used cotter pins, plastic clips, gaskets, O–rings, oil 

seals, lock washers  and self–locking nuts should be 
discarded and new ones should be installed,  as 
normal function of the parts cannot be maintained if 
these parts are reused.

8. To facilitate proper and smooth reassembly 

operation, keep disassembled  parts neatly in 
groups. Keeping fixing bolts and nuts separate is 
very important,  as they vary in hardness and design 
depending on position of installation.

9. Clean the parts before inspection or reassembly. 

Also clean oil ports,  etc. using compressed air, and 
make certain they are free from restrictions.

10. Lubricate rotating and sliding faces of the parts with 

oil or grease before installation.

11. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to prevent 

leakage.

12. Carefully observe all specifications for bolt and nut 

torques.

13. When removing or replacing parts that require 

refrigerant to be discharged  from the air 
conditioning system, be sure to use the Vehicle 
Refrigerant Recovery  and Recycling Equipment 
(VRRRE) to recover and recycle Refrigerant–134a.

14. When a service operation is completed, make a final 

check to be sure  the service has been done 
properly and the problem has been corrected.

15. SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM

The vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental 
Restraint System (SRS) – Air Bags. This system is 
not to be serviced without consulting the 
appropriate service information.  Consult Section 9J 
“SRS System" if work is to be done on the front of 
the vehicle such as bumper, sheet metal, seats, 
wiring, steering wheel or column.  Also review SRS 
system information if any arc welding is to be done 
on the vehicle. The SRS system equipped vehicle 
can be identified by:

1. “AIR BAG" warning light on the instrument 

cluster.

2. A Code “J" for fifth digit of Vehicle Identification 

Number.
