Service Precaution

WARNING:  THIS VEHICLE HAS A SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS).   REFER TO THE SRS
COMPONENT AND WIRING LOCATION VIEW IN
ORDER TO DETERMINE WHETHER  YOU ARE
PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE SRS
COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING.  WHEN YOU
ARE PERFORMING SERVICE ON OR NEAR THE
SRS COMPONENTS OR THE SRS WIRING,  REFER
TO THE SRS SERVICE INFORMATION. FAILURE TO
FOLLOW WARNINGS COULD RESULT  IN
POSSIBLE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, PERSONAL
INJURY, OR OTHERWISE UNNEEDED SRS SYSTEM
REPAIRS.

CAUTION:  Always use the correct fastener in the
proper location.  When you replace a fastener, use
ONLY the exact part number for that application.
ISUZU will  call out those fasteners that require a
replacement after removal. ISUZU will also call out
the  fasteners that require thread lockers or thread
sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do  not
use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or
other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded  fasteners or
fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings
adversely affect the fastener  torque and the joint
clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When
you install fasteners,  use the correct tightening
sequence and specifications. Following these
instructions can help you  avoid damage to parts
and systems.

Battery

General Description

There are six battery fluid caps on top of the battery. 
These are covered by a paper label.
The battery is completely sealed except for the six small 
vent holes on the side. These vent holes permit the 
escape of small amounts of gas generated by the 
battery.
This type of battery has the following advantages over 
conventional batteries:

1. There is no need to add water during the entire 

service life of the battery.

2. The battery protects itself against overcharging.

The battery will refuse to accept an extensive 
charge.
(A conventional battery will accept an excessive 
charge, resulting in gassing and loss of battery 
fluid.)

3. The battery is much less vulnerable to self 

discharge than a conventional type battery.

Diagnosis

1. Visual Inspection

Inspect the battery for obvious physical damage, such 
as a cracked or broken case, which would permit 
electrolyte loss.
Replace the battery if obvious physical damage is 
discovered during inspection.
Check for any other physical damage and correct it as 
necessary.

2. Hydrometer Check

There is a built–in hydrometer (Charge test indicator(1)) 
at the top of the battery. It is designed to be used during 
diagnostic procedures.
Before trying to read the hydrometer, carefully clean the 
upper battery surface.
If your work area is poorly lit, additional light may be 
necessary to read the hydrometer.

3. Fluid Level Check

The fluid level should be between the upper level line(2) 
and lower level line(3) on side of battery.

a

CORRECT FLUID LEVEL – Charge the battery.

b

BELOW LOWER LEVEL – Replace battery.

4. Voltage Check

1. Put voltmeter test leads to battery terminals.

a

VOLTAGE IS 12.4V OR ABOVE – Go to Step 5. 

b

VOLTAGE IS UNDER 12.4V – Go to procedure 
(2) below. 

2. Determine fast charge amperage from specification. 

(See Main Data and Specifications in this section). 
Fast charge battery for 30 minutes at amperage rate 
no higher than specified value.
Take voltage and amperage readings after charge.

a

VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT BELOW 1/3 OF 
AMPERAGE RATE – Replace battery.

b

VOLTAGE IS ABOVE 16V AT ABOVE 1/3 OF 
AMPERAGE RATE – Drop charging voltage to 
15V and charge for 10 – 15 hours. Then go to 
Step 5.

c

VOLTAGE IS BETWEEN 12V AND 16V – 
Continue charging at the same rate for an 
additional 3–1/2 hours. Then go to Step 5.

d

VOLTAGE BELOW 12V – Replace Battery.

5. Load Test

1. Connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester 

across the battery terminals.

2. Apply 300 ampere load for 15 seconds to remove 

surface charge from the battery. Remove load.

3. Wait 15 seconds to let battery recover. Then apply 

specified load from specifications (See Main Data 
and Specifications in this section).
Read voltage after 15 seconds, then remove load.

a

VOLTAGE DOES NOT DROP BELOW THE 
MINIMUM LISTED IN THE TABLE – The battery 
is good and should be returned to service.

b

VOLTAGE IS LESS THAN MINIMUM LISTED – 
Replace battery.

Battery Charging

Observe the following safety precautions when charging 
the battery:

1. Never attempt to charge the battery when the fluid 

level is below the lower level line on the side of the 
battery. In this case, the battery must be replaced.

2. Pay close attention to the battery during charging 

procedure.
Battery charging should be discontinued or the rate 
of charge reduced if the battery feels hot to the 
touch.
battery charging should be discontinued or the rate 
of charge reduced if the battery begins to gas or 
spew electrolyte from the vent holes.

3. In order to more easily view the hydrometer blue dot 

or ring, it may be necessary to jiggle or tilt the 
battery.

4. Battery temperature can have a great effect on 

battery charging capacity.

5. The sealed battery used on this vehicle may be 

either quick charged or slow charged in the same 
manner as other batteries.
Whichever method you decide to use, be sure that 
you completely charge  the battery. Never partially 
charge the battery.

Jump Starting

Jump Starting with an Auxiliary (Booster) 
Battery

CAUTION:  Never push or tow the vehicle in an 
attempt to start it. Serious damage to the emission 
system as well as other vehicle parts will result.
Treat both the discharged battery and the booster 
battery with great care when using jumper cables. 
Carefully follow the jump starting procedure, being 
careful at all times to avoid sparking.

WARNING:  FAILURE TO CAREFULLY FOLLOW THE 
JUMP STARTING PROCEDURE COULD RESULT IN 
THE FOLLOWING:

1. Serous personal injury, particularly to your eyes.

2. Property damage from a battery explosion, 

battery acid, or an electrical fire.

3. Damage to the electronic components of one or 

both vehicles particularly.

Never expose the battery to an open flame or electrical 
spark. Gas generated by the battery may catch fire or 
explode.
Remove any rings, watches, or other jewelry before 
working around the battery. Protect your eyes by 
wearing an approved set of goggles.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with your 
eyes or skin.
Never allow battery fluid to come in contact with fabrics 
or painted surfaces.
Battery fluid is a highly corrosive acid.
