ENGINE ELECTRICAL (X22SE 2.2L)

Should battery fluid come in contact with your eyes, 
skin, fabric, or a painted surface, immediately and 
thoroughly rinse the affected area with clean tap water.
Never allow metal tools or jumper cables to come in 
contact with the positive battery terminal, or any other 
metal surface of the vehicle. This will protect against a 
short circuit.
Always keep batteries out of reach of young children.

Jump Starting Procedure

1. Set the vehicle parking brake.

If the vehicle is equipped with an automatic 
transmission, place the selector level in the “PARK" 
position.
If the vehicle is equipped with a manual 
transmission place the shift lever in the “NEUTRAL" 
position.
Turn “OFF" the ignition.
Turn “OFF" all lights and any other accessory 
requiring electrical power.

2. Look at the built–in hydrometer.

If the indication area of the built–in hydrometer is 
completely clear, do not try to jump start.

3. Attach the end of one jumper cable to the positive 

terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to the 
positive terminal of the discharged battery.
Do not allow the vehicles to touch each other. This 
will cause a ground connection, effectively 
neutralizing the charging procedure.
Be sure that the booster battery has a 12 volt rating.

4. Attach one end of the remaining cable to the 

negative terminal of the booster battery.
Attach the other end of the same cable to a solid 
engine ground (such as the air conditioning 
compressor bracket or the generator mounting 
bracket) of the vehicle with the discharged battery.
The ground connection must be at least 450 mm (18 
in.) from the battery of the vehicle whose battery is 
being charged.

WARNING:  NEVER ATTACH THE END OF THE 
JUMPER CABLE DIRECTLY TO THE NEGATIVE 
TERMINAL OF THE DEAD BATTERY.

5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good battery.

Make sure that all unnecessary electrical 
accessories have been turned “OFF".

6. Start the engine of the vehicle with the dead battery.

7. To remove the jumper cables, follow the above 

directions in reverse order.
Be sure to first disconnect the negative cable from 
the vehicle with the discharged battery.

Battery Removal

1. Remove negative cable (1).

2. Remove positive cable (2).

3. Remove retainer screw and rods (3).

4. Remove retainer (4).

5. Remove battery (5).

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.

General Description

Ignition is done by the Ignition Module that fires.
Since the cylinder on exhaust stroke requires less 
energy to fire its spark plug, energy from the ignition 
coils  can be utilized to fire the mating cylinder on 
compression stroke.
A notch in the timing disc on the crankshaft activates the 
crank angle sensor which then sends information such 
as firing order and starting timing of ignition coil to the 
PCM.
By receiving signals such as crank position,engine 
speed,water temperature and Manifold Absolute 
Pressure (MAP),the PCM controls the ignition timing.

Diagnosis

Refer to Section Drivability and Emissions for the 
diagnosis to electronic ignition system (El system).

Spark Plug

Removal

1. Remove spark plugs.

Inspection and Repair

The spark plug affects entire engine performance and 
therefore its inspection is very important.

• Check electrode and insulator for presence of 

cracks,and replace if any.

• Check electrode for wear,and replace if necessary.

• Check gasket for damage,and replace if necessary.

• Measure insulation resistance with an ohmmeter,and 

replace if faulty.

• Adjust spark plug gap to 0.7 mm (0.027 in) 

∼ 0.8 µµ 

(0.031 ιν).

• Check fuel and electrical systems if spark plug is 

extremely dirty.

• Use spark plugs having low heat value (hot type plug) 

if fuel and electrical systems are normal.

• Use spark plugs having high heat value (cold type 

plug) if insulator and electrode are extremely burned.

Sooty Spark Plugs

Much deposit of carbon or oil on the electrode and 
insulator of spark plug reduces the engine performance.

Possible causes:

• Too rich mixture

• Presence of oil in combustion chamber

• Incorrectly adjusted spark plug gap

Burning Electrodes

This fault is characterized by scorched or heavily 
oxidized electrode or blistered insulator nose.
