READING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
(Fig. 6E2-1)
The provision for communicating with the Engine
Control Module (ECM) is the Data Link Connector
(DLC) (See Fig. 6E2-1 ). The DLC is located behind
the
lower front instrument panel. It is used in the
assembly plant
to receive information in checking
that the engine is operating properly before it
leaves the plant. The diagnostic trouble code(s)
(DTCs) stored in the ECM's memory can be read
either through a hand-held diagnostic scannner
plugged into the
DLC or by counting the number
of flashes of the "Check Engine" Malfunction
Indicator Lamp (MIL) when the diagnostic test
terminal
ofthe DLC is grounded. The DLC terminal
"1" (diagnostic request) is pulled "Low"
(grounded) by jumpering to DLC terminal "3",
which is a ground wire. This will signal the ECM
that you want to "flash" DTC(s), if any are present.
Once terminals "1" and "3" have been connected,
the ignition switch
must be moved to the "ON"
position, with the engine not running. At this
point, the
"Check Engine" MIL should flash DTC 12
three times consecutively. This
would be the
following flash, sequence: "flash, pause, flash­
flash,
long pause, flash, pause, flash-flash, long
pause, flash, pause, flash-flash". DTC 12 indicates
that the ECM's diagnostic system is operating.
If
DTC 12 is not indicated, a problem is present
within the diagnostic system itself, and should be
addressed
by consulting the appropriate
diagnostic chart in
DRIVEABILITY AND
EMISSIONS (SECTION 6E2-A).
Following the output of DTC 12, the "Check
Engine" MIL
will indicate a DTC three times if a
DTC is present, or it will simply continue to output
DTC 12. If more than one DTC has been stored in
the
ECM's memory, the DTC(s) will be outputfrom
the lowest to the highest, with each DTC being
displayed three times.

DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E2-5
CLEARING TROUBLE CODES
When the ECM sets a trouble code, the "Check
Engine" MIL
will come "ON" and a trouble code
will be stored in memory. If the problem is
intermittent, the light
will go out after 10 seconds,
when the fault goes away. However, the trouble
code
will stay in the ECM memory until the battery
positive voltage
to the ECM is removed.
Removing battery positive voltage
for 30 seconds
will clear all stored trouble codes.
Trouble
Codes should be cleared after repairs
have been completed. Also, some Diagnostic
Charts will tell you to clear the DTC(s) before using
the chart. This
allows the ECM tosetthe DTCwhile
going through the chart, which will help to find the
cause
of the problem more quickly.
wcAUTION:
• To prevent ECM damage, the key must be "OFF"
when disconnecting or reconnecting power to
ECM (for example battery cable, ECM pigtail, ECM
fuse, jumper cables, etc.)
When using a hand-held diagnostic scanner,
or
"Scan tool" to read the DTC(s), clearing the DTC(s)
is done in the same manner as in the above
procedure.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE
When the diagnostic test terminal is grounded
with the ignition "ON" and the engine "OFF", the
system
will enter what is called the Diagnostic
Test Mode.
In this diagnostic test mode the ECM
will:
1. Flash the "Check Engine" MIL "ON" and
"OFF" rapidly (indicating the system is
operating correctly).
2. Display any stored trouble codes by flashing
the
"Check Engine" MIL. Each DTC will be
flashed three times, then
DTC 12 will be
flashed again.
3. Energize all ECM controlled relays and
solenoids except
fuel pump relay. This
allows checking circuits which may be
difficult to energize without driving the
vehicle and being under particular operating
conditions.
4. The idle air control valve moves to its fully
extended position on most models, blocking
the
idle air passage. This is useful in checking
the
minimum idle speed.

LEARNING ABILITY
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has a
"learning"
ability which allows it to make
corrections
for minor variations in the fuel system
to improve driveability. If the battery is
disconnected to clear diagnostic codes, or for
repair, the "learning" process has to begin all over
again. A change
may be noted in the vehicle's
performance. To "teach" the vehicle, make sure
the engine is at operating temperature, and drive
at part throttle, with moderate acceleration and
idle conditions, until normal performance returns.
lfthe diagnostic test terminal is grounded with the
engine running, the system is in
"Open" or
"Closed Loop".
In "Open Loop" the "Check Engine" malfunction
indicator lamp flashes
two and one-halftimes per
seconds.
In "Closed Loop", the light flashes once per
second.
Also, in "Closed
Loop", the light will stay "OFF"
most of the time if the system is too lean. It will
stay"ON" mostofthetime if the system is too rich.
While the system is in Field Service Mode, the
ECM will be in the following diagnostic test mode:
1. New trouble codes cannot be stored in the
ECM.
2. The closed loop timer is bypassed.

6E2-14 DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS
DATA LINK CONNECTOR ''SCAN TOOLS''
The Engine Control Module (ECM) can communicate a
variety
of information through data link connector
terminal
"2". This data is transmitted at a high frequecy
which requires a
"Scan tool" for interpretation. There
are several
"Scan tools" available for reading this
information.
With an understanding
of the data which the tool
displays, and knowledge of the circuits involved, the
tool can be
very useful in obtaining information which
would be more difficult or impossible to obtain with
other equipment.
"Scan tools" do not make the use of diagnostic charts
unnecessary, nor
can they indicate exactly where a
problem is in a particular circuit. Trouble Tree
Charts
incorporate diagnosis procedures using a "Scan tool"
where possible and most charts require the use of a
"Scan tool" when it is applicable.
A "SCAN TOOL" THAT DISPLAYS FAUL TV
DATA SHOULD NOT BE USED AND THE
PROBLEM SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE
MANUFACTURER. THE USE OF A FAUL TV
"SCAN TOOL" CAN RESULT IN MIS­
DIAGNOSIS
AND UNNECESSARY PARTS
REPLACEMENT.
ECM's have two (2) modes for transmitting
information. The
following information will describe
the system operation in each
of the modes.
Data List (FO)
On engines that can be monitored in the "Open"
mode, certain parameters can be observed
without changing the engine operating
characteristics. The parameters capable
of being
read vary with engine families.
Most "Scan tools"
are programmed so that the system will go
directly into the data link connector mode
if the
"Open" mode is not available.
''SCAN TOOL'' LIMITATIONS AND USE
The "Scan tool" allows a quick check of sensors
and switches which are inputs
to the ECM. The
"Scan tool" allows one to manipulate wiring
harnesses or components under the hood while
observing the "Scan Tool" readout. This helps in
locating intermittents
with the engine not
running.
INTERMITTENT CONDITIONS
The "Scan tool" is helpful in cases of intermittent
operation. The
tool can be plugged in and
observed while driving the vehicle under the
condition
where the light comes "ON" momen- tarily,
or the
engine driveability is poor
momentarily.
If the problem seems to be related
to certain areas
that can be checked on the "Scan ~
tool", then those are the positions that should be
checked while driving the vehicle. If there does
not seem to
be any correlation between the
problem and any specific circuit, the
"Scan tool"
can be checked on each position, watching for a
period
of time to see if there is any change in the
readings that indicates intermittent operation.
The
"Scan tool" is also a useful and quick way of
comparing operating parameters of a poorly
operating engine with a known good one. For
example; A sensor may shift in
value but not set a
diagnostic trouble code. Comparing with a known
good vehicle may uncover the problem.
The
"Scan tool" has the ability to save time in
diagnosis and prevent the replacement
of good
parts. The key to using the
"Scan tool" success­
fully
for diagnosis lies in the technicians ability to
understand the system he is trying to diagnose as
well as an understanding of the "Scan tool's"
limitations. Therefore, the technician should read
the tool operating manual to become familiar
with
the tool. The following information will describe
most of the "Scan tool" positions and how they
can be helpful in diagnosis.
"SCAN TOOL" POSITIONS
INJECTOR PULSE WIDTH
In this position, the reading is given in milli­
seconds which is the on time that the ECM is
commanding to the injector(s).
CLOSED LOOP/OPEN LOOP
This position will indicate whether the engine
control system
is operating in open or closed
loop. Most systems go closed loop after a certain
amount of run time, when engine coolant
temperature
is high enough, and the oxygen
sensor becomes active.
TROUBLE CODES
Will display any trouble codes stored in the ECM
memory.
THROTTLE POSITION (TP) SENSOR
Values read will be the voltage as seen by the ~
ECM. The voltage should be the TP sensor
specification
with the throttle closed and go up to
about 5 volts with
wide open throttle.

ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE (ECT)
SENSOR
Fig. 6E2-56

MODES OF OPERATION
The Engine Control Module (ECM) uses voltage inputs
from several sensors to determine how much fuel to
give the engine. The fuel is delivered under one of
several conditions, called "modes". All the modes are
controlled by the ECM and are described below.
Starting Mode
When the ignition is first turned "ON", the ECM turns
"ON" the fuel pump relay for two seconds, and the fuel
pump builds up pressure. The ECM also checks the
Engine
Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor and the
Throttle Position Sensor, and the determines the
proper
air/fuel ratio for starting. This ranges from 1.5:1
-36·c (-33.F) to 14.7:1, at 94•c (201.F) ECT.
The ECM controls the amount of fuel delivered in the
starting mode by changing
how long the injector is
turned
"ON" and "OFF". The is done by "Pulsing" the
injectors
for very short times.
Clear Flood Mode
If the engine floods, it may be cleared by pushing the
accelerator pedal down all the way. The ECM then will
fixed air/fuel ratio 16.5:1. The ECM holds this injector
rate
as long as the throttle stays wide open. If the
throttle position becomes less than approximately
70%, the ECM returns to the starting mode.
Run Mode
The run mode has two conditions called "Open Loop"
and "Closed Loop"
"Open Loop"
When the engine is first started, and it is above 500
Rovolution Per Minute (rpm), the system goes into
"Open Loop" operation. IN "Open Loop," the ECM
ignores the signal from the heated oxygen sensor
(H02S), and calculates the air/fuel ratio based on
inputs
from the ECT sensor and manifold absolute
pressure sensors.
The system stays in
"Open Loop" until the following
conditions are met:
1. The H02S has varying voltage output, showing
that
it is hot enough to operate properly. (This
depends on temperature.)
2. The ECT sensor is above a specified temperature.
3. A specific amount of time has elapsed after
starting the engine.
"Closed Loop"
The specific values for the above conditions vary with
different engines, and are stored in the ECM. When
these conditions are met, the system goes into
"Closed
Loop"
operation. In "Closed Loop", the ECM calculates
the air/fuel ratio (injector on-time) based on the signal
from the H02S. This allows the air/fuel ratio to stay
very close to 14.7:1.
DRIVEABILITV AND EMISSIONS 6E2-117
Acceleration Mode
The ECM responds to rapid changes in throttle position
and air
flow, and provides extra fuel.
Deceleration Mode
The ECM responds to changes in throttle position and
air
flow, and reduces the amount of fuel. When
deceleration is very fast, the ECM can cut off fuel
completely
for short periods.
Battery Positive Voltage Correction Mode
When battery positive voltage is low, the ECM can
compensate
for a weak spark delivered by the ignition
control module by:
• Increasing injector pulse width.
• Increasing the idle rpm.
• Increasing ignition dwell time.
Fuel Cutoff Mode
The fuel injectors are shut "OFF" if engine speed
"exceed" 6880 rpm (DOHC) or6800 rpm (SOHC). This is
to prevent damage to engine. When engine speed is
below 6880 rpm (DOHC) or 6800 rpm (SOHC), the fuel
injectors are again pulsed at a normal mode.

RESULTS OF INCORRECT OPERATION
An open or ground in the Ignition Control (I C) or bypass
circuits
will set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) 42 and
cause the engine
to run on the Ignition Control Module
(ICM)
timing.
The Engine
Control Module (ECM) uses information
from the Intake Air Temperature (IAT) and engine
coolant sensors in addition to revolution per minute
(rpm) to
calculate spark advance as follows:
• Cold
engine -more spark advance.
• Engine under minimum load based on rpm and
low amount of air flow = more spark advance.
• Hot engine = less spark advance.
• Engine under heavy load based on rpm and high
air
flow = less spark advance.
HOW DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
42 IS DETERMINED
When the system is running on the ICM, that is, no
voltage on the bypass line, the ICM grounds (GND) the
IC signal. The ECM expects to see no voltage on the IC
line during this condition.lf it sees a voltage, it sets DTC
42 and will not go into the IC mode.
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E2-139
When the rpm for IC is reached (about 400 rpm) the
ECM applies 5 volts to the bypass line and the IC should
no longer be grounded in the ICM so the IC voltage
should
be varying.
An open in the
IC circuit while running, will result in the
engine continuing to run, but in a back-up
ig~it~on
timing mode (module timing) at a calculated t1mmg
value
and the malfunction indicator lamp will not be
"ON".
If
the IC circuit is shorted to GND, the "Check Engine"
malfunction
indicator lamp will be turned "ON", and a
DTC 42 will be set and the engine will operate in
module timing. Either condition may cause poor
performance and reduced
fuel economy.
If the bypass line is open or GND, the ICM will not
switch to IC mode so the IC voltage will be low and DTC
42 will be set.
If the IC line is grounded, the ICM will switch to IC, but
because the line isGNDtherewill be no ICsignai.A DTC
42 will be set.
DIAGNOSIS
If the engine cranks but will not run, CHART A-3 will be
used to determine if the Electronic Ignition (EI) system
is the cause
of the problem or if it is another part of the
fuel injection system.
If DTC 42 is set, that DTC chart should be used for
diagnosis. If no DTC is set and the ignition system is
suspected, use
CHART C4-D ("EI" Misfire) for
diagnosis.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) 12
DTC 12 is used during the on-board diagnostic system
check procedure to test the
DTC display ability of the
ECM. This diagnostic trouble code indicates that the
ECM is not receiving the engine speed (REFERENCE)
signal. This occurs with the ignition key "ON" and the
engine not running.
The "reference"
signal also triggers the fuel injection
system.
Without the "reference" signal the engine
cannot run.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 4L30-E is a 4-speed fully-automatic transmission.
It uses a microcomputer as a control unit to judge
running conditions
including throttle opening rate
and vehicle speed, then
it sets the shifting point in
the
optimum timing so that best driving performance
can be achieved.
In addition, the built-in shift mode select function can
select three shift modes according to the driver's
preference.
• Normal mode-Normal shift pattern.
• Winter mode-Starts in 3rd gear to reduce
slippage on ice
or snow.
• Power mode has a delayed upshift for when
more powerful acceleration is required.
Also, the built-in fail-safe
function ("backup mode")
assures driving performance even if the vehicle
speed sensor,
throttle signal or any solenoid fails.
Further, the self-diagnostic
function conducts diag­
nosis in a short time when the control system fails,
thus improving serviceability.
The major features of 4L30-E are as follows:
• A compact structure consisting of 2 sets of
planetary gears and flat torque converter.
• Electronic control selects the optimum shift
mode according
to the driving conditions.
• Electronic control maintains the optimum hy­
draulic pressure for clutch, band brake as well as
transmission so that shift feeling is improved.
• Two sets of planetary gears reduce friction of
power train.
Also, a lock-up mechanism in the torque con­
verter reduces fuel consumption.
• Wide gear ratio and high torque rate of torque
converter provide
excellent starting perform­
ance.
MODEL YEAR 1994-95 CHANGES
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) for ISUZU
TROOPER
models equipped with 4L30-E is changed
from "BOSCH" to "DELCO ELECTRONICS"
manufacture.
The main differences
which will be encountered
while servicing concerned vehicles are as follows:
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC):
DTC's are changed: For example, DTC for
transmission gear error will be as follows depending
on the TCM unit:
-
On the "DELCO" unit (1994-95) ......... DTC 61
-On the "BOSCH" unit (1993-prior) ..... DTC 41
TCM Pin Connector:
The pin connector is changed. Therefore the
connections
to be made for troubleshooting also
change.
Shift Alteration when TECH 1 Tool is connected
toTCM:
SHIFTS WILL BE HARSH WHEN TECH 1 IS
CONNECTED.
Connection of TECH 1 automatically forces maximum
line pressure during shifts only.
Normal line pressure checks at idle and stall spe
can be carried out.
