ENGINE COOLING 6B – 5
ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE
PROCEDURE
1. To change engine coolant, make sure that the
engine is cool.
WARNING:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature,
be sure not to loosen or remove the radiator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water. To open the radiator cap, put a piece
of thick cloth on the cap and loosen the cap slowly
to reduce the pressure once the coolant has
become cooler.
2. Open radiator cap and drain the cooling system by
loosening the drain valve on the radiator and on the
cylinder body.
NOTE: For best results it is suggested that the engine
cooling system be flushed at least once a year. It is
advisable to flush the interior of the cooling system
including the radiator before using anti-freeze
(ethylene-glycol based).
Replace damaged rubber hoses as the engine anti-
freeze coolant is liable to leak out even minor cracks.
Isuzu recommends using Isuzu genuine anti-freeze
(ethylene-glycol based) or equivalent, for the cooling
system and not add any inhibitors or additives.
CAUTION:
A failure to correctly fill the engine cooling system
in changing or topping off coolant may sometimes
cause the coolant to overflow from the filler neck
even before the engine and radiator are completely
full.
If the engine runs under this condition, shortage of
coolant may possibly result in engine overheating.
To avoid such trouble, the following precautions
should be taken in filling the system.
3. To refill engine coolant, pour coolant up to filler neck
using a filling hose which is smaller in outside
diameter than the filler neck. Otherwise air between
the filler neck and the filling hose will block entry,
preventing the system from completely filling up.
4. Keep a filling rate of 9 liter/min. or less. Filling over
this maximum rate may force air inside the engine
and radiator.
And also, the coolant overflow will increase, making
it difficult to determine whether or not the system is
completely full.
5. After filling the system full, pull out the filling hose
and check to see if air trapped in the system is
dislodged and the coolant level goes down. Should
the coolant level go down, repeat topping-off until
there is no more drop in the coolant level.
6. Directly after filling the radiator, fill the reservoir to
the maximum level.
7. Install and tighten radiator cap and start the engine.
After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and
reopen radiator cap. If the water level is lower,
replenish.WARNING:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature,
be sure not to loosen or remove the radiator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water. To open the radiator cap, put a piece
of thick cloth on the cap and loosen the cap slowly
to reduce the pressure once the coolant has
become cooler.
8. After tightening radiator cap, warm up the engine at
about 2,000 rpm.
Set heater adjustment to the highest temperature
position, and let the coolant circulate also into
heater water system.
9. Check to see the thermostat has opened by the
needle position of a water thermometer, conduct a
5-minute idle again and stop the engine.
10. When the engine has been cooled, check filler neck
for water level and replenish if required. Should
extreme shortage of coolant be found, check the
coolant system and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
11. Fill the coolant into the reservoir tank up to “MAX”
line.

To realize the compatibility between low exhaust
emission and high engine output, an HEUI
(Hydraulically actuated Electronically controlled Unit
Injector) system, has been introduced. This system is
comprised of a hydraulic system, fuel system, and
electronic control system, using a high-pressure oil
pump in place of the conventional fuel injection pump.
The oil pressurized by means of this pump and by
signals from the ECM (Electronic Control Module)
actuates the fuel injector provided for each cylinder.
Inside of the fuel injector, fuel pressure is increased due
to the high-pressure oil. The ECM detects the driving
state of the vehicle, forms, signals sent by engine and
other part sensors, which determines the optimum fuel
injection amount and timing, thus controlling the fuel
injectors. Thus high engine output, good fuel economy,
and low exhaust emission are realized.When working on the fuel system, there are several
things to keep in mind:
1) Any time the fuel system is being worked on,
disconnect the negative battery cable except for
those tests where battery voltage is required.
2) Always keep a dry chemical (Class B) fire
extinguisher near the work area.
3) Replace all pipes with the same pipe and fittings
that were removed.
Clean and inspect “O” rings. Replace where
required.
4) Always relieve the line pressure before servicing
any fuel system components.
5) Do not attempt repairs on the fuel system until you
have read the instructions and checked the pictures
relating to that repair.
6) After maintenance work, push priming pump and
send enough fuel to the fuel system before starting
the engine.
NOTE: In comparison with the conventional engine,
the capacity of fuel passage in the 4JX1 engine is
larger. It takes the priming pump more time to fill the
engine with fuel.

DIAGNOSIS
GENERAL ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION
The operating condition of the charging system is
indicated by the charge warning lamp. The warning
lamp comes on when the starter swtich is turned to
“ON” position. The charging system operates normallyif the lamp goes off when the engine starts. If the
warning lamp shows abnormality or if undercharged or
overcharged battery condition is suspected, perform
diagnosis by checking the charging system as follows:

Rectifier Assembly
1. Measure the resistance between each diode
terminal and aluminum diode fin in forward and
reverse directions with the connection of the tester
leads switched. The diodes are normal if resistance
is nearly zero ohms in one direction and is infinitely
high in the other direction.
2. If a diode has no resistance or equal resistance in
both directions, it is defective and should be
replaced together with the holder.
IC Regulator Assembly
Connect a variable resistor, two 12V batteries, a fixed
resistor, and a voltmeter to the IC regulator as shown in
illustration.
a. Measuring equipment specifications
1. Fixed resistor (R1) : 10 Ohms / 3W
2. Variable resistor (Rv) : 0 – 300 Ohms / 12W
3. Batteries (BAT1, BAT2) : 12V (2 Batteries)
4. DC voltmeter : 0 – 50V / 0.5 steps (4 Check points)
b. Measuring procedure
1. Measure the voltage “V1” across the first battery
(BAT1). If the reading is between 10 and 13 volts,
the battery is normal.
2. Measure the voltage “V3” across both the batteries
(BAT1, BAT2). If the reading is between 20 and 26
bolts, the batteries are normal.
3. Gradually increase the resistance of the variable
resistor from zero. Measure the voltage “V2” (the
voltage across the F and E terminals).
Check to see that the voltage across “V1” changes
at this time. If there is no change, the voltage
regulator is faulty and must be replaced.
4. Measure the voltage at “V4” (the voltage across the
variable resistor center tap and terminal E with the
variable resistor resistance held constant). The
measure voltage should be within the specified
(14.4 ± 0.3 volts) limits. If it is not, the regulator
must be replaced.
Reassembly
To reassemble, follow the disassembly steps in the
reverse order, noting the following points:
NOTE:
1) Never make battery connections with polarities
reversed, or battery will be shorted via the diodes.
This will cause damage to the diodes.
2) Do not connect generator B terminal to ground; it is
connected directly to the battery.
This cable will burn if it is connected to ground.
3) Make sure to disconnect the positive (+) terminal of
the battery when quick-charging battery.
Diodes may be damaged due to abnormal pulse
voltage generated by the quick charger.
4) When reassembling the front section to rear
section, insert a stiff wire into hole in the rear face
of the rear cover from the outboard side to support
the brush in raised position, then insert the front
section to which rotor is assembled.
5) Reassemble parts carefully to be sure they fit into
their original position, paying attention to the
insulated portions.
6) Wipe insulating tubes, washers and plates clean
and install them in position carefully to avoid getting
oil or grease on them.
