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 cab le from the battery to reduce the chance
of cable damage and burning due to short circuiting.
3. Use a cov er 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 av ailable 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 v ary 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 f aces of the parts with
oil or grease before installation.
11. When necessary, use a sealer on gaskets to pre vent
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 inf ormation. 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 revie w 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.
