Top 20 2003 Isuzu Axiom Questions & Answers

Its not the speed sensors any of them .It could a problem with the transmission however it could be something simple your smart not to drive it this could create a much bigger problem take it to a transmission guy .Let him know exactly what you know about its running this is important if he knows you know it will make his job easier and you won't get ripped off if he respects you.

Start at basics, do not assume that this or that is good, verify with a scanner and/or multi-meter if possible.verify that when attempting to start that anti-theft didn't enable. usually icon of key with lock illuminated or theft light flashing, check and see if headlights dim(amperage draw or load) while attempting to start. this will ensure your problem is not anti-theft. if you have access to an obdII scan tool try and pull diagnostic code(s) if present . Question, how long has it been sitting? does your Transponder have a good battery in it? Try closing all doors and with transponder lock and unlock with transponder. some times replacement of battery with doors open will accidentally enable try to reset security feature.. sounds like this is going to be your problem area I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/james_9ddabbbc483e2add

I suggest you refer to the vehicle owner's handbook where you should find detailed instructions and diagrams for a task that in some countries must be performed by the owner at the roadside whenever a bulb fails. Mostly the process is intuitive though sometimes a mirror is useful.

have the OBD codes read as may not be the anti theft , there are many sensors/switches that it could be

The FSM covers this , factory serv. man. so does alldata.com. log in and read. then ask questions about what is not clear.

if you just had the transmission rebuilt then take it back to were you had the work done as it maybe something that they either have or have not done that should have been.

The test you haven't mentioned is the fault codes and should have been the first test before any thing as the codes will tell you what has happened . So run the fault codes .

ur linkage come un clipped from the rod that goes into the transmission or ur bands need adjusted if its a clutch bleed the clutch

its one of ur fuses under the hood figure out which one

r u sure its the fuel pump?is it the anti theft??pump is in tank

When this happens the transmission has failed and you will need it removed and rebuilt it or replace it with a factory remanufactured unit (my first choice due to down time). Sorry to bring the bad news this near to the holidays. The cost is about $2500.00 Of course always have this type of expensive repair looked at by a ****** repair shop before just removing the transmission.

Likly to be low on gas or a blown fuse.

of course, the FIRST thing to check with anything electrical are the fuses

the light is the engine fuel management or emission light, could be the gas cap o2 sensor, evap system to name a few, best to get the engine analysed , guess work here will only make you spend money

Hello,
I know you just had a new transmission put in but my first suggestion would be to check the level of transmission fluid. However this transmission is "sealed" and must be checked from a little plug on the back of the transmission. If you pull it and fluid comes out then it is full. There is a transmission cooler on your truck and this should keep it cool if your level is full. The transmission fluid in your truck is recommended to use a synthetic fluid so perhaps inquire to the person who installed your transmission and make sure they used this. Not using a friction additive in the transmission fluid can and will make the plates overheat. You could have an issue with the sensor as well but I would suggest that you take the truck back to the person who installed the transmission right away and let them addresses it. You should have a 3 year warranty on it.
regards, Tony

Hi. You will need to Adjust each spark plug gap to 0.031-0.035 in. (0.8-0.9mm). With that said; i would check the status of all the ignition coils that are on top of each plug. Your engine is equipped with a COP coil design. Each plug will have its own individual coil on top. Each coil can be tested for proper resistance levels. You may have one or several bad coils that are malfunctioning. If these coils have not been changed, I would recommend to test each one to be sure that they are functioning at a high level.

Here is a simple testing procedure to verify that your coils are functioning as designed. A weak coil will cause a very hard start situation. Follow carefully:

1.First you will need to check the ignition coil assembly for insulation. Check terminals for corrosion or damage, and replace as necessary.

2. Next; Gather you ohmmeter or multimeter and measure the resistance of ignition coil assemblies and compare with the following specifications:

a. Terminal 1 to 2: Without 0 ohms or infinity maximum ohms.

b. Terminal 1 to 3: Without 0 ohms or infinity maximum ohms.

c. Terminal 2 to 3: Without 0 ohms or infinity maximum ohms.

3. Now; If the measured values exceed the specifications listed above, the ignition coil must be replaced.

it will be hard to tell you your problem with no more info than you have gave is the check engine or service engine soon light on? have you tried depressing accelerator pedal down slightly then trying to start? does vehicle have gas?you may want to check these things and repost.on a fuel injected vehicle such as this you shouldn,t have to touch accelerator at all to start but when you press pedal all the way to floor and try to start it puts vehicle in clear flood mode this may allow you to get started then once it starts again see if check engine light or service engine soon light stays on if so you have a diagnostic trouble code stored and by geeting your codes read then you will know what is causing problem hope this helps if not repost

No. Check of faulted PCM. With car off, turn key to ignition ON, and do not crank. Look for check engine light to flash. If it does not, PCM is faulty. Also, possible crank position sensor or cam position sensor failed. The PCM needs to verify a certain number of RPM before the fuel pump will turn on.

You can bring your car to most major parts stores and they will run a diagnostic for free. Odds are that its your O2 sensor. They typically go around 100 to 120k miles.
