Top 10 2001 Isuzu Rodeo Questions & Answers

There is no dipstick on your auto trans. Checking it is a real PITA The trans pan has 2 plugs in it. The one on the very bottom is the drain. The one in the corner, up higher in a recess is the check/fill plug. To check, the engine must be warm and running, tranny in P. Remove the plug and fluid should dribble out. If it doesn't it's low, fill until it dribbles out, while engine is running. Obviously the truck must be on a lift or up on jackstands.

reduced power usally points toward a gas pedal to throttle correlation meaning the drive by wire system is where the problem is

the clicking is the start relay which u don't hear unless the starter doesn't work, u have a defective starter solenoid, the internal contacts are burned, this is a NipponDenso style starter and they all have this same problem, u can replace the starter, replace the starter solenoid or replace the copper contacts in side the solenoid for around $12.00 USD

1. Remove the Phillips head or Torx head screws that are along the side windows of the hardtop. There will be three screws, 5/16-inch, on each side and a self tapping plate that is on the underside of the hard top frame. Start in the rear corners and work forward.
   
2. Step 2 Remove the five screws that hold the front of the hardtop to the windshield frame with the appropriate screwdriver.
   
3. Step 3 Disconnect the electrical connections in the rear driver's side of the vehicle. If the vehicle is equipped with a rear windshield wiper, dome light or rear defroster, these connectors are visible and can be disconnected by hand.
   
4. Step 4 Remove the hardtop with a lift or a partner. Wear gloves to prevent cuts and provide grip while removing the hardtop. Do not attempt to remove the top by yourself unless you have a hoist. Hardtops are constructed of metal and plastic that can weigh 200 pounds.

p1125 tells you the vehicule has gone into (limp) mode or reduced power. p1295 will direct you to a problem with your Throtlle position sensor and p1515 fault indicates theres a problem with the corilation between throttle position and commande giving.

i own a 2001 rodeo LS 3.2L and had this codes show up. The machine had really bad idling and when accelerating quick after first start would go into limp mode and not pick up speed pass 50 kms. i tryed changing the throttle position sensor.. nothing. tryed changing the spark plugs and noticed they looked unusually white (engine running lean) i put injector cleaner in with i freash tank of gas thinking the injectors were dirty and it seemed to help. Next a changed the fuel filter which completly solved my problem. at the last oil change they told me they changed it but didn't the inside of the filter was rusted and clogged starving the engine of fuel.

Problem solve for 15 $ after you change your filter take it to and auto parts store with a computer to reset the engine lights

Just did my fuel pump on the 2001 isuzu rodeo. Well here is what you need to do about the different wire colors. First disconnect your negative battery. Drop the fuel tank and replace pump. Remember to have a splice kit in hand. Ok now here is how you connect the different colored wires. Black goes with black. Gray goes with black and orange wire. Purple goes wit blue and yellow. And the last wires goes together. I hope this helps.

I Would Say It Means Automatic Transmission Fluid Is Hot ,So Check Its Level There should Be a Dip Stick For This If Not Then i Would Think something Is Wrong in The Gear box Or The Gearbox Oil Cooler If Fitted Could be An Integral Part Of The Radiator.

This worked for me:

probably not the immobilizer problem but a circuit failure ( starter relay, ignition switch, ignition fuse, bad ground , flat/ faulty battery) ECM
