    Theres an eprom underneath your dash, they should have a code retriever for the CEL, it plugs in and the code is retrieved on a scanner type box that they should carry, sorry if this didnt help

    did you check to see if you need to replace your intake gaskets?

    seems to be a common issue that makes the check engine light come on.

    if your check engine light is on there should be a code.. the tod light you have to check with an isuzu dealership tool or by "hotwiring" your data port under the dash.. i forget which pins you are supposed to connect but do a search for "abs code" and im sure you will find the instructions


    if they cant get a "P" code for the check engine light (or turn it off, even momentarily) check the fuse for your horn under the hood, if that blows, the data port under the dash stops working

    well this started as a transmission issue, and now its an 02 sensor,

    after rereading part of the thread, You have issues when it gets wet.

    My issues from over saturation of the underside are that the TOD freaks out, which basically points to speed sensors grounding out from the water.

    some of the most common codes have to do with the MAF and EGR cleanliness.

    There is a neutral safety switch on ebay if you check..was there the otherday anyway

    don't forget that your fuel pressure regulator can go bad

    your windows have a tendancy to tilt if they aren't lubricated and fixed with the window fix from SBC and the abs module can go out at a moments notice,

    These vehicles were HALO's a concept to production customer generating overpriced performance utility vehicle.

    They aren't gonna be perfect.. especially since they were discontinued after 2001 and only 4153 (debatable) were produced in a 3 year US run.. not to include the JDMs

    There is an awesome search function here that will just about pull up anything you might want to know.. and the archives are included in the search. The site is an awesome source of info.. us it to its fullest

    Happy New Year

    Jeff
