Upper Limit Lower Limit 7.19 Engine Stops Suddenly Oil Gauge 1. Check engine oil and refill if the level is below the low level. Oil should be leveled between LOW and HIGH in the oil gauge. 2. Check coolant and refill if the level is below LOW in the sub tank.
7-20 Monitor Lamp Blinking This unit is equipped with monitoring function and the monitoring lamp flashes when defect is detected. The EMPS III diagnostic equipment would be necessary if the engine control module and etc. in the electronic fuel injection system may be caused. Contact your local Isuzu dealer if the monitor lamp may flush and did not cure the problem.
