Known issues on the 1983 S15 Jimmy. The federal record for the 1983 S15 Jimmy is clean — no recalls, and no owner complaints logged with NHTSA. That makes the manual a reference rather than a warning, and its most-used parts are the engine sections for three quite different units, the driveline and brake procedures, and the wiring diagrams for a body with more circuits in it than a pickup. Specifications, torque values and diagnostic sequences accompany each system.
