1999 Isuzu Rodeo Service and Repair Manual

Topping the S and LS, a new LSE trim appears in the 1999 Rodeo lineup. Engines stayed the 2.2L DOHC four-cylinder and the 205-hp 3.2L DOHC V6 in the four-door SUV. The 1999 model sits before the 2000 facelift, so its lighting, bumpers and some body parts differ from later trucks. This service and repair manual covers the 1999 Rodeo with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for every trim and both engines, from timing-belt service to brake hydraulics.

Known issues on the 1999 Rodeo. Five recalls are on federal record: a safety improvement campaign replacing 2.2L four-cylinder timing belts that could break early and stall the engine (01I002000); corrosion in salt-belt states at the forward mounting bracket for the rear suspension lower link, which can detach from the frame (10V436000); ABS control software that could lengthen stopping distances, fixed with a revised algorithm (02I002000); and unevenly painted rear axles that can let the rear lower link bracket nut loosen and the link separate (00V058000). One further campaign covers structure:body. NHTSA also holds 579 owner complaints, most often citing service brakes, brake hydraulics and fuel system. Use the manual's procedures, torque specifications and wiring diagrams when checking or repairing these components.
