2001 Isuzu Rodeo Service and Repair Manual

For 2001, the Rodeo range was split into S, S V6, LS and LSE trims, and an Anniversary Edition joined the lineup. The 2.2L DOHC four-cylinder powered the base S, while the others used the 205-hp 3.2L DOHC V6. Matching trim to engine is the first step when ordering parts or looking up specifications for this four-door SUV. This service and repair manual covers the 2001 Rodeo with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both engines.

Known issues on the 2001 Rodeo. Four recalls are on federal record: passenger air bag inflators loaded with the wrong amount of propellant, which could rupture on deployment (01V055000); passenger air bag inflators built without a check valve pin, so the bag may not inflate properly (02V213000); corrosion in salt-belt states at the forward mounting bracket for the rear suspension lower link, which can detach from the frame (10V436000); and fuel return hoses made with the wrong outer rubber, which can crack and leak fuel (00V298000).
