2018-2024 - JB74
Fourth-generation Jimny with 1.5L K15B gasoline engine, ladder-frame chassis and market-specific emissions equipment.
Engine codes and variants
M13A - 1.3L inline-4
1998-2018 / 1.3L / Gasoline / Naturally aspirated
- Öltyp
- 5W-30 commonly used; verify climate and market manual.
- Ölmenge
- Approximately 3.7-4.0 L with filter depending on market.
- Related diagnostic codes
- P0203, P0204, P0300, P0171
Off-road use makes connector contamination and wiring checks more important than parts guessing.
Common failure patterns
Vacuum hose crackingInjector circuit faultsIgnition misfire after water/off-road exposure
K15B - 1.5L inline-4
2018-2024 / 1.5L / Gasoline / Naturally aspirated
- Öltyp
- 0W-20 or 5W-30 depending on market and climate.
- Ölmenge
- Approximately 3.6-4.0 L with filter; verify market manual.
- Related diagnostic codes
- P0235, P0106, P0171, P0300
P0235 on naturally aspirated variants should be treated as MAP/barometric plausibility, wiring or sensor-data issue rather than turbo boost.
Common failure patterns
MAP sensor plausibility complaintsVacuum leaksOff-road intake contamination

Wartungsschwerpunkte
Engine oil and filter
Shorter interval after dusty/off-road use
Dust contamination makes air filter and oil service more important.
Related: P0171, P0106
Transfer case and differential fluids
Inspect after water crossings or heavy off-road use
Water contamination can damage drivetrain bearings.
Air filter
Inspect frequently in dusty use
Restricted or contaminated intake can affect MAP/fuel trim diagnosis.
