Daihatsu Rocky

Two unrelated vehicles carry this name and the diagnosis does not transfer. The 1984-2002 Rocky is a body-on-frame off-roader, also sold as the Feroza, with a live rear axle and mechanical diesel or carburetted petrol engines that set no codes. The 2019-on Rocky is a small front-drive crossover on the DNGA platform, sold as the Toyota Raize and Perodua Ativa, with a 1.0 turbo three-cylinder and a CVT — a completely different machine. On the modern car the recurring item is the CVT's fluid condition and its temperature-related ratio codes; on the old one there is nothing to read at all.

Information, not instruction

CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.

Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:

  • The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
  • What you measured, not only what you replaced.
  • What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
