Assuming the question is "Is there a condition for contravariant functors to preserve isomorphisms? Or reflect them?", the answer to the first is that all functors preserve isomorphism; the notion of isomorphism is self-dual, so it's not affected by contravariance.
One answer to the second is that there are two easy sufficient (but not necessary) conditions to reflect isomorphisms are A) that $F$ is full and faithful, or B) $F$ is faithful and the domain of $F$ is balanced (i.e. all morphisms that are both epimorphic and monomorphic are isomorphisms). Again, both of these conditions are self-dual, so contravariance changes nothing.
