[INTERMITTENT TROUBLES]


There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal
and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a diagnostic trouble
code representing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and
has gone. In such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced
unnecessarily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instruc-
tions given below when checking by using ªDiagnostic Flow
Tableº.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM / PCM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a
trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what malfunction indicator lamp and / or output of diag-
nostic output terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK
(IMMOBILIZER CONTROL MODULE)
1) Using analog type voltmeter, connect positive probe to diagnos-
tic output terminal and negative probe to ground of immobilizer
diagnostic coupler with ignition switch turned ON.
2) Read deflection of voltmeter indicator which represents DTC as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to Immobilizer Control Module side in ªDiagnostic Trouble
Code Tableº.
If voltmeter indicator dose not deflect, go to ªDiagnostic Flow
Table Aº.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, volt-
meter indicates applicable codes three times each.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK (ECM/PCM)
[Not using SUZUKI scan tool] (Vehicle equipped with
monitor coupler)
1) Using service wire, ground diagnostic switch terminal in monitor
coupler.
2) Read DTC from flashing pattern of malfunction indicator lamp as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to ECM / PCM side in ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Tableº.
If lamp remains ON, go to ªMalfunction Indicator Lamp Checkº
in Section 6.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, mal-
function indicator lamp indicates applicable codes three
times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as diagno-
sis terminal is grounded and ignition switch is held at ON
position.

[Using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) After setting cartridge to Suzuki scan tool, connect it to data link
connector (DLC) located on underside of instrument panel at
driver's seat side.
Special Tool
(A): 09931-76011 (Suzuki scan tool)
(B): Mass storage cartridge
(C): 09931-76030 (16 / 12 pin DLC adapter)
3) Turn ignition switch ON.
4) Read DTC according to instructions displayed on Suzuki scan
tool and print it or write it down. Refer to Suzuki scan tool opera-
tor's manual for further details.
NOTE:

When reading DTC stored in ECM / PCM using Suzuki scan
tool, select ªECMº from the applications menu and ªSU-
ZUKI modeº from the communication mode menu dis-
played on Suzuki scan tool.

If ECM / PCM detects a trouble in both electric fuel injec-
tion system and immobilizer control system, Suzuki scan
tool indicates trouble codes of both systems using Suzu-
ki mode of ECM application.
If communication between Suzuki scan tool and ECM / PCM is
not possible, check if Suzuki scan tool is communicable by con-
necting it to ECM / PCM in another vehicle. If communication is
possible in this case, Suzuki scan tool is in good condition. Then
check data link connector and serial data line (circuit) in the ve-
hicle with which communication was not possible.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch OFF and discon-
nect Suzuki scan tool from data link connector (DLC).
