ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) 5E2-3
General Description
Components/Parts Location
The ABS (Antilock Brake System) controls the fluid pressure applied to the wheel cylinder of each brake from
the master cylinder so that each wheel is not locked even when hard braking is applied.
This ABS has also the following function.
While braking is applied, but before ABS control becomes effective, braking force is distributed between the
front and rear so as to prevent the rear wheels from being locked too early for better stability of the vehicle.The
main component parts of this ABS include the following parts in addition to those of the conventional brake sys-
tem.
Wheel speed sensor which senses revolution speed of each wheel and outputs its signal.
ABS warning lamp which lights to inform abnormality when system fails to operate properly.
ABS hydraulic unit/control module assembly is incorporated ABS control module, ABS hydraulic unit (actua-
tor assembly), fail-safe relay and pump motor relay.
–ABS control module which sends operation signal to ABS hydraulic unit to control fluid pressure applied to
each wheel cylinder based on signal from each wheel speed sensor so as to prevent wheel from locking.
–ABS hydraulic unit which operates according to signal from ABS control module to control fluid pressure
applied to wheel cylinder of each 4 wheels.
–Fail-safe relay (solenoid valve) relay which supplies power to solenoid valve in ABS hydraulic unit and
pump motor relay.
–Pump motor relay which supplies power to pump motor in ABS hydraulic unit.
G sensor which detects body deceleration speed. (For 4WD model only)
This ABS is equipped with Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) system that controls a fluid pressure of rear
wheels to best condition, which is the same function as that of proportioning valve, by the signal from wheel sen-
sor independently of change of load due to load capacity and so on. And if the EBD system fails to operate prop-
erly, the brake warning lamp lights to inform abnormality.

b) Problem Symptom Confirmation
Check if what the customer claimed in “CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE” is actually found in the vehicle
and if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the cus-
tomer if possible.) Check warning lamps related to brake system referring to “EBD WARNING LAMP
(BRAKE WARNING LAMP) CHECK” and “ABS WARNING LAMP CHECK” in this section.
c) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check, Record and Clearance
Perform “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK” procedure in this section, record it and then clear it
referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again
when the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this
step may mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2) to check control module for
proper self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3).
2) DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km/h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnor-
mal lighting of ABS warning light) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not nec-
essary. Proceed to Step 3).
3) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to “DTC CHECK” as shown in the following page.
4) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmation in Step 3), locate the cause of
the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator assembly or other part and repair
or replace faulty parts.
5)“DIAGNOSIS” IN “BRAKES” SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to “DIAGNOSIS” in “BRAKES” section
and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptom obtained through Steps 1)-a, 1)-b and 2) and
repair or replace faulty parts, if any).
6) CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“INTERMITTENT TROUBLE” in “GENERAL INFORMATION” section and related circuit of trouble code
recorded in Step 1)-c.
7) FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the ABS is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform test driving and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check (Using
ABS Warning Lamp)
1) Perform ABS WARNING LAMP CHECK described above.
2) Using service wire (4), connect diagnosis switch terminal (2)
of monitor coupler (1) to ground (3).
3) Turn ignition switch ON.
4) Read flashing of ABS warning lamp which represents DTC
as shown in example below and write it down. When more
than 2 DTCs are stored in memory, flashing for each DTC is
repeated three times starting with the smallest DTC number
in increasing order.
For details of DTC, refer to “DTC TABLE”.
Example : When right-front wheel speed sensor circuit opens (DTC 21)
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off, discon-
nect service wire from monitor coupler.

5E2-12 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
4) Repeat disconnecting and reconnecting of service wire
between diagnosis and ground terminals 5 times or more at
about 1sec. interval within 10 seconds.
5) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect service wire from
monitor coupler.
6) Perform “DRIVING TEST” (Step 2 of “ABS DIAGNOSTIC
FLOW TABLE” in this section) and “DTC CHECK” and con-
firm that normal DTC (DTC 12) is displayed ; not malfunction
DTC.

S : Short
T : About 10 seconds
NOTE:
It is also possible to clear DTC by using SUZUKI scan
tool. Refer to Cartridge Manual for procedure to clear
DTC.
CAUTION:
Be sure to perform “ABS DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLE” before starting diagnosis.

DTC C1015 (DTC 15) – G Sensor Circuit and 4WD Lamp Circuit
DESCRIPTION
G sensor
While a vehicle is at stop or running, if the potential difference between the sensor signal terminal “E136-11” and
the sensor ground terminal “E136-13” is not within the specified voltage value, or if the signal voltage while at a
stop does not vary from that while running, this DTC is set.
Therefore, this DTC may be set when a vehicle is lifted up and its wheel(s) is turned. In such case, clear the
DTC and check again.
When G sensor is installed to 2WD vehicle, this DTC is set.
4WD lamp
When 4WD lamp circuit open or shorted, this DTC is set.
