Automatic gear shift diagram
Automatic shift schedule as a result of shift control is shown below. In case that select lever is shifted to L at a
higher than 55 km/h or 34 mile/h speed, 2nd or 3rd gear is operated and then down shifts to 1st at a speed lower
than that. No up shift is available in L.
The same as, the select lever is shifted to 2 at a higher than 105 km/h (65 mile/h) speed, 3rd gear is operated
and then down shifts to 2nd at a speed lower than that.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B1-7
Diagnosis
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic transmission control system, which control the automatic shift up and
shift down timing, TCC operation, etc. suitably to vehicle driving conditions.
PCM (ECM) has an On-Board Diagnosis system which detects a malfunction in this system and abnormality of
those parts that influence the engine exhaust emission.
When diagnosing a trouble in the transmission including this system, be sure to have full understanding of the
outline of “ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM” and each item in “PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE”
and execute diagnosis according to “AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLE” to obtain
correct result smoothly.
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle without
monitor connector)
For automatic transmission control system, PCM (ECM) has fol-
lowing functions. Refer to Section 6-1 for details.
•When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a
stop, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) turns ON to check
the bulb of the MIL.
•When PCM detects a malfunction in A/T control system
(and/or a malfunction which gives an adverse effect to vehi-
cle emission) while the engine is running, it makes the mal-
function indicator lamp in the meter cluster of the instrument
panel turn ON and stores the malfunction area.
(If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are normal
after detecting a malfunction, however, it makes MIL (1) turn
OFF although DTC stored in its memory will remain.)
•It is possible to communicate through DLC (3) by using not
only SUZUKI scan tool (2). (Diagnostic information can be
accessed by using a scan tool (2).)

Refer to Section 6-1 for details.
PENDING DTC
Refer to Section 6-1 for details.
FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to Section 6-1 for details.

7B1-8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle with
monitor connector)
For automatic transmission control system, PCM (ECM) has fol-
lowing functions. Refer to Section 6/6-1 for details.
•When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a
stop, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) turns ON to check the
bulb of the MIL.
•When PCM detects a trouble in electronic shift control sys-
tem, it stores its trouble code in ECM back-up memory. (The
memory is kept as it is even if the trouble was only tempo-
rary and disappeared immediately. And it is not erased
unless the power to PCM is shut off for 30 seconds or
longer.)
•It is possible to communicate through DLC by using not only
SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be accessed by using a scan tool.)
•ECM also indicates trouble area in memory by means of
flashing of malfunction indicator lamp (1) at the time of
inspection. (i.e. when diagnosis switch terminal (3) is con-
nected to ground terminal (4) with a service wire (5) and igni-
tion switch is turned ON.)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T) 7B1-9
Precaution in Diagnosing Trouble
•Don’t disconnect couplers from PCM (ECM), battery cable
from battery, PCM ground wire harness from engine or main
fuse before checking the diagnosis information (DTC, freeze
frame data, etc.) stored in PCM memory. Such disconnec-
tion will clear memorized information in PCM memory.
•Using SUZUKI scan tool or also generic scan tool for vehicle
without monitor connector, the diagnostic information stored
in PCM memory can be checked and cleared as well. Before
its use, be sure to read Operator’s (Instruction) Manual sup-
plied with it carefully to have good understanding of its func-
tions and usage.
•Priorities for diagnosing troubles
If two or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored,
proceed to the flow table of the DTC which was detected
earliest in the order and follow the instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble
codes according to the following priorities.
–Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171/
P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too rich), DTC
P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 (Misfire
detected) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0171/P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too
rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306
(Misfire detected)
•Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIR-
CUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection and
observe what is written there.
•PCM replacement
When substituting a known-good PCM, check for following
conditions.
Neglecting this check may result in damage to a good PCM.
–All relays and actuators have resistance of specified value.
–MAF sensor, MDP sensor, TP sensor and fuel tank pres-
sure sensor are in good condition. Also, the power circuit of
these sensors is not shorted to the ground.
