IGNITION KEY
The ignition key for the immobilizer control system has a built-in
transponder. Each transponder in the key has an each transmitting
code (Transponder code). The code will transmitted from the key
via the coil antenna to Immobilizer Control Module when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
COIL ANTENNA
The coil antenna is installed to the steering lock assembly. As it is
energized by Immobilizer Control Module, it transmits the trans-
ponder code of the ignition key to Immobilizer Control Module.

IMMOBILIZER CONTROL MODULE
Immobilizer Control Module is installed to the underside of the
instrument panel at the driver's seat side.
As main functions, Immobilizer Control Module checks matching
not only between the Transponder Code transmitted from the igni-
tion key and that registered in Immobilizer Control Module (Up to
4 different Transponder codes can be registered.) but also between
the ECM/Immobilizer Control Module code transmitted from
ECM / PCM and that registered in Immobilizer Control Module. In
addition, it has an on-board diagnostic system (self-diagnosis func-
tion) which is described in ªOn-Board Diagnostic System (Self-
Diagnosis Function)º in this section.
ECM / PCM
As main functions, ECM / PCM not only checks matching of ECM/
Immobilizer Control Module code but also has an on-board diag-
nostic system (self-diagnosis function) as described in ªOn-Board
Diagnostic System (Self-Diagnosis Function)º in this section.
For installation position of ECM / PCM, refer to Section 6E1 or 6E2.

[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.


There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal and/
or Suzuki scan tool indicates a diagnostic trouble code represent-
ing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and has gone. In
such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced unnecessar-
ily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instructions 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

put terminal and/or Suzuki scan tool indicates 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 Suzuki scan tool and/or output of diagnostic out-
put terminal indicates.
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.

INSPECTION OF ECM / PCM, IMMOBILIZER
CONTROL MODULE AND ITS CIRCUIT
ECM / PCM, Immobilizer Control Module and its circuit can be
checked at ECM / PCM wiring couplers and Immobilizer Control
Module wiring coupler by measuring voltage and resistance. De-
scribed here is only inspection of Immobilizer Control Module. For
inspection of ECM / PCM, refer to ªSECTION 6E1 or 6E2º.
CAUTION:
Immobilizer Control Module cannot be checked by itself. It
is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to
Immobilizer Control Module with coupler disconnected
from it.
Voltage Check
1) Remove Immobilizer Control Module from body with ignition
switch OFF, referring to p. 8G-24.
2) Connect Immobilizer Control Module coupler to Immobilizer
Control Module.
3) Check voltage at each terminal of coupler connected.
NOTE:
As each terminal voltage is affected by the battery voltage,
confirm that it is 11 V or more when ignition switch is ON.
