GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O / D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled
lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 4 disc
type brakes and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (ªPº, ªRº, ªNº, ªDº, ª2º
and ªLº) by means of the select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O / D) cut switch
which allows shift-up to the overdrive mode (except at 4L) and shift-down from the overdrive mode. Also, by using
the P / N change switch located on the console box, it is possible to select the gear change timing of 2 modes, nor-
mal and power.

2Check Transmission Range Switch (Sensor) Circuit for
Operation.
When using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Turn ignition switch ON and check transmission
range signal (P, R, N, D, 2 or L) on display
when shifting select lever to each range.
Is applicable range indicated?
When not using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage at terminals C51-1-15, C51-1-16,
C51-1-17, C51-1-18, C51-1-27 and C51-1-28 for
G16/J20 (C51-1-4, C51-1-3, C51-1-13, C51-1-12,
C51-1-20 and C51-1-19 for H25) respectively with
select lever shifted to each range.
Taking terminal C51-1-28 for G16/J20 (C51-1-20 for
H25) as an example, is battery voltage indicated
only when select lever is shifted to ª2º range and
0 V for other ranges as shown in figure?
Check voltage at other terminals likewise, referring
to figure.
Are check results satisfactory?Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent
referring to ªIntermit-
tent and Poor
Connectionº in
section 0A.Go to Step 3.

Cable Adjustmentº in this section.
Is it adjusted correctly?Go to Step 4.Adjust.
4Check Transmission Range Switch for Installation
Position.
1) Shift select lever to ªNº range.
2) Check that ªNº reference line on switch and center
line on shaft are aligned.
Are they aligned?Go to Step 5.Adjust.
5Check Transmission Range Switch (Sensor) referring
to ªTransmission Range Switchº in this section.
Are check results satisfactory?ªYº, ªOr / Gº, ªRº,
ªOr / Blº, ªY / Gº,
