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.

DIAGNOSIS
ECM / PCM and Immobilizer Control Module have on-board diag-
nostic system (a system self-diagnosis function) as described pre-
viously.
Investigate where the trouble is by referring to ªDiagnostic Flow
Tableº and ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Tableº on later pages.
PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
[PRECAUTIONS IN IDENTIFYING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE]
ECM / PCM
Before identifying diagnostic trouble code indicated by malfunc-
tion indicator lamp, don't disconnect couplers from ECM / PCM,
battery cable from battery, ECM / PCM ground wire harness from
engine.
Such disconnection will clear trouble codes for electronic fuel in-
jection system stored in memory of ECM / PCM.
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, malfunc-
tion indicator lamp indicates applicable codes three times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as diagnosis ter-
minal is grounded and ignition switch is held at ON position.
When ECM / PCM detects a trouble in both electronic fuel injec-
tion system and immobilizer control system, malfunction indicator
lamp indicates trouble codes of both systems alternately while the
ignition switch is turned ON and the diagnosis terminal is
grounded.
Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.
Before identifying diagnostic trouble code indicated through Su-
zuki scan tool, don't disconnect couplers from ECM / PCM, bat-
tery cable from battery, ECM / PCM ground wire harness from en-
gine.
Such disconnection will clear trouble codes for electronic fuel in-
jection system stored in memory of ECM / PCM.
Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.
Immobilizer Control Module
Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.

BACK DOOR / REAR GATE ASSEMBLY
REMOVAL
1) Remove back door trim, and door / rear gate sealing cover, refer
to steps 1) to 4) of BACK DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY in this sec-
tion.
2) Remove wire harness connector inside the back door / rear gate.
3) Remove back door / rear gate balancer (first at its door-side and
next at its body-side), as shown.
WARNING:
Handling of Back Door / Rear Gate Balancer (Damper)
Do not disassemble balancer because its cylinder is
filled with gas.
The gas itself is harmless but it may issue out of the
hole together with chips generated by the drill.
Therefore, be sure to wear goggle.
When discarding removed back door / rear gate balanc-
er (damper), use a 2 to 3 mm (0.08 to 0.12 in.) drill to
make a hole as shown.
Handle balancer carefully. Do not scar or scratch ex-
posed surface of its piston rod, and never allow any
paint or oil to stick to its surface.
Do not turn piston rod with balancer fully extended.
5) Remove back door / rear gate hinge bolts and back door / rear
gate.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-7
Special Tool (Air Bag Driver/Passenger Load Tool)
(B): 09932-75010
This tool is used only when called for in this section. It is used as
a diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent air bag (in-
flator) module deployment and seat belt pretensioner activation.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case are electri-
cally functional and serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (ªAº: BASE OF COLUMN) is used to substitute
the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module and the contact coil
assembly when it is connected at the base of the column to the air
bag wire harness.
Another connector (ªBº: STEERING WHEEL) is used to substitute
the load of followings.
Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at the top of
the column to the contact coil assembly.
Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the
air bag harness connector for passenger air bag (inflator) module.
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioner when it is connected
to air bag harness connector for driver and passenger seat belt
pretensioner.
The third connector (ªCº: PASSENGER INFLATOR) is not used.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when called for, a de-
termination can be made as to whether an inflator circuit compo-
nent is causing system malfunction and which component is caus-
ing the malfunction.
The load tool should be used only when specifically called for in the
diagnostic procedures.
