IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) 8G-5

With the diagnosis switch terminal of monitor coupler for
ECM / PCM not grounded, the ignition switch turned ON (but the en-
gine at stop) and regardless of the condition of the electronic fuel
injection system, ECM / PCM indicates whether a trouble has oc-
curred in the immobilizer control system or not by causing the mal-
function indicator lamp to flash or turn ON.
Malfunction indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Malfunction indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some
trouble in the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM / PCM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred
in the immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the malfunction indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is ªabnormalº, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is ªnormalº, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.

With the ignition switch turned ON (but the engine at stop) regard-
less of the condition of the electronic fuel injection system,
ECM / PCM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobi-
lizer control system or not by causing the immobilizer indicator lamp
to flash or turn ON.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some
trouble in the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM / PCM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred
in the immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the Immobilizer indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is ªabnormalº, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is ªnormalº, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.
When ECM / PCM and Immobilizer Control Module detects a
trouble which has occurred in the above areas, it stores DTC corre-
sponding to the exact trouble area in ECM / PCM and Immobilizer
Control Module memory.
DTCs stored in memory of each controller (Immobilizer Control
Module and ECM / PCM) can be read by using the procedure de-
scribed in ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK (IMMOBILIZ-
ER CONTROL MODULE)º and ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE
CHECK (ECM / PCM)º in this section.

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.

[NOTES ON SYSTEM CIRCUIT INSPECTION]
Refer to ªPrecautions for Electrical Circuit Serviceº and ªIntermit-
tents and Poor Connectionº in Section 0A.
[Precaution after replacing ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Mod-
ule]

When ECM / PCM was replaced, including when replaced be-
cause rechecking by using a known-good ECM / PCM was neces-
sary during trouble diagnosis, the ECM/Immobilizer Control Mod-
ule code must be registered in ECM / PCM and Immobilizer
Control Module by performing procedure described in ªProce-
dure after ECM / PCM Replacementº on p. 8G-27. If it is not regis-
tered, the engine would not start and accurate trouble diagnosis
would not be assured.

When Immobilizer Control Module was replaced, including when
replaced because rechecking by using a known-good Immobiliz-
er Control Module was necessary during trouble diagnosis, the
Transponder code and ECM/Immobilizer Control Module code
must be registered in Immobilizer Control Module and ECM/Im-
mobilizer Control Module code in ECM / PCM by performing pro-
cedure described in ªProcedure after Immobilizer Control Module
Replacementº on p. 8G-26. If they are not registered, the engine
would not start and accurate trouble diagnosis would not be as-
sured.
