INSPECTION ............................................ 3B1-28 WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System :
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

3B1-4 ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
The P/S system in this vehicle is controlled by P/S control module. P/S control module has an on-board diagnos-
tic system which detects a malfunction in this system.
When diagnosing troubles, be sure to have full understanding of the outline of “ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYS-
TEM” and each item in “PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE” and execute diagnosis according to “SYS-
TEM CHECK FLOW TABLE”.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
P/S control module performs on-board diagnosis (self-diagnosis)
on the system and operates “EPS” warning lamp (1) (malfunction
indicator lamp) as follows.
Malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warning lamp) lights when
the ignition switch is turned to ON position (but the engine at
stop) regardless of the condition of P/S control system. This
is only to check the malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warn-
ing lamp) bulb and its circuit.
If the areas monitored by P/S control module is free from any
trouble after the engine start (while engine is running), mal-
function indicator lamp (“EPS” warning lamp) turns OFF.
When P/S control module detects a trouble which has
occurred in the areas it monitors, malfunction indicator lamp
(“EPS” warning lamp) turns ON while the engine is running
to warn the driver of such occurrence of trouble and at the
same time it stores the exact trouble area in memory inside
of P/S control module.
PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
Take a note of DTC indicated first.
Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection
and observe what is written there.
When two or more troubles have occurred, their DTCs are indicated 3 times each starting with the smallest
code number and up.
DTC C1122 (DTC No.22) (engine speed signal failure) is indicated when ignition switch is ON position and
engine is not running but if indication changes to a normal one when engine is started, it means nothing
abnormal.
As DTC is stored in memory of P/S control module, be sure to clear memory after repair by performing the
procedure described in “DTC CLEARANCE”.

3B1-6 ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM
For identify current DTC, clear history DTC referring to “DTC CLEARANCE” in this section. NOTE:
As execution of “DTC CLEARANCE” will clear all malfunction DTCs, be sure to record all DTCs
before servicing.
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest numbered code will appear first.
If a code not listed on “DTC TABLE” is displayed, then the P/S control module is faulty.
DTC C1122 or DTC No.22 (flashing pattern : 22) is indicated when ignition switch is ON and engine
is not running but if DTC No.12 (flashing pattern : 12) is indicated when engine is started, it means
nothing abnormal.
Current DTC and history DTC can be identified by lighting and flashing of “EPS” warning lamp.
“EPS” warning lamp operates as follow depending on the trouble condition.
Current DTC is set.
(Abnormality exists at
present.)History DTC is set only.
(Faulty condition occurred
once in the past but normal
condition is restored at
present.)Current DTC and history
DTC exist.

3 1) Check if communication is possible by trying
communication with other controller
(ECM, ABS hydraulic unit/control module
assembly (if equipped) or SDM).
Is it possible to communicate with other control-
ler?Go to Step 4. Repair open in common
section of serial data cir-
cuit (“BLU” wire circuit)
used by all controllers or
short to ground or power
circuit which has occurred
somewhere in serial data
circuit (“BLU” wire circuit).
4 1) With ignition switch is OFF position, discon-
nect 8-pin (“G24”) connector from P/S con-
trol module.
2) Check proper connection at “G24-3” (“BLU”
wire) terminal for serial data circuit.
3) If OK, then check resistance between “G24-
3” (“BLU” wire) terminal and “BLU” wire ter-
minal for serial data circuit in DLC.
Is resistance 1 Ω or less?Substitute a known-good
P/S control module and
recheck.Repair high resistance or
