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”.

CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE (EXAMPLE)
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP
(“EPS” WARNING LAMP) CHECK
1) Turn ignition switch to ON position (but without running
engine), check that malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warn-
ing lamp) lights up. If lamp does not light up, go to “TABLE
A”. If lamp flashes, go to “TABLE B”.
2) Start engine and check that malfunction indictor lamp
(“CHECK ENGIE” light) turns OFF.
If lamp comes OFF, P/S system is in good condition.

DTC CHECK
USING SUZUKI SCAN TOOL
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) After setting cartridge connect SUZUKI scan tool to data link
connector (DLC) (1) located on underside of instrument
panel at driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A) : 09931-76011
(B) : Master storage cartridge
(C) : 09931-76030
3) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
4) Read DTC according to instructions displayed on SUZUKI
scan tool and print it or write it down referring to SUZUKI
SCAN TOOL OPERATOR’S MANUAL for further details.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch to OFF posi-
tion and disconnect SUZUKI scan tool from DLC.
NOT USING SUZUKI SCAN TOOL
1) Remove glove box.
2) Apply chocks to wheels, set shift lever to neutral position and
pull parking brake fully.
3) Start engine.
4) Using jumper wire (4), short diagnosis switch terminal (1) to
ground terminal (2) of monitor coupler (3).
5) Read flashing of “EPS” warning lamp which represents DTC
and write it down. When more than 2 DTCs are stored in
memory, each DTC is repeated 3 times starting with the
smallest DTC number in increasing order.
For details and example of DTC, refer to “DTC TABLE”.
6) After completing the check, turn ignition switch to OFF posi-
tion and disconnect jumper wire (4) from monitor coupler. NOTE:
If Suzuki scan tool cannot display DTC, perform “SERIAL
DATA LINK CIRCUIT CHECK” described in this section.
(B)(A) (C)1
NOTE:
DTC No.22 is indicated when ignition switch is ON and
engine is not running but if DTC No.12 is indicated when
engine is started, it means nothing abnormal.

straight-ahead position.
2) Check that tire inflation pressure is as specified. (Refer to
“TIRE PLACARD” on vehicle.)
3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module referring to DRIVER
AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE in Section 3C.
4) Start engine.
5) With engine idling, measure steering force by turning torque
wrench.
Steering force
: Less than 6.4 N·m (0.64 kg·m, 4.6 lb-ft)
6) Install drive air bag (inflator) module referring to DRIVER AIR
BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE in Section 3C.
