ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS 6-23
ENGINE BASIC INSPECTION
This check is very important for troubleshooting when ECM has detected no DTC and no abnormality has been
found in visual inspection.
Follow the flow table carefully.
Step Action Yes No
1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” per-
formed?Go to Step 2. Go to “ENGINE DIAG.
FLOW TABLE”.
2 Check battery voltage.
Is it 11 V or more?Go to Step 3. Charge or replace battery.
3 Is engine cranked? Go to Step 4. Go to “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 6G.
4 Does engine start? Go to Step 5. Go to Step 7.
5 Check idle speed as follows :
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temp.
2) Shift transmission to neutral position for M/T
(“P” position for A/T).
3) All of electrical loads are switched off.
4) Check engine idle speed with scan tool.
See Fig. 1.
Is it 650 – 750 r/min (700 – 800 r/min. for A/T
vehicle)?Go to Step 6. Go to “ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE”.
6 Check ignition timing as follows :
1) When SUZUKI scan tool is not available,
disconnect scan tool from DLC and connect
test switch terminal of monitor connector to
ground. See Fig. 2.
When using SUZUKI scan tool, select
“MISC” mode on SUZUKI scan tool and fix
ignition timing to initial one. See Fig. 3.
2) Using timing light (1), check initial ignition
timing. See Fig. 4.
Is it 5° ± 3° BTDC at specified idle speed?Go to “ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE”.Check ignition control
related parts referring to
Section 6F1.
7 Is immobilizer control system equipped? Go to Step 8. Go to Step 9.
8 Check immobilizer system malfunction as fol-
lows.
1) Check immobilizer indicator lamp or MIL
(malfunction indicator lamp) for flashing.
Is it flashing when ignition switch is turned to
ON position?Go to “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 8G.Go to Step 9.
9 Check fuel supply as follows :
1) Check to make sure that enough fuel is
filled in fuel tank.
2) Turn ON ignition switch for 2 seconds and
then OFF. See Fig. 5.
Is fuel pressure felt from fuel feed hose (1)
when ignition switch is turned ON?Go to Step 11. Go to Step 10.
10 Check fuel pump for operating.
Was fuel pump operating sound heard from fuel
filler for about 10 seconds after ignition switch
ON and stop?Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-3”.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-2”.
6-24 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
Fig. 1 for Step 5
Fig. 2 for Step 611 Check ignition spark as follows :
1) Disconnect injector couplers.
2) Remove spark plugs and connect them to
high tension cords.
3) Ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug
sparks.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 12. Go to “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 6F1.
12 Check fuel injector for operation as follows :
1) Install spark plugs and connect injector con-
nectors.
2) Using sound scope (1), check operating
sound of each injector (2) when cranking
engine. See Fig. 6.
Was injector operating sound heard from all
injectors?Go to “ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE”.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-1”. Step Action Yes No
