6E1-30 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE SENSOR (ECT
SENSOR)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect battery negative cable at battery.
2) Drain coolant referring to Section 6B.
3) Remove air intake pipe.
4) Disconnect connector from ECT sensor.
5) Remove ECT sensor (1) from thermostat case.
INSPECTION
Immerse temperature sensing part of ECT sensor (1) in water (or
ice) and measure resistance between terminal “A” and “B” while
heating water gradually.
If measured resistance does not show such characteristic as
shown in left figure, replace ECT sensor (1).
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure noting the following:
Clean mating surfaces of ECT sensor (1) and thermostat
case.
Check O-ring for damage and replace if necessary.
Tighten ECT sensor (1) to specified torque.
Tightening torque
ECT sensor (a) : 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.5 lb-ft)
Connect connector to ECT sensor (1) securely.
Refill coolant referring to Section 6B. WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot.
Scalding fluid and steam can be blown out under pres-
sure if cap is taken off too soon.

OUTPUT SIGNALS OF THROTTLE VALVE OPENING
AND ENGINE COOLANT TEMP. (VEHICLE WITH A/T
ONLY)
THROTTLE VALVE OPENING SIGNAL INSPECTION
Check throttle valve opening (throttle position) signal referring to
step 1 of DTC P1700 (No.32 or 33) Flow Table in Section 7B. If
check result is not satisfactory, check each wire harness, circuit
connections and TP sensor.
ENGINE COOLANT TEMP. SIGNAL INSPECTION
Check engine coolant temp. signal referring to step 1 of DTC
P1705 (NO.51) Flow Table in Section 7B.
If check result is not satisfactory, check each wire harness, circuit
connection and ECT sensor.

EGR SYSTEM
SYSTEM INSPECTION (USING SUZUKI SCAN TOOL)
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Turn ignition switch ON and then select “DATA LIST” mode
on scan tool.
3) Make sure that vehicle condition is as following.
Vehicle speed = 0 km/h (0 KPH)
Engine speed ≤ 3000 rpm
4) Clear DTC by using “CLEAR INFO” mode.
5) With engine idling (without depressing accelerator pedal),
open EGR valve by using “STEP EGR” mode in “MISC
TEST” menu. In this state, according as EGR valve opening
increases engine idle speed drops. If not, possible cause is
clogged EGR gas passage, stuck or faulty EGR valve, poor
performance of ECT sensor or TP sensor or DTC and/or
pending DTC is (are) stored in ECM memory.
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove air intake pipe.
3) Remove EGR pipe.
4) Disconnect EGR valve connector.
5) Remove EGR valve and gasket from intake manifold.
