0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
SERVICING AND HANDLING
WARNING:
Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“AIR BAG” fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s) from
initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module. When placing a live air
bag (inflator) module on a bench or other surface,
always face the bag up, away from the surface. As the
live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be placed
with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the work-
bench with a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it
securely at its lower mounting bracket. This is neces-
sary so that a free space is provided to allow the air
bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator)
modules (driver and passenger). If disposal is neces-
sary, be sure to deploy them according to deployment
procedures described in SECTION 10B before dis-
posal.
The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it
off before proceeding the work.
After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
[A] : ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG
OPENING) AWAY FROM BODY.
[B] : ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE ON WORKBENCH WITH TRIM
COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS 6-11
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
ELC (1) is in compliance with SAEJ1962 in its installation posi-
tion, the shape of connector and pin assignment.
Serial data line (K line of ISO 9141) is used for SUZUKI scan tool
(Tech-1) to communicate with ECM, TCM, ABS control module
and Air bag SDM.
SUZUKI serial data line is used for SUZUKI scan tool (Tech -1) to
communicate with immobilizer control module.
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE
Do not disconnect couplers from ECM, battery cable from battery, ECM ground wire harness from engine or
main fuse before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in ECM memory.
Such disconnection will erase memorized information in ECM memory.
Diagnostic information stored in ECM memory can be cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan
tool (Tech-1) or generic scan tool (Vehicle with immobilizer indicator lamp). Before using scan tool, read its
Operator’s (Instruction) Manual carefully to have good understanding as to what functions are available and
how to use it.
Priorities for diagnosing troubles (Vehicle with immobilizer indicator lamp).
If two or more DTCs are stored, proceed to the flow table of the DTC which has detected earliest in the order
(it can be identified by referring to freeze frame data) and follow the instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes according to the following priorities.
–Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171/P0172 (Fuel system too lean/too rich), DTC
P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304 (Misfire detected) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0171/P0172 (Fuel system too lean/too rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304 (Misfire detected)
Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service” in Section 0A before inspection and observe what
is written there.
ECM Replacement
When substituting a known-good ECM, check for following conditions. Neglecting this check may cause
damage to a known-good ECM.
–Resistance value of all relays, actuators is as specified respectively.
–MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of power circuits of these sensors is shorted
to ground.AMBIENT
TEMPERATURETIME TO CUT POWER TO ECM
Over 0°C (32°F) 60 sec. or longer
Under 0°C (32°F) Not specifiable. Select a place with
temperature higher than 0°C (32°F).
