DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)
CLEARANCE
[Using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1) to data link connector in the
same manner as when making this connection for DTC check.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Erase DTC and pending DTC according to instructions dis-
played on scan tool. Refer to scan tool operator’s manual for fur-
ther details.
4) After completing the clearance, turn ignition switch off and dis-
connect scan tool from data link connector.
NOTE:
DTC and freeze frame data stored in ECM (PCM) memory
are also cleared in following cases. Be careful not to clear
them before keeping their record.

When power to ECM (PCM) is cut off (by disconnecting
battery cable, removing fuse or disconnecting ECM
(PCM) connectors)

When the same malfunction (DTC) is not detected again
during 40 engine warm-up cycles.
[Not using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Turn the ignition switch OFF position.
2) Disconnect battery negative cable for specified time below to
erase diagnostic trouble code stored in ECM (PCM) memory
and reconnect it.
Time required to erase DTC:
Ambient
temperatureTime to cut power
to ECM (PCM)
Over 0C (32F)30 sec. or longer
Under 0C (32F)
Not specifiable.
Select a place with higher
than 0C (32F) temperature.

FAIL-SAFE TABLE
When any of the following DTCs is detected, ECM (PCM) enters fail-safe mode as long as malfunction continues
to exist but that mode is canceled when ECM (PCM) detects normal condition after that.
DTC NO.

opening and engine speed.

ENGINE BASIC INSPECTION
This check is very important for troubleshooting when ECM (PCM) has detected no DTC and no abnormality has
been found in visual inspection.
Follow the flow table carefully.
STEP
ACTIONYESNO
1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” performed?Go to Step 2.Go to “ENGINE DIAG.
FLOW TABLE”.
2Check battery voltage.
Is it 11 V or more?Go to Step 3.Charge or replace
battery.
3Is engine cranked?Go to Step 4.Go to “DIAGNOSIS”
in Section 6G.
4Does engine start?Go to Step 5.Go to Step 7.
5Check 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 700 – 800 r / min?Go to Step 6.“ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE” in this
section.
6Check ignition timing as follows:
1) Using SUZUKI scan tool, select “MISC” mode on
SUZUKI scan tool and fix ignition timing to initial
one. See Fig. 2.
2) Remove air cleaner bolt and shift air cleaner
position to observe ignition timing.
3) Using timing light (1), check initial ignition timing.
See Fig. 3.
Is it 5 ± 3 BTDC at specified idle speed?“ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE” in this
section.Check ignition control
related parts referring
to Section 6F1.
7Check fuel supply as follows:
1) Check to make sure that enough fuel is filled in fuel
tank.

OFF. See Fig. 4.
Is fuel return pressure (returning sounds) felt from fuel
feed hose (1) when ignition switch is turned ON?Go to Step 9.Go to Step 8.

filler for about 2 seconds after ignition switch ON
and stop?Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-3”.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-2”.
9Check 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 10.Go to “DIAGNOSIS”
in Section 6F1.
10Check fuel injector for operation as follows:
1) Install spark plugs and connect injector
connectors.

each injector (2) when cranking engine. See Fig. 5.
Was injector operating sound heard from all
injectors?“ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE” in this
section.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-1”.
