ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (SFI FOR G13) 6-1-13
MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL)
CHECK
1) Turn ON ignition switch (but the engine at stop) and check that
MIL lights.
If MIL does not light up (or MIL dims), go to “Diagnostic Flow
Table A-1” for troubleshooting.
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF.
If MIL remains ON and no DTC is stored in ECM (PCM), go to
“Diagnostic Flow Table A-2” for troubleshooting.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK
1) Prepare SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1).
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect it to data link connector (DLC)
(1) located on underside of instrument panel at driver’s seat side.
Special Tool:
(A): SUZUKI scan tool
(B): Mass storage cartridge
(C): 16 / 14 pin DLC cable
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data according to
instructions displayed on scan tool and print it or write it down.
Refer to scan tool operator’s manual for further details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM (PCM) is not pos-
sible, check if scan tool is communicable by connecting it to
ECM (PCM) in another vehicle. If communication is possible in
this case, scan tool is in good condition. Then check data link
connector and serial data line (circuit) in the vehicle with which
communication was not possible.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off and discon-
nect scan tool from data link connector.

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.

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-
