ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (SFI FOR G13) 6-1-9
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE
Don’t disconnect couplers from ECM (PCM), battery cable from
battery, ECM (PCM) ground wire harness from engine or main
fuse before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, freeze frame
data, etc.) stored in ECM (PCM) memory. Such disconnection will
erase memorized information in ECM (PCM) memory.
Diagnostic information stored in ECM (PCM) memory can be
cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1)
or generic scan tool. 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
If two or more DTCs are stored, proceed to the flow table of the
DTC which was detected earliest in the order and follow the
instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
1. 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)
2. DTC P0171 / P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich) and DTC
P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
3. DTC P0300 / P0301 / P0302 / P0303 / P0304 (Misfire detected)
Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service” in Sec-
tion 0A before inspection and observe what is written there.
ECM (PCM) Replacement
When substituting a known-good ECM (PCM), check for following
conditions. Neglecting this check may cause damage to a known-
good ECM (PCM).
–Resistance value of all relays, actuators is as specified respec-
tively.
–MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of
power circuits of these sensors is shorted to ground.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (SFI FOR G13) 6-1-11
1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer. For this
purpose, use of such an inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for proper
analysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) / FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND
CLEARANCE
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to “DTC check” section. If DTC is indicated, print it and
freeze frame data or write them down and then clear them by referring to “DTC clearance” section. DTC indi-
cates malfunction that occurred in the system but does not indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the
past and the normal condition has been restored now. To check which case applies, check the symptom in
question according to Step 4 and recheck DTC according to Step 5.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step will lead
to incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.
NOTE:
If only Automatic transmission DTCs (P0705-P0758) or Immobilizer DTCs (P1610-P1614) are indicated
in this step, perform trouble diagnosis according to “Diagnosis” in Section 7B or Section 8G.
3. and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine
referring to “Visual Inspection” section.
5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on information obtained in Step 1 Customer complaint analysis and Step 2 DTC / freeze frame data
check, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation Procedure” described
in each DTC Diagnosis section.
6. and 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC / FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to “DTC check” section for checking procedure.
8. ENGINE BASIC INSPECTION AND ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform basic engine check according to the “Engine Basic Inspection Flow Table” first. When the end of the
flow table has been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to SYMP-
TOMS-TO-DIAGNOSIS MATRIX TABLE and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms ob-
tained through steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and / or basic engine
check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR DTC (See each DTC Diag. Flow Table)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 5 and referring to the applicable DTC diag. flow table in this section, locate
the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ECM (PCM) or other
part and repair or replace faulty parts.
10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION” in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the engine is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.

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.
