Warm-up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means sufficient vehicle operation such that the
coolant temperature has risen by at least 22C (40F) from engine
starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 70C (160F).
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup and engine shutoff.
2 Driving Cycle Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is stored in ECM
(PCM) memory (in the form of pending DTC and freeze frame data)
but the malfunction indicator lamp does not light at this time. It lights
up at the second detection of same malfunction also in the next driv-
ing cycle.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored temporarily at 1
driving cycle of the DTC which is detected in the 2 driving cycle
detection logic.
Freeze Frame Data
ECM (PCM) stores the engine and driving conditions (in the from
of data as shown at the left) at the moment of the detection of a mal-
function in its memory. This data is called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving conditions (e.g.,
whether the engine was warm or not, where the vehicle was running
or stopped, where air / fuel mixture was lean or rich) when a mal-
function was detected by checking the freeze frame data. Also,
ECM (PCM) has a function to store each freeze frame data for three
different malfunctions in the order as the malfunction is detected.
Utilizing this function, it is possible to know the order of malfunctions
that have been detected. Its use is helpful when rechecking or diag-
nosing a trouble.
Priority of freeze frame data:
ECM (PCM) has 4 frames where the freeze frame data can be
stored. The first frame stores the freeze frame data of the malfunc-
tion which was detected first. However, the freeze frame data
stored in this frame is updated according to the priority described
below. (If malfunction as described in the upper square “1” below
is detected while the freeze frame data in the lower square “2” has
been stored, the freeze frame data “2” will be updated by the freeze
frame data “1”.)

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.

SCAN TOOL DATA
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condition,
there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore, judgment
as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those detected by ECM (PCM) and
output from ECM (PCM) as commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in
the condition) as indicated by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing.
NOTE:
With the generic scan tool, only star () marked data in the table below can be read.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M / T gear to the neutral
gear position and A / T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if nothing or “no
load” is indicated, turn OFF A / C, all electric loads, P / S and all the other necessary switches.

SCAN TOOL DATA DEFINITIONS
FUEL SYSTEM (FUEL SYSTEM STATUS)
Air / fuel ratio feedback loop status displayed as either
open or closed loop. Open indicates that ECM (PCM)
ignores feedback from the exhaust oxygen sensor.
Closed indicates final injection duration is corrected
for oxygen sensor feedback.
CALC LOAD (CALCULATED LOAD VALUE, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum
possible load. Value is calculated mathematically us-
ing the formula: actual (current) intake air volume
maximum possible intake air volume x 100%.
COOLANT TEMP.
(ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE, C, F)
It is detected by engine coolant temp. sensor
SHORT FT B1 (SHORT TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Short term fuel trim value represents short term
corrections to the air / fuel mixture computation. A val-
ue of 0 indicates no correction, a value greater than
0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less
than 0 implies an enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (LONG TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Long term fuel trim Value represents long term correc-
tions to the air / fuel mixture computation. A value of 0
indicates no correction, a value greater than 0 means
an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 im-
plies an enleanment correction.
MAP (INTAKE MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE
PRESSURE, kPa, inHg)
It is detected by manifold absolute pressure sensor and
used (among other things) to compute engine load.
ENGINE SPEED (rpm)
It is computed by reference pulses from crankshaft
position sensor.
VEHICLE SPEED (km / h, MPH)
It is computed based on pulse signals from vehicle
speed sensor.
IGNITION ADVANCE
(IGNITION TIMING ADVANCE FOR NO.1
CYLINDER, )
Ignition timing of NO.1 cylinder is commanded by
ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be
checked by using the timing light.
INTAKE AIR TEMP. (C, F)
It is detected by intake air temp. sensor and used to
determine the amount of air passing into the intake
manifold as air density varies with temperature.
MAF (MASS AIR FLOW RATE, gm / s, lb / min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold
which is computed based on signals from MAP sen-
sor, IAT sensor, TP sensor, etc.
THROTTLE POS
(ABSOLUTE THROTTLE POSITION, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position,
throttle opening is indicated as 0% and 100% full open
position.
OXYGEN SENSOR B1 S1
(HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR-1, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S-1 installed on ex-
haust manifold (pre-catalyst).
OXYGEN SENSOR B1 S2
(HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR-2, V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S-2 installed on ex-
haust pipe (post-catalyst). It is used to detect catalyst
deterioration.
DESIRED IDLE (DESIRED IDLE SPEED, rpm)
The Desired Idle Speed is an ECM (PCM) internal pa-
rameter which indicates the ECM (PCM) requested
idle. If the engine is not running, this number is not valid.
TP SENSOR VOLT (THROTTLE POSITION
SENSOR OUTPUT VOLTAGE, V)
The Throttle Position Sensor reading provides throttle
valve opening information in the form of voltage.
INJ PULSE WIDTH
(FUEL INJECTION PULSE WIDTH, msec.)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive
(valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM
(PCM) (but injector drive time of NO.1 cylinder for
multiport fuel injection).
IAC FLOW DUTY (IDLE AIR (SPEED) CONTROL
DUTY, %)
This parameter indicates current flow time rate within
a certain set cycle of IAC valve (valve opening rate)
which controls the amount of bypass air (idle speed).
TOTAL FUEL TRIM (%)
The value of Total Fuel Trim is obtained by putting val-
ues of short Term Fuel Trim and Long Term Fuel Trim
together. This value indicates how much correction is
necessary to keep the air / fuel mixture stoichiomet-
rical.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage in-
putted from main relay to ECM (PCM).

TABLE A-1 MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP CIRCUIT CHECK – LAMP DOES
NOT COME “ON” AT IGNITION SWITCH ON (BUT ENGINE AT STOP)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM (PCM) causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point).
Then, ECM (PCM) being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the
engine starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is de-
tected, MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.
