all positions and for good performance of transmis-
sion in any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also
check that shift indicator indicates properly according
to which position select lever is shifted to.
CAUTION:
With automatic transmission equipped ve-
hicle, make sure that vehicle is at complete
stop when shifting select lever to “P” range
position and release all brakes.
Brake
[Foot brake]
Check the following;
that brake pedal has proper travel,
that brake works properly,
that it is free from noise,
that vehicle does not pull to one side when brake is
applied,
and that brake does not drag.
WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe
place where no man or no running vehicle is
seen so as to prevent any accident.
WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be
sure to have enough room around the vehicle.
Then, firmly apply both the parking brake and
the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator
pedal. If the engine starts, be ready to turn off
the ignition promptly. Take these precautions
because the car could move without warning
and possibly cause personal injury or proper-
ty damage.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC) 7B-3
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The automatic transmission consists of the hydraulic torque converter, electronically controlled 3-speed automatic
transmission, countershaft and differential.
The transmission consists of 2 planetary gears, 2 disk clutches, 1 band brake, 1 disk brake and 1 one-way clutch.
Its operation is controlled by selecting a position from 6 positions (P, R, N, D, 2 and L ranges) manually by means
of the selector lever installed on the compartment floor.
In the D or 2 range, the gear ratio is changed for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd speed (D range only) automatically by engine
control module (electronic control).
For the automatic transmission fluid, DEXRON
-E, DEXRON- or its equivalent must be used. Lubrication
in the automatic transmission is provided by the oil pump which is operated by the engine revolution. Therefore,
the engine should not be stopped even during coasting to obtain proper lubrication.
When it becomes necessary to be towed, front wheels must be raised so as not to roll them.

PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE
Don’t disconnect couplers from PCM, battery cable from battery, PMC ground wire harness from engine or main
fuse before checking the diagnosis information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in PCM memory.
Such disconnection will clear memorized information in PCM.
Using SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1) the diagnostic information stored in PCM memory can be checked and cleared
as well. Before its use, be sure to read Operator’s (instruction) Manual supplied with it carefully to have good
understanding of its functions and usage.
Priorities for diagnosing troubles
If two or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, proceed to flow table (chart) of DTC which was de-
tected earliest in order and follow instruction in that table (chart).
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes 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 “PRECAUTION FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection and
observe what is written there.
PCM replacement
When substituting a known-good PCM, check for following conditions.
Neglecting this check may result in damage to good PCM.
–All relays and actuators have resistance of specified value.
–MAF sensor, TP sensor and fuel tank pressure sensor (if equipped) are in good condition. Also, the power cir-
cuit of these sensors is not shorted to the ground.
