8G-4 IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION)
Immobilizer Control Module & ECM diagnose troubles which may
occur in the area including the following parts when the ignition
switch is ON.

Ignition signal
With the diagnosis switch terminal of monitor coupler for ECM not
grounded, the ignition switch turned ON (but the engine at stop) and
regardless of the condition of the engine and emission control sys-
tem, ECM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobi-
lizer control system or not by causing the malfunction indicator lamp
to flash or turn ON.
Malfunction indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Malfunction indicator lamp is flashing:
ECM or Immobilizer Control Module has detected some trouble in
the immobilizer control system.
NOTE:
As soon as the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM and Immobi-
lizer Control Module diagnose if a trouble has occurred in the
immobilizer control system. While the diagnosis is being
made, the malfunction indicator lamp stays ON and if the diag-
nosis result is “abnormal”, it immediately changes to flashing
but if the result is “normal”, it remains ON. Diagnosis takes
about 3 seconds at maximum.
IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM 8G-7
[INTERMITTENT TROUBLES]
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal
and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a diagnostic trouble
code representing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and
has gone. In such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced
unnecessarily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instruc-
tions given below when checking by using “Diagnostic Flow
Table”.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a
trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what malfunction indicator lamp and / or output of diag-
nostic output terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal and /
or Suzuki scan tool indicate a diagnostic trouble code represent-
ing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and has gone. In
such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced unnecessar-
ily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instructions given
below when checking by using “Diagnostic Flow Table”.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or Suzuki scan tool indicate a trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what Suzuki scan tool and / or output of diagnostic out-
put terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK
(IMMOBILIZER CONTROL MODULE)
1) Using analog type voltmeter, connect positive probe to diagnos-
tic output terminal and negative probe to ground of immobilizer
diagnostic coupler with ignition switch turned ON.
2) Read deflection of voltmeter indicator which represents DTC as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to Immobilizer Control Module side in “Diagnostic Trouble
Code Table”.
If voltmeter indicator dose not deflect, go to “Diagnostic Flow
Table A”.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, volt-
meter indicates applicable codes three times each.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK (ECM)
[Not using SUZUKI scan tool] (Vehicle equipped with
monitor coupler)
1) Using service wire, ground diagnostic switch terminal in monitor
coupler.
2) Read DTC from flashing pattern of malfunction indicator lamp as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to ECM side in “Diagnostic Trouble Code Table”.
If lamp remains ON, go to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Check”
in Section 6.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, mal-
function indicator lamp indicates applicable codes three
times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as diagno-
sis terminal is grounded and ignition switch is held at ON
position.
