With the ignition switch turned ON (but the engine at stop) regard-
less of the condition of the engine and emission control system,
ECM indicates whether a trouble has occurred in the immobilizer
control system or not by causing the immobilizer indicator lamp to
flash or turn ON.
Immobilizer indicator lamp is ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer control system.
Immobilizer 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 Immobilizer 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.
When ECM and Immobilizer Control Module detects a trouble, it
stores DTC corresponding to the exact trouble area in ECM and Im-
mobilizer Control Module memory.
DTCs stored in memory of each controller (Immobilizer Control
Module and ECM) can be read by using the procedure described
in “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK (IMMOBILIZER CON-
TROL MODULE)” and “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
(ECM)” in this section.

8G-6 IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
ECM and Immobilizer Control Module have on-board diagnostic
system (a system self-diagnosis function) as described previously.
Investigate where the trouble is by referring to “DIAGNOSTIC
FLOW TABLE” and “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE TABLE” on
later pages.
PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
[PRECAUTIONS IN IDENTIFYING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE
CODE]
ECM


Before identifying diagnostic trouble code indicated by malfunc-
tion indicator lamp, don’t disconnect couplers from ECM, battery
cable from battery, ECM ground wire harness from engine.
Such disconnection will clear trouble codes for engine and emis-
sion control system stored in memory of ECM.

If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, malfunc-
tion indicator lamp indicates applicable codes three times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as diagnosis ter-
minal is grounded and ignition switch is held at ON position.

When ECM detects a trouble in both engine and emission control
system and immobilizer control system, malfunction indicator
lamp indicates trouble codes of both systems alternately while the
ignition switch is turned ON and the diagnosis terminal is
grounded.

Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.


Before identifying diagnostic trouble code indicated through Su-
zuki scan tool, don’t disconnect couplers from ECM, battery cable
from battery, ECM ground wire harness from engine.
Such disconnection will clear trouble codes for engine and emis-
sion control system stored in memory of ECM.

When ECM detects a trouble in both engine and emission control
system and immobilizer control system, Suzuki scan tool indi-
cates trouble codes of both systems using Suzuki mode of ECM
applications.

Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.

Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.

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.

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.

3) Turn ignition switch ON.
4) Read DTC stored in ECM according to instructions displayed on
Suzuki scan tool and print it or write it down. Refer to Suzuki scan
tool operator’s manual for further details.
NOTE:

When reading DTC stored in ECM using Suzuki scan tool,
select “ECM” from the applications menu and “SUZUKI
mode” from the communication mode menu displayed on
Suzuki scan tool.

If ECM detects a trouble in both electric fuel injection sys-
tem and immobilizer control system, Suzuki scan tool in-
dicates trouble codes of both systems using Suzuki mode
of ECM application.
If communication between Suzuki scan tool and ECM is not pos-
sible, check if Suzuki scan tool is communicable by connecting
it to ECM in another vehicle. If communication is possible in this
case, Suzuki 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 Suzuki scan tool from data link connector (DLC).
