WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two conditions may
result in severe injury.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

6F1-2 IGNITION SYSTEM (SFI FOR G13)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ignition system is an electronic (distributorless) ignition system. It consists of the parts as described below and
has an electronic ignition control system.

ECM (PCM)
It detects the engine and vehicle conditions through the signals from the sensors, determines the most suitable
ignition timing and time for electricity to flow to the primary coil and sends a signal to the ignitor (power unit) in
the ignition coil assembly.

Ignition coil assembly (including an ignitor)
The ignition coil assembly has a built-in ignitor which turns ON and OFF the current flow to the primary coil accord-
ing to the signal from ECM (PCM). When the current flow to the primary coil is turned OFF, a high voltage is in-
duced in the secondary coil.

High tension cords and spark plugs.

CMP sensor (Camshaft position sensor) and CKP sensor (Crankshaft position sensor)
Using signals from these sensors, ECM (PCM) identifies the specific cylinder whose piston is in the compression
stroke and detects the crank angle.

TP sensor, ECT sensor, MAP sensor and other sensors / switches
Refer to section 6E2 for details.
Although this ignition system does not have a distributor, it has two ignition coil assemblies (one is for No.1 and
No.4 spark plugs and the other is for No.2 and No.3 spark plugs). When an ignition signal is sent from ECM (PCM)
to the ignitor in the ignition coil assembly for No.1 and No.4 spark plugs, a high voltage is induced in the secondary
coil and that passes through the high-tension cords and causes No.1 and No.4 spark plugs to spark simultaneously.
Likewise, when an ignition signal is sent to the ignitor in the other ignition coil assembly, No.2 and No.3 spark plugs
spark simultaneously.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
IGNITION SPARK TEST
1) Disconnect all injector couplers (1) from injectors (2).
WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
2) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type referring
to “Spark Plugs” in this section.
3) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly and
connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or high-tension
cord. Ground spark plug.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
5) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described un-
der “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.
HIGH-TENSION CORDS
1) Disconnect high-tension cords (1) from ignition coil assemblies
(2) while gripping each cap.
2) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping each
cap.

8G-2 IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The immobilizer control system designed to prevent vehicle burglar consists of following components.

Engine Control Module (ECM)

Immobilizer Control Module

Ignition key (with built-in transponder)

Coil antenna
Operation of this system is as follows.
(1) Each ignition key has its own code (Transponder code) stored in memory. When the ignition switch is turned
ON, Immobilizer Control Module tries to read the Transponder code through the coil antenna installed to the
steering lock assembly.
(2) Immobilizer Control Module compares the Transponder code read in (1) and that registered in Immobilizer Con-
trol Module and checks if they match.
(3) When it is confirmed that two Transponder codes match each other as described above, Immobilizer Control
Module and ECM check if ECM/Immobilizer Control Module codes registered in them respectively match.
(4) Only when it is confirmed that ECM/Immobilizer Control Module codes match, the engine starts running. If
Transponder codes in Step (2) or ECM/Immobilizer Control Module codes in Step (3) do not match, ECM will
stop operation of the injector and the ignitor (i.e., ignition of spark plug).
