5) Fix ignition timing to initial one as follow.
Select “MISC” mode on SUZUKI scan tool and fix ignition tim-
ing to initial one.
6) Detach air cleaner case and shift air cleaner case and hose
position to observe ignition timing.
7) Using timing light (1), check that ignition timing is within specifi-
cation.
Initial ignition timing (fixed with
SUZUKI scan tool) : 5 3 BTDC at idle speed
Ignition order : 1-3-4-2
8) If ignition timing is out of specification, check the followings:
CKP sensor
Crankshaft timing belt pulley (signal rotor)
TP sensor
VSS
Timing belt cover installation
9) After checking Initial Ignition Timing, release ignition timing
fixation by using SUZUKI scan tool.
10) With engine idling (throttle opening at closed position and ve-
hicle stopped), check that ignition timing is about 9–15
BTDC. (Constant variation within a few degrees from 9–15
indicates no abnormality but proves operation of electronic tim-
ing control system.) Also, check that increasing engine speed
advances ignition timing.
If above check results are not satisfactory, check CKP sensor
and ECM (PCM).
11) Install air cleaner case.

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).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual men-
tioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.

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.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC) 7B-7
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM)
The powertrain control module controls the shift solenoid B (2nd
brake solenoid valve) and the shift solenoid A (direct clutch sole-
noid valve) by sending electric signals to them so as to attain auto-
matic gear shift between the 1st and 2nd gears, and the 2nd and
3rd gears. Equipped as PCM sensed parameters are the throttle
position sensor, transmission range switch and vehicle speed sen-
sor. These switch and sensors sense the throttle valve opening, se-
lector lever’s position and vehicle speed, and send those signals to
the powertrain control module. Then, the powertrain control module
opens and closes valves of the above solenoids according to these
signals. The powertrain control module is installed to the underside
of the instrument panel at the driver’s seat side.
GEAR SHIFT CONTROL SYSTEM
THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR (TP sensor)
The throttle position sensor consisting of a potentiometer is con-
nected to the throttle valve shaft.
Throttle valve opening signal (output voltage) is transmitted from
throttle position sensor to PCM as voltage signal. PCM uses it as
one of the signals to control transmission gear shift.

7B-8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3 A / T) (VEHICLE WITH WU-TWC)
TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR (SHIFT SWITCH)
Being linked with the selector lever, this sensor changes selector
lever positions into electric signals and send them to the engine
control module. The contact points of this sensor for P and N ranges
are also connected with the starting motor circuit.
So when the selector lever is shifted to the P or N range position,
the contact points for P or N range are connected and cause the
starting motor to operate by turning the starter switch ON.
When the selector lever is in any other position than P and N
ranges, the sensor remains OFF and therefore the starting motor
cannot be operated, that is, the engine cannot be started.
Also, as its contact point for R range is connected with the backup
lamp circuit, only when the selector lever is shifted to R range, the
contact point contacts to light the backup lamp.
DIRECT CLUTCH AND 2ND BRAKE SOLENOID
VALVES
These solenoid valves are mounted on the valve body. They are
turned ON and OFF by the signals from the engine control module
and actuate each shift valve (1 – 2 and 2 – 3 valves) so as to control
transmission gear shift.
Shift solenoid-B (2nd brake solenoid valve) operates 1 – 2 shift
valve, and shift solenoid-A (direct clutch solenoid valve) does 2 –
3 shift valve.
