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.

Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test

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.

der “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.

IGNITION TIMING
NOTE:
Ignition timing is not adjustable. If ignition timing is out of
specification, check system related parts.
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift lever in
“Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T model),
and set parking brake.
INSPECTION
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
Special Tool
(A): 09931-76011 (SUZUKI scan tool)
(B): Mass storage cartridge
(C): 09931-76030 (16 / 14 pin DLC cable)
2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3) Make sure that all of electrical loads except ignition are switched
off.
4) Check to be sure that idle speed is within specification.
(Refer to SECTION 6E2)

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.
