GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-11
Be careful not to touch the electrical terminals of parts which
use microcomputers (e.g. electronic control unit like as
ECM, PCM, P / S controller, etc.). The static electricity from
your body can damage these parts.
Never connect any tester (voltmeter, ohmmeter, or whatever)
to electronic control unit when its coupler is disconnected.
Attempt to do it may cause damage to it.
Never connect an ohmmeter to electronic control unit with
its coupler connected to it. Attempt to do it may cause dam-
age to electronic control unit and sensors.
Be sure to use a specified voltmeter / ohmmeter. Otherwise,
accurate measurements may not be obtained or personal in-
jury may result. If not specified, use a voltmeter with high-im-
pedance (MΩ/ V minimum) or a digital type voltmeter.
When taking measurements at electrical connectors using a
tester probe (2), be sure to insert the probe from the wire har-
ness side (backside) of the connector (1).
When connecting meter probe (2) from terminal side of cou-
pler (1) because it can’t be connected from harness side, use
extra care not to bend male terminal of coupler of force its fe-
male terminal open for connection.
In case of such coupler as shown connect probe as shown
to avoid opening female terminal.
Never connect probe where (3) male terminal is supposed to
fit.
To avoid damage to the harness, protect its part which may
contact against a part forming a sharp angle by winding tape
or the like around it.
1. Check for loose connection

ECM
0A-12 GENERAL INFORMATION
When checking connection of terminals, check its male half
for bend and female half for excessive opening and both for
locking (looseness), corrosion, dust, etc.
Before measuring voltage to check for electrical system,
check to make sure that battery voltage is 11 V or higher.
Such terminal voltage check at low battery voltage will lead
to erroneous diagnosis.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT INSPECTION
PROCEDURE
While there are various electrical circuit inspection methods, de-
scribed here is a general method to check its open and short circuit
by using an ohmmeter and a voltmeter.
OPEN CIRCUIT CHECK
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As the cause is
in the connector or terminal in many cases, they need to be checked
particularly carefully.
Loose connection of connector.
Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust on it, poor
contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.).
Wire harness being open.
When checking system circuits including an electronic control unit
such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, etc., it is important to per-
form careful check, starting with items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit being checked
for loose connection. Also check lock condition of connector if
equipped with connector lock.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (TBI FOR G10) 6-7
Warm-up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means sufficient vehicle operation such that the
coolant temperature has risen by at least 22C (40F) from engine
starting and reaches a minimum temperature of 70C (160F).
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup, driving mode where a
malfunction would be detected if present and engine shutoff.
2 Driving Cycles Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is stored in ECM
(PCM) memory (in the form of pending DTC and freeze frame data)
but the malfunction indicator lamp does not light at this time. It lights
up at the second detection of same malfunction also in the next driv-
ing cycle.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored temporarily at 1
driving cycle of the DTC which is detected in the 2 driving cycles
detection logic.
Freeze Frame Data
ECM (PCM) stores the engine and driving conditions (in the from
of data as shown at the left) at the moment of the detection of a mal-
function in its memory. This data is called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving conditions (e.g.,
whether the engine was warm or not, where the vehicle was running
or stopped, where air / fuel mixture was lean or rich) when a mal-
function was detected by checking the freeze frame data. Also,
ECM (PCM) has a function to store each freeze frame data for three
different malfunctions in the order as the malfunction is detected.
Utilizing this function, it is possible to know the order of malfunctions
that have been detected. Its use is helpful when rechecking or diag-
nosing a trouble.
Priority of freeze frame data:
ECM (PCM) has 4 frames where the freeze frame data can be
stored. The first frame stores the freeze frame data of the malfunc-
tion which was detected first. However, the freeze frame data
stored in this frame is updated according to the priority described
below. (If malfunction as described in the upper square “1” below
is detected while the freeze frame data in the lower square “2” has
been stored, the freeze frame data “2” will be updated by the freeze
frame data “1”.)
PRIORITY
FREEZE FRAME DATA IN FRAME 1
1
Freeze frame data at initial detection of malfunction
among misfire detected (P0300-P0303), fuel
system too lean (P0171) and fuel system too rich
(P0172)
2Freeze frame data when a malfunction other than
those in “1” above is detected
ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (TBI FOR G10) 6-9
PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE
Don’t disconnect couplers from ECM (PCM), battery cable from
battery, ECM (PCM) ground wire harness from engine or main
fuse before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, freeze frame
data, etc.) stored in ECM (PCM) memory. Such disconnection will
erase memorized information in ECM (PCM) memory.
Diagnostic information stored in ECM (PCM) memory can be
cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1)
or generic scan tool. Before using scan tool, read its Operator’s
(Instruction) Manual carefully to have good understanding as to
what functions are available and how to use it.
Priorities for diagnosing troubles.
If two or more DTCs are stored, proceed to the flow table of the
DTC which has detected earliest in the order and follow the
instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes
according to the following priorities.
1. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171 /
P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich) and DTC P0300 /
P0301 / P0302 / P0303 (Misfire detected)
2. DTC P0171 / P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich)
3. DTC P0300 / P0301 / P0302 / P0303 (Misfire detected)
Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service” in Sec-
tion 0A before inspection and observe what is written there.
ECM (PCM) Replacement
When substituting a known-good ECM (PCM), check for following
conditions. Neglecting this check may cause damage to a known-
good ECM (PCM).
–Resistance value of all relays, actuators is as specified respec-
tively.
–MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of
power circuits of these sensors is shorted to ground.
ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (TBI FOR G10) 6-11
1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer. For this
purpose, use of such an inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for proper
analysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) / FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND
CLEARANCE
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to “DTC check” section. If DTC is indicated, print it and
freeze frame data or write them down and then clear them by referring to “DTC clearance” section. DTC indi-
cates malfunction that occurred in the system but does not indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the
past and the normal condition has been restored now. To check which case applies, check the symptom in
question according to Step 4 and recheck DTC according to Step 5.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step will lead
to incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.
NOTE:
If only Automatic transmission DTCs (P0705 / P0720 / P0753 / P0758 / P0751 / P0756) or Immobilizer
DTCs (P1620 – P1623) are indicated in this step, perform trouble diagnosis according to “Diagnosis”
in Section 7B or Section 8G.
3. and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine
referring to “Visual Inspection” section.
5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on information obtained in Step 1 Customer complaint analysis and Step 2 DTC / freeze frame data
check, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation Procedure” described
in each DTC Diagnosis section.
6. and 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC / FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to “DTC check” section for checking procedure.
8. ENGINE BASIC INSPECTION AND ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform basic engine check according to the “Engine Basic Inspection Flow Table” first. When the end of the
flow table has been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to ENGINE
DIAGNOSIS FLOW TABLE and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through
steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and / or basic engine check) and repair
or replace faulty parts, if any.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR DTC (See each DTC Diag. Flow Table)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 5 and referring to the applicable DTC diag. flow table in this section, locate
the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ECM (PCM) or other
part and repair or replace faulty parts.
10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION” in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the engine is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.
