7B-16 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
To check DTC, refer to “DTC CHECK” in this section. When a DTC exists, it means existence of a malfunction in
the system represented by that code but whether it still exists (current) or it occurred in the past and has gone
(history) is unknown. To know it, clear this DTC once (Refer to “DTC CLEARANCE” in this section.), perform
test drive and/or “TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION” in this section and then check DTC again as
described in “DTC CHECK”. Attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this step only or fail-
ure to clear the DTC in this step may mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Even after checking the
DTC with the SUZUKI scan tool, diagnosis should be performed according to this flow chart to check TCM for
proper self-diagnosis function.
3 and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, perform visual check of the following items that support proper function of the automatic
transmission.
5.TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check if what the customer claimed in “CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS” is actually found in the vehicle
and if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the customer
if possible.)
When the symptom is not actually found, possibility is :
The symptom occurs under certain conditions.
----- Retry with the vehicle under different conditions.
The trouble occurred only temporarily and normal operation has been restored.
----- Perform “DTC CHECK” and if the diagnostic trouble code is indicated, inspect according to the flow
table for that DTC.
6 and 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC
Refer to “DTC CHECK” in this section.INSPECTION ITEM REFERRING SECTION
Engine oil ----- level, leakage Section 0B
Engine coolant ----- level, leakage Section 0B
A/T fluid ----- level, leakage, color Section 0B
Battery ----- fluid level, corrosion of terminal
A/T fluid hoses ----- disconnection, looseness, deterioration
Connectors of electric wire harness ----- disconnection, friction Section 8
Fuses ----- burning Section 8
Parts ----- installation, bolt ----- looseness
Parts ----- deformation
Other parts that can be checked visually
Also add following items at engine start.
Indicator, warning lights in combination meter ----- ON
(indicating abnormality in system) or OFFSection 8C

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGNO-
SIS
TCM has on-board diagnostic system (a system self-diagnosis
function). Investigate where the trouble is by referring to “DIAG-
NOSTIC FLOW TABLE” and “DTC TABLE” in this section.
PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
[PRECAUTIONS IN IDENTIFYING DTC]
For vehicle equipped with immobilizer indicator lamp (2)
(which comes on when turning on ignition switch leaving
engine OFF), malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) comes on
when TCM detects malfunction of automatic transmission
system.
For vehicle equipped without immobilizer indicator lamp (2),
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) does not come on
although TCM detects malfunction of automatic transmission
system.
Don’t disconnect couplers from TCM, battery cable from bat-
tery, TCM ground wire harness from engine or main fuse
before checking DTC stored in TCM memory.
Such disconnection will clear memorized information in TCM
memory.
Using SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1) (4), diagnostic trouble
code (DTC) stored in TCM memory can be checked and
cleared as well.
Before its use, be sure to read Operator’s (instruction) Man-
ual supplied with it carefully to have good understanding of
its functions and usage.
Not using scan tool, the DTC stored in TCM memory also
can be checked and cleared.
DTC stored in the TCM memory is outputted by flashing of
“O/D OFF” lamp (3) with diagnosis switch terminal of monitor
connector No.2 (5) grounded.
If no DTC is stored in TCM memory, DTC No.12 is outputted
repeatedly.
If one or more DTCs are stored in TCM memory, they are
outputted starting from smallest code number in increasing
order.
After all DTCs are outputted, all DTCs are outputted repeat-
edly.
Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIR-
CUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection and
observe what is written there.
When replacing TCM with used one, all learned contents
which are stored in TCM memory should be erased after the
replacement referring to “LEARNING CONTROL INITIAL-
IZATION” in this section.

DTC DETECTING CONDITION
Automatic transmission doesn’t shift to 1st gear at vehicle start in “D” range.
Step Action Yes No
1 Check voltage between terminal “C44-2” of
TCM coupler and body ground with ignition
switch ON.
Is it 10 – 14 V?Go to Step 2. YEL/BLK wire open or
faulty

switch ON.
Is it about 0 V?Poor “C44-2” or “C44-15”
connection.
If all above are OK,
replace known-good TCM
and recheck.“BLK” wire open.
