2001 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA ignition system

7B1-8 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle with
monitor connector)
For automatic transmission control system, PCM (ECM) has fol-
lowing functions. Refer to Section 6/6-1 for details.
•When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a
stop, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) turns ON to check the
bulb of the MIL.
•When PCM detects a trouble in electronic shift control sys-
tem, it stores its trouble code in ECM back-up memory. (The
memory is kept as it is even if the trouble was only tempo-
rary and disappeared immediately. And it is not erased
unless the power to PCM is shut off for 30 seconds or
longer.)
•It is possible to communicate through DLC by using not only
SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be accessed by using a scan tool.)
•ECM also indicates trouble area in memory by means of
flashing of malfunction indicator lamp (1) at the time of
inspection. (i.e. when diagnosis switch terminal (3) is con-
nected to ground terminal (4) with a service wire (5) and igni-
tion switch is turned ON.)

Manual Road Test
This test check the gear being used in “L”, “2” or “D” range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehi-
cle on a level road.
1) Disconnect shift solenoid coupler (1) valves on transmission.
2) With select lever in “P”, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in “L” range, start vehicle and accelerate to
20 km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is
being used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to “2” range and
accelerate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd
gear is being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to “D” range and
check that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40
km/h (25 mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect
shift solenoids coupler (1) with ignition switch OFF.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
Time Lag Test
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since
select lever is shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range and measure time from that moment till shock
is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N“ to “R” range.
Specification for time lag :NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid cou-
pler (1).
