Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) Check
1) Turn ON ignition switch (but the engine at stop) and check
that MIL (1) lights.
If MIL does not light up, go to “Diagnostic Flow Table A-1” for
troubleshooting.
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF.
3) If MIL remains ON, and no DTC is stored in ECM (PCM), go
to “Diagnostic Flow Table A-2” for troubleshooting.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check
[Using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Prepare generic scan tool or SUZUKI scan tool (2).
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect it to data link connector
(DLC) (3) located on underside of instrument panel at
driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A) : SUZUKI scan tool
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC and freeze frame data according to instructions
displayed on scan tool and print them or write them down.
Refer to scan tool operator’s manual for further details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM (PCM) is not
possible, check if scan tool is communicable by connecting it
to ECM (PCM) in another vehicle. If communication is possi-
ble in this case, scan tool is in good condition. Then check
data link connector and serial data line (circuit) in the vehicle
with which communication was not possible.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off and dis-
connect scan tool from data link connector.

Table A-1 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Circuit Check – Lamp Does Not Come
“ON” or Dims at Ignition Switch ON (But Engine at Stop)
WIRING DIAGRAM
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
When the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM causes the main relay to turn ON (close the contact point). Then,
ECM being supplied with the main power, turns ON the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL). When the engine
starts to run and no malfunction is detected in the system, MIL goes OFF but if a malfunction was or is detected,
MIL remains ON even when the engine is running.

2. To ignition switch
3. Main fuse

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data by using scan tool and start
engine.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 60 km/h (40 mph).
4) Keep driving above vehicle speed for 5 min (Change of vehicle speed is permitted in this step).
5) Stop vehicle and run engine at idle speed for 1 min.

WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that following conditions are satisfied when using this “DTC CONFIRMATION

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data by using scan tool and start
engine.
3) Increase vehicle speed to 55 km/h (35 mph) or more.
4) Keep driving above vehicle speed for 2 min. or more (Change of vehicle speed is permitted in this step).
5) Stop vehicle, and run engine at idle speed for 1 min.
