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 malfunction 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”.)
In the 2nd through the 4th frames, the freeze frame data of each malfunction is stored in the order as the mal-
function is detected. These data are not updated regardless of the priority.
Shown in the table below are examples of how freeze frame data are stored when two or more malfunctions are
detected.
Freeze Frame Data Clearance
The freeze frame data is cleared at the same time as clearance of DTC.
DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
DLC (1) is in compliance with SAEJ1962 in its installation posi-
tion, the shape of connector and pin assignment.
K line of ISO 9141 is used for SUZUKI scan tool or generic scan
tool to communicate with ECM (PCM), ABS control module and
Air bag SDM. SUZUKI serial data line is used for SUZUKI scan
tool to communicate with Immobilizer control module. PRIORITY FREEZE FRAME DATA IN FRAME 1

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-9
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle with
Monitor Connector)
ECM diagnosis troubles which may occur in the area including the
following parts when the ignition switch is ON and the engine is
running, and indicates the result by turning on of flashing mal-
function indicator lamp (1).
• Heated oxygen sensor (if equipped)
•ECT sensor
•TP sensor
• IAT sensor
• CMP sensor
•MAF sensor
• Knock sensor
• EGR (if equipped)
•VSS
• CPU (Central Processing Unit) of ECM
ECM and malfunction indicator lamp (1) operate as follows.
• Malfunction indicator lamp (1) light when the ignition switch
is turned ON (but the engine at stop) with the diagnosis
switch terminal ungrounded regardless of the condition of
Engine and Emission control system. This is only to check
the malfunction indicator lamp (1) bulb and its circuit.
• If the above areas of Engine and Emission control system is
free from any trouble after the engine start (while engine is
running), malfunction indicator lamp (1) turns OFF.
• When ECM detects a trouble which has occurred in the
above areas, it makes malfunction indicator lamp (1) turn ON
while the engine is running to warn the driver of such occur-
rence of trouble and at the same time it stores the trouble
area in ECM back-up memory. (The memory is kept as it is
even if the trouble was only temporary and disappeared
immediately. And it is not erased unless the power to ECM is
shut off for specified time.)
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 (2) is con-
nected to ground terminal (3) with a service wire and ignition
switch is turned ON.)
NOTE:
When a trouble occurs in the above areas and disappears
soon while the diagnosis switch terminal is ungrounded
and the engine is running, malfunction indicator lamp (1)
lights and remains ON as the trouble exists but it turns
OFF when the normal condition is restored.

DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
DLC (1) is in compliance with SAEJ1962 in its installation posi-
tion, the shape of connector and pin assignment.
K line of ISO 9141 is used for SUZUKI scan tool to communicate
with ECM (PCM), ABS control module and air bag SDM. SUZUKI
serial data line is used for SUZUKI scan tool to communicate with
Immobilizer control module.
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 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 (Vehicle without monitor connector)
If two or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, proceed to the flow table of the DTC which was
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.
– Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171/P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too
rich), DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 (Misfire detected) and DTC P0400 (EGR
flow malfunction)
– DTC P0171/P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
– DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 (Misfire detected)
• Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 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 respectively.
– MAF sensor, MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of power circuits of these sen-
sors is shorted to ground.

STEP 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 anal-
ysis and diagnosis.
NOTE:
The above form is a standard sample. It should be modified according to conditions characteristic of
each market.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-13
STEP 2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK
First, check DTC, referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK” in this section. If DTC is indicated,
record DTC and freeze frame data.
After that clear DTC referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section. DTC indicates
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 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6, 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC (including pending DTC)
in this step will lead to incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.

STEP 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 FLOW TABLE”.NOTE:
For A/T vehicle, if only DTC P0705, P0715, P0720, P0741, P0743, P0751, P0753, P0756, P0758, or P1875
is indicated in this step, proceed to “DIAGNOSIS” in SECTION 7B1.

STEP 9. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 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.
STEP 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.
STEP 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 malfunction DTC (a normal code) is indicated.
