6-1-24 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
Scan Tool Data
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condi-
tion, there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore,
judgment as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those output from ECM (PCM) as
Commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condition) as indicated
by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing referring to Section 6F2.
NOTE:
For asterisk (
✱) marked item in “OTHER” column, item can be read only SUZUKI scan tool.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M/T gear to the
neutral gear position and A/T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if
nothing or “no load” is indicated, turn OFF A/C, all electric loads, P/S and all the other necessary
switches.

Short term fuel trim value represents short term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / LONG FT B2 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)

cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
IGNITION ADVANCE (Ignition Timing Advance For No.1 Cylinder, °)
Ignition timing of No.1 cylinder is commanded by ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be checked by

tion Pulse Width Bank 2, msec)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive (valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM (PCM).
THROTTLE POS (Absolute Throttle Position, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position, throttle opening is indicated as 0 % and 100 % for full open
position.

Voltage, V)
If indicates output voltage of HO2S SENSOR 2 installed on exhaust pipe (post-catalyst). It is used to detect cat-
alyst deterioration.
FUEL SYSTEM B1 (Fuel System Bank 1 Status) / Fuel System B2 (Fuel System Bank 2 Status)
Air/fuel ratio feedback loop status displayed as one of the followings.
OPEN : Open loop-has not yet satisfied conditions to go closed loop.
CLOSED : Closed loop-using oxygen sensor(s) as feedback for fuel control.
OPEN-DRIVE COND : Open loop due to driving conditions (Power enrichment, etc.).
OPEN SYS FAULT : Open loop due to detected system fault.
CLOSED-ONE O2S : Closed loop, but fault with at least one oxygen sensor may be using single oxygen sensor

If at P or N range, “P/N range” is displayed and if at R, D, 2 or L range, “D range” is displayed.
FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor
is set as 0 to 100 %, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may
be only 70 % even when the fuel tank is full.
ELECTRIC LOAD (ON/OFF)
ON : Small light switch ON or rear window defogger switch ON.
OFF : Small light switch OFF and rear window defogger switch OFF.
VSS (4-A/T) (km/h, MPH)

THROT POS LEVEL (Throttle Position Level For 4-A/T, “0”, “1”, “2”, “3”, “4”,“5”,“6” or “7”)
This parameter indicates which level (zone) the throttle valve opening is in.
The throttle opening is divided into 8 levels (zones) from “0” (about idle position) to “7” (about full open) and sig-
nals are assigned to each opening level (zone). PCM controls the automatic gear change of the automatic trans-
mission by using these signals according to the signal from the TP sensor.
GEAR POSITION (1ST, 2ND, 3RD or 4TH)
