2001 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA Shift

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.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 person, a driver and tester, on a level road.
Step Action Yes No
1Was “AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAG-
NOSTIC FLOW TABLE” performed?Go to Step 2. Go to “AUTOMATIC
TRANSMISSION DIAG-
NOSTIC FLOW TABLE” in
this section.
2 ECT check :
1) Warm up engine to normal operating tem-
perature.
2) Check ECT using scan tool.
Is ECT more than 30 °C (86 °F)?Go to Step 3. Faulty ECT sensor, its cir-
cuit or engine cooling sys-
tem.

2) Check voltage at terminals C51-1-6, C51-1-7,
C51-1-18, C51-1-19, C51-1-27 and C51-1-28
respectively with select lever shifted to each
range.
Taking terminal C51-1-28 as an example, is battery
voltage indicated only when select lever is shifted to
“2” range and 0 V for other ranges as shown in figure?
Check voltage at other terminals likewise, referring to
figure.
Are check results satisfactory?Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent
referring to “INTER-
MITTENT AND POOR
CONNECTION” in
Section 0A.Go to Step 5.
