REFERENCE
Oscilloscope waveforms of CMP sensor REF signal and No.1
ignition trigger signal are as shown in figure when connecting
oscilloscope between terminal C51-1-13 of ECM (PCM) connec-
tor connected to ECM (PCM) and ground, and between terminal
C51-2-28 and ground. 7 CMP Sensor Check
1) Check CMP sensor.
Refer to Step 6 or 7 of “DTC P0340 DIAG.
FLOW TABLE” in Section 6-1.
Is check result satisfactory?Substitute a known-good
ECM (or PCM) and then
repeat Step 2.Tighten CMP sensor bolt
or replace CMP sensor.
8 Ignition Timing Check
1) Check initial ignition timing and ignition tim-
ing advance, referring to “IGNITION TIM-
ING CHECK AND ADJUSTMENT” in this
section.
Is check result satisfactory?System is in good condi-
tion.Adjust ignition timing or
check ECM (PCM) input
signals related to this sys-
tem. Step Action Yes No
1. REF signal of CMP sensor
2. No.1 ignition trigger signal
3. Primary coil current flow time

6F2-6 IGNITION SYSTEM (FOR H27 ENGINE)
Ignition Spark Check
1) Remove surge tank cover.
2) Disconnect injector coupler (1).
3) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type, refer-
ring to “SPARK PLUG” in this section.
4) If OK, connect ignition coil coupler to ignition coil assembly
and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly. Ground
spark plug.
5) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described
under “DIAGNOSIS” in this section.
6) After checking, install spark plug, referring to “SPARK PLUG”
in this section.
7) Connect injector coupler (1).
8) Install surge tank cover.
Ignition Timing Check and Adjustment
1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
2) Make sure that all of electrical loads except ignition are
switched off.
3) Check to be sure that idle speed is within specification.
Refer to Section 6E2.
4) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC (1) with ignition switch
OFF, restart engine and fix ignition timing by using fixed
spark mode of SUZUKI scan tool.
Special tool
(A) : SUZUKI scan tool WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector coupler, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
model), and set parking brake.

6H-4 CHARGING SYSTEM
•Using ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
slip ring and rotor. If there is continuity, replace rotor.
•Check slip rings for roughness or scoring. If rough or scored,
replace rotor.
Using a vernier caliper, measure the slip ring diameter.
If the diameter is less than minimum, replace the rotor.
Standard diameter of slip ring
: 14.2 – 14.4 mm (0.557 – 0.567 in.)
Minimum diameter of slip ring
: 12.8 mm (0.504 in.)
Stator
•Using ohmmeter, check all leads for continuity. If there is no
continuity, replace stator.
•Using ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
coil leads and stator core. If there is continuity, replace sta-
tor.
