2001 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA Under engine

7B1-20 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
Table A-2 : No Gear Shift to O/D
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
PCM does not shift to O/D gear under any of the following conditions.
•O/D off switch : ON
•4WD LOW switch : ON
•Cruise control module : O/D OFF command signal is output (if equipped).
•ECT : ECT < 30 °C (86 °F)
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.
If OK, substitute a known-
good PCM and recheck.
3 Perform running test under the following condi-
tions and check voltage between C51-1-2 termi-
nal of PCM coupler and ground, C51-1-1
terminal of PCM coupler and ground.
•O/D off switch OFF (“O/D OFF” lamp OFF).
•Normal mode in “D” range.
•Transfer “2H” position.
•Cruise control is not operated (if equipped).
•Drive vehicle with 4th gear condition refer-
ring to “Gear shift diagram” in this section.
Is each voltage about 0 V?Faulty shift solenoid valve,
its circuit or transmission“GRN” wire or “GRN/
RED” wire shorted to
power circuit.
If OK, go to Step 4.
4 O/D off switch signal inspection :
With ignition switch ON, check voltage between
E61-33 terminal of PCM coupler and ground.
“O/D” cut switch specification
“O/D” cut switch OFF : Battery voltage
“O/D” cut switch ON : 0 V
Is the result as specified?Go to Step 5. Faulty O/D off switch or its
circuit.
If OK, substitute a known-
good PCM and recheck.

Fluid level
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80 °C (158 – 176 °F)). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant
temperature meter indicated around 1 unit above “C” point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to “L” and back
to “P” position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it.
Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. if it
is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III up to
FULL HOT.
Fluid specification :
An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
[A] : Shift the select lever with its button pushed in.
[B] : Shift the select lever without pushing its button.
NOTE:
DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming
and loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).
If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
