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.

ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-27
Scan tool data definitions
COOLANT TEMP (Engine Coolant Temp., °C/°F)
It is detected by engine coolant temp. sensor.
INTAKE AIR TEMP (°C/°F)
It is detected by intake air temp. sensor.
DESIRE IDLE (Desired Idle Speed RPM)
The desired idle speed is an ECM (PCM) internal parameter which indicates the ECM (PCM) requested idle. If
the engine is not running, the number is not valid.
CLOSED THROT POS (Closed Throttle Position ON/OFF)
This parameter will read ON when the throttle valve is fully closed. Or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
IAC FLOW DUTY (%)
This parameter indicates IAC valve opening rate which controls bypass air flow.
ENGINE SPEED (RPM)
It is computed by reference pulses from the Camshaft Position Sensor.
SHORT FT B1 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / SHORT FT B2 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
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, %)
Long term fuel trim value represents long 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.
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
using the timing light.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage inputted from main relay to ECM (PCM).
MAF (Mass Air Flow Rate, g/s, lb/min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold which is measured by mass air flow sensor.
INJ PULSE WIDTH B1 (Fuel Injection Pulse Width Bank 1, msec) / INJ PULSE WIDTH B2 (Fuel Injec-
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.
