ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE) 6E2-15
Idle Speed/Idle Air Control (IAC) Duty Inspec-
tion
Before idle speed/IAC duty check, make sure of the following.
•Lead wires and hoses of engine/emission control systems
are connected securely.
•Accelerator cable is adjusted.
•Ignition timing is within specification.
•All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, A/C, etc.) are out of
service.
•Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condi-
tion.
•ECM (PCM) does not detect any malfunction DTC.
After above items are all confirmed, check idle speed and IAC
duty as follows.
[Using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
Special tool
(A) : SUZUKI scan tool
2) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Check IAC duty and idle speed by using “Data List” mode of
SUZUKI scan tool.
Engine idle speed:
A/C OFF: 700 ± 50 r/min.
A/C ON: 750 ± 50 r/min.
IAC duty at specified idle speed:
5 – 40 % (at A/C OFF)
4) If duty and/or idle speed is out of specifications, check idle
air control system referring to “DIAG. FLOW TABLE B-4” in
Section 6-1.
5) Check that specified engine idle speed is obtained with A/C
ON if vehicle is equipped with A/C. If not, check A/C ON sig-
nal circuit and idle air control system. NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
vehicle), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.

Stall Test
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission and engine by measuring stall speed at “D”
and “R” ranges. Be sure to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature and
its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to “P”.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to “D” and depress accelerator pedal fully while watching tachometer. Read engine rpm
quickly when it has become constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in “R” range.
8) Stall speed should be within the following specification.
Stall speed :
2,460 – 2,760 r/min.
TROUBLESHOOTING
CAUTION:
Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continuously, for fluid temperature may rise exces-
sively high.
After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running at idle for longer than 30 seconds before
another stall test.
Condition Possible cause
Lower than standard level•Faulty engine output
•Defective torque converter
Higher than standard level in “D” range•Slippery O/D clutch
•Slippery forward clutch
•Malfunctioning O/D one-way clutch
•Malfunctioning one-way clutch No. 2
•Low line pressure
Higher than standard level in “R” range•Slippery direct clutch
•Slippery reverse brake
•Low fluid pressure
•Slippery O/D clutch
•Defective O/D one-way clutch

Line Pressure Test
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part
by measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure
test requires following conditions.
•Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80
°
C/158 – 176 °F).
•Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW
HOT on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against
wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole (1) in
transmission case.
Special tool
(A) : 09925-37811-001
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall.
4) Check fluid pressure in “D” or “R” range within the following
specification.
Line pressure :
5) If check result is OK, disconnect special tool, then tighten
transmission case plug to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Transmission case plug : 17 N·m (1.7 kg-m, 12.0 lb-ft) CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer
than 5 seconds.

Manual Road Test
This test check the gear being used in “L”, “2” or “D” range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehi-
cle on a level road.
1) Disconnect shift solenoid coupler (1) valves on transmission.
2) With select lever in “P”, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in “L” range, start vehicle and accelerate to
20 km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is
being used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to “2” range and
accelerate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd
gear is being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to “D” range and
check that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40
km/h (25 mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect
shift solenoids coupler (1) with ignition switch OFF.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
Time Lag Test
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since
select lever is shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range and measure time from that moment till shock
is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N“ to “R” range.
Specification for time lag :NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid cou-
pler (1).

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.
