IGNITION KEY
The ignition key for the immobilizer control system has a built-in
transponder. Each transponder in the key has an each transmitting
code (Transponder code). The code will transmitted from the key
via the coil antenna to Immobilizer Control Module when the ignition
switch is turned ON.
COIL ANTENNA
The coil antenna is installed to the steering lock assembly. As it is
energized by Immobilizer Control Module, it transmits the trans-
ponder code of the ignition key to Immobilizer Control Module.

8G-4 IMMOBILIZER CONTROL SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
IMMOBILIZER CONTROL MODULE
Immobilizer Control Module is installed to the underside of the
instrument panel at the driver's seat side.
As main functions, Immobilizer Control Module checks matching
not only between the Transponder Code transmitted from the igni-
tion key and that registered in Immobilizer Control Module (Up to
4 different Transponder codes can be registered.) but also between
the ECM/Immobilizer Control Module code transmitted from
ECM / PCM and that registered in Immobilizer Control Module. In
addition, it has an on-board diagnostic system (self-diagnosis func-
tion) which is described in ªOn-Board Diagnostic System (Self-
Diagnosis Function)º in this section.
ECM / PCM
As main functions, ECM / PCM not only checks matching of ECM/
Immobilizer Control Module code but also has an on-board diag-
nostic system (self-diagnosis function) as described in ªOn-Board
Diagnostic System (Self-Diagnosis Function)º in this section.
For installation position of ECM / PCM, refer to Section 6E1 or 6E2.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
(SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION)
Immobilizer Control Module and ECM / PCM diagnose troubles
which may occur in the area including the following parts when the
ignition switch is ON.

[INTERMITTENT TROUBLES]
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal
and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a diagnostic trouble
code representing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and
has gone. In such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced
unnecessarily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instruc-
tions given below when checking by using ªDiagnostic Flow
Tableº.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM / PCM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a
trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what malfunction indicator lamp and / or output of diag-
nostic output terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal and/
or Suzuki scan tool indicates a diagnostic trouble code represent-
ing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and has gone. In
such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced unnecessar-
ily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instructions given
below when checking by using ªDiagnostic Flow Tableº.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good

* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and/or Suzuki scan tool indicates a trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what Suzuki scan tool and/or output of diagnostic out-
put terminal indicates.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM / PCM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.

DTC11 TRANSPONDER CODE NOT MATCHED
DESCRIPTION:
Immobilizer Control Module checks if Transponder code transmitted from ignition key and that registered in Immo-
bilizer Control Module match when ignition switch is ON. If they do not, this DTC is set.
INSPECTION:
Register ignition key with built-in transponder by using Suzuki scan tool (TECH1 cartridge for immobilizer control
system and TECH 1A kit) and performing following steps.

ter ignition keyº section.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF, then turn it ON and check that DTC11 is not set.
DTC31 TRANSPONDER CODE NOT REGISTERED
DESCRIPTION:
Immobilizer Control Module checks if Transponder code transmitted from ignition key and that registered in Immo-
bilizer Control Module match when ignition switch is ON. If there is no Transponder code registered in Immobilizer
Control Module, this DTC is set.
INSPECTION:
Register ignition key with built-in transponder by using Suzuki scan tool (TECH1 cartridge for immobilizer control
system and TECH 1A kit) and performing following steps.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS IN HANDLING IMMOBILIZER
CONTROL SYSTEM
Do not turn ON ignition switch with ignition key for immobilizer
control system put together with another one or placed quite close
to another one. Or the system may detect abnormal condition and
prevent engine from starting.
Do not turn ON ignition switch by using ignition key with any type
of metal wound around its grip or in contact with it. Or the system
may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from starting.
Do not leave ignition key where high temperature is anticipated.
High temperature will cause transponder in ignition key to be ab-
normal or damaged.
Do not turn ON ignition switch with a radio antenna placed near
coil antenna or its harness to Immobilizer Control Module. Or the
system may detect abnormal condition and prevent engine from
starting.
