DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF, if available.
2) Clear DTC and start engine.
3) Shift A / T selector lever to each of L, 2, D, N, R and P ranges for 30 seconds each.
4) Increase vehicle speed to about 70 km / h (45 mph) in D range.
5) Keep driving above vehicle speed for 30 seconds.
6) Release accelerator pedal, decrease vehicle speed and stop vehicle.
7) Check DTC and / or pending DTC.

2Check Transmission Range Switch (Sensor) Circuit for
Operation.
When using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Turn ignition switch ON and check transmission
range signal (P, R, N, D, 2 or L) on display
when shifting select lever to each range.
Is applicable range indicated?
When not using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage at terminals C51-1-15, C51-1-16,
C51-1-17, C51-1-18, C51-1-27 and C51-1-28 for
G16/J20 (C51-1-4, C51-1-3, C51-1-13, C51-1-12,
C51-1-20 and C51-1-19 for H25) respectively with
select lever shifted to each range.
Taking terminal C51-1-28 for G16/J20 (C51-1-20 for
H25) as an example, is battery voltage indicated
only when select lever is shifted to ª2º range and
0 V for other ranges as shown in figure?
Check voltage at other terminals likewise, referring
to figure.
Are check results satisfactory?Intermittent trouble.
Check for intermittent

Is it adjusted correctly?Go to Step 4.Adjust.
4Check Transmission Range Switch for Installation
Position.
1) Shift select lever to ªNº range.
2) Check that ªNº reference line on switch and center
line on shaft are aligned.
Are they aligned?Go to Step 5.Adjust.
5Check Transmission Range Switch (Sensor) referring
to ªTransmission Range Switchº in this section.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:

Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.

After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.

ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified
speed while actually driving vehicle on a level road.
WARNING:

Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an acci-
dent.

Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever ªDº.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal grad-
ually.
4) While driving in ªDº range, check if gear shift occurs properly as
shown in Gear Shift Diagram in this section.

LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair or
fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level check of
normal operating temperature. The checking procedure itself is the
same as that described previously. If the fluid level is between FULL
COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And when the fluid
temperature has reached the normal operating temperature, check
fluid level again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug from oil pan and drain A / T
fluid.
3) Install drain plug.
