[Using SUZUKI scan tool]
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) After setting cartridge to Suzuki scan tool, connect it to data link
connector (DLC) located on underside of instrument panel at
driver's seat side.
Special Tool
(A): 09931-76011 (Suzuki scan tool)
(B): Mass storage cartridge
(C): 09931-76030 (16 / 12 pin DLC adapter)
3) Turn ignition switch ON.
4) Read DTC according to instructions displayed on Suzuki scan
tool and print it or write it down. Refer to Suzuki scan tool opera-
tor's manual for further details.
NOTE:
When reading DTC stored in ECM / PCM using Suzuki scan
tool, select ªECMº from the applications menu and ªSU-
ZUKI modeº from the communication mode menu dis-
played on Suzuki scan tool.
If ECM / PCM detects a trouble in both electric fuel injec-
tion system and immobilizer control system, Suzuki scan
tool indicates trouble codes of both systems using Suzu-
ki mode of ECM application.
If communication between Suzuki scan tool and ECM / PCM is
not possible, check if Suzuki scan tool is communicable by con-
necting it to ECM / PCM in another vehicle. If communication is
possible in this case, Suzuki scan tool is in good condition. Then
check data link connector and serial data line (circuit) in the ve-
hicle with which communication was not possible.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch OFF and discon-
nect Suzuki scan tool from data link connector (DLC).

1. Ignition key with built-in transponder 1. Data link connector (DLC)
HOW TO REGISTER IGNITION KEY
Register the ignition key with a built-in transponder in Immobilizer
Control Module by using the following procedure.
1) Prepare Suzuki scan tool (TECH 1A kit and cartridge for immobi-
lizer control system).
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect Suzuki scan tool to data link
connector (DLC) located on underside of instrument panel at
driver's seat side.
Special Tool
(A): 09931-76011 (Tech 1A)
(B): Immobilizer cartridge
(C): 09931-76030 (16 / 14-pin DLC cable)
NOTE:
For operation procedure of Suzuki scan tool, refer to Suzuki
scan tool operator's manual.
3) Prepare ignition key with a built-in transponder. And then turn
ignition switch ON by using it.
4) Number of Transponder codes for ignition key with a built-in
transponder that can be registered in Immobilizer Control Mod-
ule is limited to 4. If needed, clear all Transponder codes for igni-
tion key with a built-in transponder that have been registered in
Immobilizer Control Module by executing the ªCLR. TRANS
COD (CLEAR TP CODE)º command in the SELECT MODE
menu by using Suzuki scan tool.
NOTE:
When ªCLR. TRANS COD (CLEAR TP CODE)º command is
executed with the malfunction indicator lamp (the lamp for
vehicles equipped with the monitor coupler) ON or the im-
mobilizer indicator lamp (the lamp for vehicle not equipped
with the monitor coupler) ON, it remains ON even after
execution of that command is over. It will start flashing
when the ignition switch is turned OFF once and then
turned ON after some seconds.
5) Using Suzuki scan tool, register Transponder code in Immobiliz-
er Control Module by executing ªENT. TRANS COD (ENT. TP
CODE)º command in SELECT MODE menu.
6) [Vehicle equipped with monitor coupler]
Make sure that malfunction indicator lamp lights when ignition
switch is turned OFF once and then ON.

PLASTIC PARTS FINISHING
Paintable plastic parts are ABS plastic parts.
Painting
Rigid or hard ABS plastic needs no primer coating.
General acrylic lacquers can be painted properly over hard ABS
plastic in terms of adherence.
1) Use cleaning solvent for paint finish to wash each part.
2) Apply conventional acrylic color lacquer to part surface.
3) Follow lacquer directions for required drying time. (Proper dry-
ing temperature range is 60 to 70C).
Reference
Plastic parts employ not only ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
plastic but also polypropylene, vinyl, or the like plastic. Burning test
method to identify ABS plastic is described below.
1) Use a sharp blade to cut off a plastic sliver from the part at its
hidden backside.
2) Hold sliver with pincers and set it on fire.
3) Carefully observe condition of the burning plastic.
4) ABS plastic must raise readily distinguishable back smoke while
burning with its residue suspended in air temporarily.
5) Polypropylene must raise no readily distinguishable smoke
while burning.
