REQUIRED SERVICE MATERIALS7A1-5 . . . . . .
The manual transmission consists of the input shaft,
main shaft, counter shaft and reverse gear which are
installed in the aluminum and castings cases. Its
gears are of forward five speeds in synchro mesh and
reverse one speed in sliding idler gear arrangement
system.
The main shaft gears are held by the needle bear-
ings and on them the synchronizer rings and syn-
chronizer sleeve & hubs are assembled.
The gear shift lever case is located at the upper be-
hind the transmission case and has a cam which pre-
vents direct gear shift from the 5th speed gear to the
reverse gear.As the aluminum and castings cases are sealed with
liquid type gasket, it is necessary to use genuine seal-
ant or its equivalent on its mating surfaces when reas-
sembling them. Also, the case fastening bolts must be
tightened to specified torque by means of the torque
wrench and tightening over or below the specified
torque should be avoided.
The description under ON-VEHICLE SERVICE in this
section covers the transfer partially which is next to
the transmission as well, but their gear boxes are in-
dependent and each of them has its own drain and
level / filler plugs for the oil change or the level check.
For the repair procedure of the transfer unit, refer to
Section 7D.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSIS
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic transmission control system, which control the automatic shift up and
shift down timing, TCC operation, etc. suitably to vehicle driving conditions.
PCM (ECM) has an On-Board Diagnosis system which detects a malfunction in this system and abnormality of
those parts that influence the engine exhaust emission.
When diagnosing a trouble in transmission including this system, be sure to have full understanding of the outline
of ªOn-board Diagnostic Systemº and each item in ªPrecaution in Diagnosing Troubleº and execute diagnosis ac-
cording to ªAUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLEº given below to obtain correct result
smoothly.
NOTE:
There are two types of ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM de-
pending on vehicle specifications. The type of system for ve-
hicle being serviced can be identified by whether equipped
with monitor connector or not.

[For Vehicle with Monitor Connector]
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
For automatic transmission control system, PCM (ECM) has follow-
ing functions. Refer to Section 6 / 6-1 for details.

When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a stop,
malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) turns ON to check the bulb of the
MIL.

When PCM detects a trouble in electronic shift control system, it
stores its trouble code in back-up memory in itself. (The memory
is kept as it is even if the trouble was only temporary and disap-
peared immediately. And it is not erased unless the power to PCM
is shut off for 30 seconds or longer.)

It is possible to communicate through DLC by using not only SU-
ZUKI scan tool (Tech-1) but also generic scan tool. (Diagnostic in-
formation can be accessed by using a scan tool.)

It is also possible to communicate by not using scan tool. PCM
indicates trouble area in memory by means of flashing of malfunc-
tion indicator lamp at the time of inspection (i.e. when diagnosis
switch terminal is grounded and ignition switch is turned ON).

PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE

Don't disconnect couplers from PCM (ECM), battery cable from battery, PCM ground wire harness from engine
or main fuse before checking the diagnosis information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in PCM memory.
Such disconnection will clear memorized information in PCM memory.

Using SUZUKI scan tool (Tech-1), or also generic scan tool for vehicle without monitor connector, the diagnostic
information stored in PCM memory can be checked and cleared as well. Before its use, be sure to read Operator's
(instruction) Manual supplied with it carefully to have good understanding of its functions and usage.

Priorities for diagnosing troubles (Only for vehicle without monitor connector)
If two or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, proceed to the flow table of the DTC which was de-
tected earliest in the order and follow the instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes according to the following priorities.
1. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171 / P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich) and DTC
P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
2. DTC P0171 / P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)

Be sure to read ªPrecautions for Electrical Circuit Serviceº in Section 0A before inspection and observe what is
written there.

PCM replacement
When substituting a known-good PCM, check for following conditions.
Neglecting this check may result in damage to good PCM.
± All relays and actuators have resistance of specified value.
± MAF sensor, MDP sensor, TP sensor and fuel tank pressure sensor are in good condition. Also, the power
circuit of these sensors is not shorted to the ground.

1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such a inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for proper
analysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
First, referring to DTC check section, check DTC (including pending DTC). If DTC exists, print or write down
DTC and freeze frame data and then clear them by referring to DTC clearance section. DTC indicates malfunc-
tion in the system but it is not possible to know from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred
in the past and normal condition has been restored. In order to know that, check symptom in question according
to Step 5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in
an faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise unnec-
essary.
