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 an inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for proper anal-
ysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) / FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND CLEAR-
ANCE
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to “DTC check” section. If DTC is indicated, print it and
freeze frame data or write them down and then clear them by referring to “DTC clearance” section. DTC indi-
cates malfunction that occurred in the system but does not indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the
past and the normal condition has been restored now. To check which case applies, check the symptom in ques-
tion according to Step 4 and recheck DTC according to Step 5.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step will lead to
incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.
3. AND 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the engine
referring to “Visual Inspection” section.
5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on information obtained in Step 1 Customer complaint analysis and Step 2 DTC / freeze frame data
check, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation Procedure” described in
each DTC Diagnosis section.
6. AND 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC / FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to “DTC Check” section for checking procedure.
8. ENGINE BASIC INSPECTION AND ENGINE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform basic engine check according to the “Engine Basic Inspection” first. When the end of the flow table has
been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to “Engine Diagnosis
Table” and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through steps of customer com-
plaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and / or basic engine check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if
any.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING FOR DTC (SEE EACH DTC DIAG. FLOW TABLE)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 5 and referring to the applicable DTC diag. flow table in this section, locate
the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator, ECM or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection” in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the engine is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm that
no DTC is indicated.NOTE:
If only Automatic transmission DTCs (P0702-P1717) or Immobilizer DTCs (P1620-P1623) are indicated
in this step, perform trouble diagnosis according to “Diagnosis” in Section 7B or Section 8G.

Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) check
1) Turn ON ignition switch (but the engine at stop) and check
that MIL lights.
If MIL does not light up (or MIL dims), go to “Diagnostic Flow
Table A-1” for troubleshooting.
If MIL flushes, go to “Diagnostic Flow Table A-3” for trouble
shooting (vehicle without immobilizer indicator lamp).
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF.
If MIL remains ON and no DTC is stored in ECM, go to
“Diagnostic Flow Table A-2” for troubleshooting.
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) check
[Using SUZUKI Scan Tool]
1) Prepare SUZUKI scan tool.
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect it to data link connector
(DLC) (1) located on underside of instrument panel at
driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A) : SUZUKI scan tool
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data according to
instructions displayed on scan tool and print it or write it
down.
Refer to scan tool operator’s manual for further details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM is not possi-
ble, check if scan tool is communicable by connecting it to
ECM in another vehicle. If communication is possible in this
case, scan tool is in good condition. Then check data link
connector and serial data line (circuit) in the vehicle with
which communication was not possible.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off and dis-
connect scan tool from data link connector.
[Without Using SUZUKI Scan Tool] (Vehicle Without
Immobilizer Indicator Lamp)
1) Check malfunction indicator lamp referring to “Malfunction
Indicator Lamp Check” in this section.
2) With the ignition switch OFF position, connect diagnosis
switch terminal (3) and ground terminal (2) in monitor con-
nector (1) with service wire (4).
3) With the ignition switch ON position and leaving engine OFF,
read DTC from flashing pattern of malfunction indicator
lamp. Refer to “Diagnostic Trouble Code Table”.
If lamp does not flash or remains ON or OFF, go to “Diag-
nostic Flow Table A-4”.

4) After completing the check, turn the ignition switch OFF posi-
tion and disconnect service wire from monitor coupler.
Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) clearance
[Using SUZUKI Scan Tool]
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to data link connector in the
same manner as when making this connection for DTC
check.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Erase DTC and pending DTC according to instructions dis-
played on scan tool. Refer to scan tool operator’s manual for
further details.
4) After completing the clearance, turn ignition switch off and
disconnect scan tool from data link connector.
[Without Using SUZUKI Scan Tool]
1) Turn the ignition switch OFF position.
2) Disconnect battery negative cable for specified time below to
erase diagnostic trouble code stored in ECM memory and
reconnect it.
Time required to erase DTC NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas,
malfunction indicator lamp indicates applicable codes
three times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as
diagnosis terminal is grounded and ignition switch is
held at ON position.
Take a note of diagnostic trouble code indicated first.
NOTE:
DTC and freeze frame data stored in ECM memory are
also cleared in following cases. Be careful not to clear
them before keeping their record.
When power to ECM is cut off (by disconnecting bat-
tery cable, removing fuse or disconnecting ECM con-
nectors)
When the same malfunction (DTC) is not detected
again during 40 engine warm-up cycles.
Ambient temperature Time to cut power to ECM
Over 0 °C (32 °F) 30 sec. or longer
Under 0 °C (32 °F)Not specifiable.
Select a place with higher than
0 °C (32 °F) temperature.
