Engine basic inspection
This check is very important for troubleshooting when ECM has detected no DTC and no abnormality has been
found in visual inspection.
Follow the flow table carefully.
Step Action Yes No
1Was “Engine Diag. Flow Table” performed? Go to Step 2. Go to “Engine Diag. Flow
Table”.
2 Check battery voltage.
Is it 11 V or more?Go to Step 3. Charge or replace battery.
3 Is engine cranked? Go to Step 4. Go to “Diagnosis” in Sec-
tion 6G.
4 Does engine start? Go to Step 5. Go to Step 9.
5 Check idle speed as follows :
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temp.
2) Shift transmission to neutral position for M/T
(“P” position for A/T).
3) All of electrical loads are switched off.
4) Check engine idle speed with scan tool.
See Fig. 1.
Is it 650 – 750 r/min (700 – 800 r/min. for A/T
vehicle)?Go to Step 6. Go to “Engine Diagnosis
Table”.
6 Is SUZUKI scan tool available? Go to Step 8. Go to Step 7.
7 Check ignition timing as follows :
1) Connect test switch terminal (2) of monitor
coupler (1) to ground. See Fig. 2.
2) Remove air cleaner bolt and crips and shift
air cleaner position to observe ignition tim-
ing.
3) Using timing light (1), check initial ignition
timing.
See Fig. 4.
Is it 5° ± 3° BTDC at specified idle speed?Go to “Engine Diagnosis
Table”.Check ignition control
related parts referring to
Section 6F.
8 Check ignition timing as follows :
1) Select “MISC” mode on SUZUKI scan tool
and fix ignition timing to initial one. See Fig.
3.
2) Remove air cleaner bolt and crips and shift
air cleaner position to observe ignition tim-
ing.
3) Using timing light (1), check initial ignition
timing. See Fig. 4.
Is it 5° ± 3° BTDC at specified idle speed?Go to “Engine Diagnosis
Table”.Check ignition control
related parts referring to
Section 6F.
9 Check immobilizer system malfunction as fol-
lows (if equipped) :
1) Check immobilizer indicator lamp or MIL
(malfunction indicator lamp) for flashing.
Is it flashing when ignition switch is turned to
ON position?Go to “Diagnosis” in Sec-
tion 8G.Go to Step 10.

[A] Fig. 1 for Step 5 / [B] Fig. 2 for Step 7 / [C] Fig. 3 for Step 810 Check fuel supply as follows :
1) Check to make sure that enough fuel is filled
in fuel tank.
2) Turn ON ignition switch for 2 seconds and
then OFF. See Fig. 5.
Is fuel return pressure (returning sounds) felt
from fuel feed hose (1) when ignition switch is
turned ON?Go to Step 12. Go to Step 11.
11 Check fuel pump for operating.
1) Was fuel pump operating sound heard from
fuel filler for about 2 seconds after ignition
switch ON and stop?Go to “Diag. Flow Table
B-3”.Go to “Diag. Flow Table
B-2”.
12 Check ignition spark as follows :
1) Disconnect injector couplers.
2) Remove spark plugs and connect them to
high tension cords.
3) Ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug
sparks.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 13. Go to “Ignition Spark Test”
in Section 6F.
13 Check fuel injector for operation as follows :
1) Install spark plugs and connect injector con-
nectors.
2) Using sound scope (2), check operating
sound of each injector (3) when cranking
engine. See Fig. 6.
Was injector operating sound heard from all
injectors?Go to “Engine Diagnosis
Table”.Go to “Diag. Flow Table
B-1”. Step Action Yes No
