Steering General Diagnosis
Precautions
Precautions for Steering DiagnosisS6RW0D6100001
Since the problems in steering involve several systems, they must all be considered when diagnosing a complaint. To
avoid using the wrong symptom, always road test the vehicle first. Proceed with the following preliminary inspection
and correct any defects which are found.
1) Inspect tires for proper pressure and uneven wear.
2) Raise vehicle on a hoist and inspect steering system for loose or damaged parts.
3) Spin front wheels. Inspect for out-of-round tires, out-of-balance tires, bent rims, loosen and/or rough wheel
bearings.

Precautions
P/S System NoteS6RW0D6300001
NOTE
All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

Precautions in Diagnosing TroublesS6RW0D6300002
• Take a note of DTC indicated on the SUZUKI scan tool.
• Before inspection, be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” and understand what is
written there.
• DTC C1122 (engine speed signal failure) is indicated when ignition switch is at ON position and engine is not
running, but it means there is nothing abnormal if indication changes to a normal one when engine is started.
• As DTC is stored in memory of the P/S control module, be sure to clear memory after repair by performing the
procedure described in “DTC Clearance”.

General Description
P/S System DescriptionS6RW0D6301001
This electronic power steering (EPS) system consists of a power steering (P/S) control module (3), a torque sensor
(4), a P/S motor (5). In this system, the P/S control module determines the level and direction of the assist force for the
steering wheel (1) according to the signal from the torque sensor and the vehicle speed signal from BCM (9). The P/S
control module runs the motor so as to assist the operation of the steering wheel.
The P/S control module diagnoses troubles which may occur in the area including the following components when the
ignition switch is ON and the engine is running. When the P/S control module detects any malfunction, it stops the
motor operation.
• Torque sensor
• Vehicle speed signal circuit
• Engine speed signal circuit
• P/S Motor
• P/S control module.

EPS Diagnosis General DescriptionS6RW0D6301002
The P/S system in this vehicle is controlled by the P/S control module. The P/S control module has an on-board
diagnostic system which detects a malfunction in this system. When diagnosing troubles, be sure to have full
understanding of the outline of “On-Board Diagnostic System Description” and each item in “Precautions in
Diagnosing Troubles”, and then execute diagnosis according to “EPS System Check”.
On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS6RW0D6301003
The P/S control module performs the on-board diagnosis (self-diagnosis) on the system and operates the “EPS”
warning light (1) as follows.
• The “EPS” warning light lights when the ignition switch is turned to ON position (but the engine at stop) regardless
of the condition of the P/S control system. This is only to check if the “EPS” warning light is operated properly.
• If the areas monitored by the P/S control module is free from any trouble after the engine start (while engine is
running), the “EPS” warning light turns OFF.
• When the P/S control module detects a trouble which has occurred in the monitored areas the “EPS” warning light
comes ON while the engine is running to warn the driver of such occurrence of the trouble and at the same time it
stores the exact trouble area in memory inside of the P/S control module.
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup and engine shutoff.
3 Driving Cycles Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first and second driving cycle is stored in P/S control module memory (in the form of
pending DTC) but the “EPS” warning light does not light at these time. It lights up at the third detection of same
malfunction also in the next driving cycle.
