Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and 
Clearance
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to 
“DTC Check”. If DTC is indicated, print it and freeze 
frame data or write them down and then clear them by 
referring to “DTC Clearance”. DTC indicates 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 question according 
to Step 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6 and 7.
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.
Step 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”.
Step 5: Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Based on information obtained in “Step 1: Customer 
Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame 
Data Check, Record and Clearance: ”, confirm trouble 
symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC 
Confirmation Procedure” described in each DTC diag. 
flow.
Step 6 and 7: Rechecking and Record of DTC / 
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8: Engine Basic Inspection and Engine 
Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic engine check according to “Engine Basic 
Inspection” first. When the end of the flow has been 
reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a 
possible cause referring to “Engine Symptom Diagnosis” 
and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle 
(symptoms obtained through steps of customer 
complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or 
basic engine check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if 
any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC 
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring 
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, 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.Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to 
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to 
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section 
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 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.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) CheckS6RW0D1104002
1) Turn ON ignition switch (with engine at stop) and 
check that MIL (1) lights.
If MIL does not light up (or MIL dims) but engine can 
be starting, go to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Does 
Not Come ON with Ignition Switch ON and Engine 
Stop (but Engine Can Be Started)” for 
troubleshooting.
If MIL does not light with ignition switch ON and 
engine does not start though it is cranked up, go to 
“ECM Power and Ground Circuit Check”.
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF.
If MIL remains ON and no DTC is stored in ECM, go 
to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Remains ON after 
Engine Starts” for troubleshooting.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1A-26 Engine General Information and Diagnosis: 
• The MIL is turned on when the ECM and/or 
TCM detect malfunction(s). Each ECM and 
TCM stores diagnostic information as the 
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in its 
memory and outputs the DTC to the scan 
tool.
Therefore, check both of the ECM and TCM 
for any DTC with the scan tool because the 
DTC stored in ECM and TCM is not read 
and displayed at a time. However, each of 
the ECM and TCM needs not to be checked 
with the generic scan tool because the 
DTC stored in ECM and TCM is read and 
displayed at a time.
 
1) Prepare CAN communication OBD generic scan tool 
or SUZUKI scan tool.
Special tool
(A):  SUZUKI scan tool (SUZUKI-SDT)
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect it to DLC (1) 
located on underside of instrument panel at driver’s 
seat side.
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC and freeze frame data according to 
instructions displayed on scan tool and print them or 
write them down. Refer to scan tool operator’s 
manual for details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM is not 
possible, go to “Troubleshooting for Communication 
Error with Scan Tool Using CAN”.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off 
and disconnect scan tool from DLC.

NOTE
There are two types of OBD system 
depending on the vehicle specification.
For identification, refer to “Precaution on On-
Board Diagnostic (OBD) System”.
 
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool or CAN communication 
OBD generic scan tool to data link connector in the 
same manner as when making this connection for 
DTC check.2) Turn ignition switch OFF and then ON.
3) Erase DTC and pending DTC according to 
instructions displayed on scan tool. Freeze frame 
data is cleared with the DTC. Refer to scan tool 
operator’s manual for further details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM is not 
possible, go to “Troubleshooting for Communication 
Error with Scan Tool Using CAN”.
4) After completing the clearance, turn ignition switch 
OFF and disconnect scan tool from data link 
connector.
NOTE
DTC and freeze frame data stored in ECM 
memory are also cleared in the following 
cases. Be careful not to clear them before 
keeping their record.
• When power to ECM is cut off (by 
disconnecting battery cable, removing 
fuse or disconnecting ECM connectors).
• When the same malfunction (DTC) is not 
detected again during 40 engine warm-up 
cycles. (See “Warm-Up Cycle” of “On-
Board Diagnostic System Description”.)
 
Troubleshooting for Communication Error with 
Scan Tool Using CAN
S6RW0D1104083

Scan Tool DataS6RW0D1104007
As the data values are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally operating vehicles 
by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condition, there may be cases 
where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore, judgment as abnormal should not 
be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions that can be checked by the scan tool are those detected by ECM and output from ECM as commands 
and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condition) as indicated by the scan tool. 
Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing.
NOTE
• There are two types of OBD system depending on the vehicle specification.
For identification, refer to “Precaution on On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) System”.
• With the CAN communication generic scan tool, only star (*) marked data in the following table can 
be read.
• When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M/T gear to the 
neutral position and A/T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if nothing 
or “no load” is indicated, turn OFF A/C (if equipped with A/C), all electric loads, P/S and all the other 
necessary switches.

Precautions
Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS6RW0D5100001
• Do not disconnect couplers from TCM, battery cable 
from battery, TCM ground wire harness from engine or 
main fuse before checking the diagnostic information 
(DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in TCM memory. 
Such disconnection will clear memorized information 
in TCM memory.
• Diagnostic information stored in TCM memory can be 
cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan 
tool or CAN communication OBD generic scan tool. 
Before using scan tool, read its Operator’s 
(Instruction) Manual carefully to have good 
understanding as to what functions are available and 
how to use it.
It is indistinguishable which module turns on MIL 
because not only ECM but also TCM turns on MIL.
Therefore, check both ECM and TCM for DTC when 
MIL lights on.
When checking TCM for DTC, keep in mind that DTC 
is displayed on the scan tool as follows depending on 
the scan tool used.
– SUZUKI scan tool displays DTC detected by TCM.
– CAN communication OBD generic scan tool 
displays DTC detected by each of ECM and TCM 
simultaneously.
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit 
Service in Section 00” before inspection and observe 
what is written there.
• TCM replacement
– When substituting a known-good TCM, check that 
all relays and actuators have resistance of 
specified value.
Neglecting this check may result in damage to good 
TCM.
• Communication of ECM, BCM, combination meter, 
keyless start control module (if equipped), ABS 
control module, 4WD control module (if equipped), 
TCM and DLC, is established by CAN (Controller 
Area Network). (For more detail of CAN 
communication for ECM, refer to “CAN 
Communication System Description”). Therefore, 
handle CAN communication line with care referring to 
“Precaution for CAN Communication System in 
Section 00”.
Precautions for Disassembly and ReassemblyS6RW0D5100002
When repairing automatic transaxle, it is necessary to 
conduct the on-vehicle test to investigate where the 
cause of the trouble lies first.
Then whether overhaul should be done or not is 
determined. If the transaxle is disassembled without 
such preliminary procedure, not only the cause of the 
trouble would be unknown, but also a secondary trouble 
may occur and often time would be wasted.
As the automatic transaxle consists of high precision 
component, the following cautions should be strictly 
observed when handling its parts in disassembly and 
reassembly.
• Disassembling valve body assembly is prohibited 
essentially. However, a few parts can be 
disassembled. When disassembling valve body 
component parts, confirm whether their parts are 
allowed to disassemble or not referring to “Valve Body 
Assembly Disassembly and Reassembly”.
• When component part of forward clutch, direct clutch, 
2nd brake and/or O/D and 2nd coast brake, namely 
clutch disc, brake disc, retaining plate and/or 
separator plate, have been replaced, all learned 
contents, which have been stored in TCM memory by 
executing learning control, should be initialized 
referring to “Learning Control Initialization”.
• Make sure to wash dirt off from the transaxle so that 
no such dirt will enter the transaxle during 
dismounting and remounting.
• Select a clean place free from dust and dirt for 
overhauling.
• Place a rubber mat on the work bench to protect parts 
from damage.
• Work gloves or shop cloth should not be used. (Use a 
nylon cloth or a paper towel.)
• When separating the case joint, do not pry with a 
screwdriver or such but tap with a plastic hammer 
lightly.
• Make sure to wash dirt off from the transaxle so that 
no such dirt will enter the transaxle during 
disassembly and reassembly.
• Wash the disassembled parts in ATF (Automatic 
Transaxle Fluid) or kerosene (using care not to allow 
ATF or kerosene to get on your face, etc.) and confirm 
that each fluid passage is not clogged by blowing air 
into it. But use kerosene to wash the discs, resin 
washers and rubber parts.
• Replace each gasket, oil seal and O-ring with a new 
one.
• Apply ATF to sliding or rotating parts before 
reassembly.
