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.

On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS6RW0D5101005
NOTE
There are two types of OBD system
depending on the vehicle specification.For
identification, refer to “Precaution on On-
Board Diagnostic (OBD) System in Section
1A”.
For automatic transaxle control system, TCM has the
following functions.
• For Euro OBD model, when the ignition switch is
turned ON with the engine at a stop, MIL (1) turns ON
to check the bulb of the MIL.
• For Euro OBD model, when TCM detects a
malfunction in A/T control system TCM desires turning
on MIL and stores malfunction DTC in TCM memory.
(If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are
normal after detecting a malfunction, however, it
makes MIL turn OFF although DTC stored in its
memory will remain.)
• For Euro OBD model, it is possible to communicate
with TCM through data link connector (DLC) (2) by
using not only SUZUKI scan tool (3) but also CAN
communication OBD generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be checked and erased by using scan
tool.)
• For non-Euro-OBD model, when ignition switch is
turned ON and no malfunction in A/T control system is
detected, transmission warning light (4) lights for
about 2 seconds after ignition switch is turned ON and
then goes OFF for bulb check.• For non-Euro-OBD model, when TCM detects a
malfunction in A/T control system, it indicates
transmission warning light (4) and stores malfunction
DTC in its memory.
• For information about the following items, refer to “On-
Board Diagnostic System Description in Section 1A”.
– Warm-up cycle
– Driving cycle
– 2 driving cycle detection logic
– Pending DTC
– Freeze frame date

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 5A-18 Automatic Transmission/Transaxle:
Step 2. DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance
First, referring to “DTC Check”, check DTC and pending
DTC. If DTC exists, print or write down DTC and freeze
frame data and then clear malfunction DTC(s) by
referring to “DTC Clearance”. Malfunction DTC indicates
malfunction 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
unnecessary.
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 and
automatic transaxle referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5. Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained
in “Step 1. Customer Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2.
DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance: ”.
Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC Confirmation
Procedure” described in each DTC flow.
Step 6 and 7. Rechecking and Record of DTC and
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.Step 8. A/T Basic Check and A/T Symptom
Diagnosis
Perform basic check of A/T according to “A/T Basic
Check” first. When the end of the flow has been reached,
check the parts of the system suspected as a possible
cause referring to “A/T Symptom Diagnosis” and based
on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms
obtained through steps of customer complaint analysis,
trouble symptom confirmation and/or A/T basic check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9. Troubleshooting for DTC
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 / 7 and referring to
“applicable DTC flow”, locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector,
actuator, TCM or other part and repair or replace faulty
parts.
Step 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 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
vehicle is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear
the DTC once and check to ensure that no malfunction
DTC is indicated.
