Description for Each Step
Step 1. Customer complaint analysis
Talk to customer, and then record details of the problem.
Customer questionnaire (Example)
NOTE
The form is a standard sample. It should be modified according to conditions characteristic of each
market.

Step 2. Visual inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the air
conditioning system referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 3. DTC check
Check DTC referring to “DTC Check”.
Step 4. DTC troubleshooting
Based on the DTC, perform an applicable DTC
diagnostic flow and locate the cause of the trouble,
namely in a sensor, wire harness, connector, actuator,
HVAC control module or other part and repair faulty
parts.
Step 5. A/C system performance inspection
Inspect A/C system suspected to be a possible cause
referring to “A/C System Performance Inspection”.Step 6. A/C system symptom diagnosis
Check any part or system suspected to be a possible
cause referring to “A/C System Symptom Diagnosis”.
Step 7. Check for intermittent problem
Check any part 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 trouble cord recorded.
Step 8. Final confirmation test
Confirm if the problem symptom is troubleshoot and the
A/C system is free from any abnormal conditions. If there
existed DTC, clear the DTC. Then, check if the DTC is
still detected and if there is any other DTC.

Refer to “Abnormal Noise Symptom Diagnosis of A/C
System”.
DTC CheckS6RW0D7224004
Using SUZUKI Scan Tool
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to data link connector
(DLC) (1) located on underside of instrument panel
at driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A): SUZUKI scan tool3) Light over sunload sensor vertically with an
incandescent light of approximately 100 W apart
from about 100 mm (3.94 in.).
NOTE
If sunload sensor is not lighted over with an
incandescent light, DTC B1504 is detected
even though there is not any malfunction.

4) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
5) Read DTC displayed on SUZUKI scan tool.
NOTE
To know how to use SUZUKI scan tool, refer
to operator’s manual for SUZUKI scan tool.

6) After completing the check, turn ignition switch to
OFF position and disconnect SUZUKI scan tool from
data link connector (DLC). Insufficient air flow of
cooled airA/C evaporator clogged or frostedCheck A/C evaporator and evaporator
temperature sensor referring to “Evaporator
Inspection” and “Evaporator Temperature

Not Using SUZUKI Scan Tool
NOTE
In case of malfunction of temperature
selector, blower speed selector and air flow
selector, DTC can not be checked by the
following procedure. Use SUZUKI scan tool
for DTC check.

1) Light over sunload sensor vertically with an
incandescent light of approximately 100 W apart
from about 100 mm (3.94 in.).
NOTE
If sunload sensor is not lighted over with an
incandescent light, DTC of sunload sensor is
detected as current DTC even though there is
not any malfunction.

2) Set the following selectors to specified positions
below respectively with ignition switch off position.
• Temperature selector (1) is maximum cool
position
• Blower speed selector (2) is OFF position
• Air flow selector (3) is AUTO position
3) While pressing A/C switch (4) and air intake selector
(5) simultaneously, turn ignition switch to ON
position.
4) Wait for about 5 seconds (start of diagnosis).
5) Read flashing pattern of “FRE” (6) and “REC” (7)
indicator lights which represents DTC and write it
down.
NOTE
• When 2 or more current DTCs are
detected, only DTC having the highest
priority is indicated. Therefore, after
troubleshooting the malfunction, DTC
check has to be performed again to see if
any other DTC(s) is detected.
• Pressing “A/C” switch alternates display
of current DTC and history DTC. “A/C”
indicator light (8) remains off when display
is in current DTC mode and it lights up
when display is in history DTC mode.
• When a history DTC is indicated while 2 or
more history DTCs are detected, it is
possible to have other history DTC(s)
stored in HVAC control module displayed
by pressing the air intake selector.

Example: When inside air temperature sensor
circuit malfunction (Open) is set
Example: When VSS signal failure (Data error) is
set
6) After completing above check, turn ignition switch to
“OFF” position.

CAUTION!
Be sure to perform “Air Conditioning System Check” before starting diagnosis.

NOTE
• History DTC is such DTC which HVAC control module saves in its memory when it detects current
DTC for 60 seconds or more continuously.
• DTC B1504, B1541, B1546, B1570 and B1571 are displayed as a current DTC only when a current
malfunction is detected.
• When HVAC control module detects DTC B1513 and B1514, both current and history DTCs are
displayed at the same time.
