24WD low switch and its circuit check:
When using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC with ignition
switch OFF.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Select ªData listº mode on scan tool.
4) Check 4WD low switch signal (ON or OFF) on
display when shifting transfer lever to each
position.
4H or 2H position : OFF
4L position : ON
Is OFF / ON displayed as described above?
When not using SUZUKI scan tool:
1) Remove PCM cover.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Check voltage at terminal C51-1-26 for G16 / J20
(C51-1-5 for H25) of PCM connector connected
when shifting transfer lever to each position.
4H or 2H position : 10 ± 14 V
4L position : 0 ± 1 V
Is voltage as specified?Check for poor con-
nection at the termi-

4WD Low Switch Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Disconnect 4WD low switch coupler.
3) Check continuity between 4WD low switch terminals.
There should be continuity when transfer lever shifted to 4L posi-
tion and should be infinity when transfer lever shifted to 4H or 2H
positions.
If not, replace 4WD low switch.
4) Connect 4WD low switch coupler and battery negative cable.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:

Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.

After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.

ROAD TEST
This test is to check if upshift and downshift take place at specified
speed while actually driving vehicle on a level road.
WARNING:

Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an acci-
dent.

Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Warm up engine.
2) With engine running at idle, shift select lever ªDº.
3) Accelerate vehicle speed by depressing accelerator pedal grad-
ually.
4) While driving in ªDº range, check if gear shift occurs properly as
shown in Gear Shift Diagram in this section.

MANUAL ROAD TEST
This test check the gear being used in ªLº, ª2º or ªDº range when
driven with unoperated gear shift control system. Test drive vehicle
on a level road.
NOTE:
Before this test, check diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
1) Disconnect coupler of shift solenoid valves on transmission.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when disconnecting shift solenoid
valves coupler.
2) With select lever in ªPº, start engine and warm it up.
3) With select lever in ªLº range, start vehicle and accelerate to 20
km/h (12.5 mile/h). Check in this state that 1st gear is being
used.
4) At 20 km/h (12.5 mile/h), shift select lever to 2 range and acceler-
ate to 40 km/h (25 mile/h). Check in this state that 3rd gear is
being used.
5) At 40 km/h (25 mile/h), shift select lever to D range and check
that O/D gear is used when speed is higher than 40 km/h (25
mile/h).
6) After above checks, stop vehicle then engine, and connect shift
solenoids coupler with ignition switch OFF.
WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the hot
exhaust system when connecting shift solenoid valves
coupler.
7) Clear DTC with scan tool.
TIME LAG TEST
This test is to check conditions of clutch, reverse brake and fluid
pressure. ªTime lagº means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels re-
spectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from ªNº to ªDº range
and measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from ªNº to ªRº
range.
Specification for ªNº
ªDºLess than 1.2 sec.
time lagªNº
ªRºLess than 1.5 sec.
NOTE:

When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least minute
after select lever is shifted back to ªNº range.

Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.

ENGINE BRAKE TEST
WARNING:
Before test, make sure that there is no vehicle behind so as
to prevent rear-end collision.
1) While driving vehicle in 3rd gear of ªDº range, shift select lever
down to ª2º range and check if engine brake operates.
2) In the same way as in step 1, check engine brake for operation
when select lever is shifted down to ªLº range.
3) If engine brake fails to operate in above tests, possible causes
for such failure are as follows. Check each part which is sus-
pected to be the cause.
Condition
Possible cause
Fails to operate when shifted
down to ª2º rangeSecond coast brake defec-
tive
Fails to operate when shifted
down to ªLº rangeReverse brake defective
ªPº RANGE TEST
1) Stop vehicle on a slope, shift select lever to ªPº range and at the
same time apply parking brake.
2) After stopping engine, depress brake pedal and release parking
brake.
3) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle re-
mains stationary.
4) Depress brake pedal and shift select lever to ªNº range.
5) Then, release brake pedal gradually and check that vehicle
moves.
WARNING:
Before test, check to make sure no one is around vehicle
or down on a slope and keep watchful for safety during
test.

FLUID LEVEL
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal operating
temperature (70 ± 80C / 158 ± 176F). As a guide to check fluid
temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant temperature
meter indicated around 1 unit above ªCº point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to L and back to P
position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean cloth
and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it. Fluid
level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. If it is below
LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON-III up to FULL HOT.
Fluid specification
An equivalent of DEXRON-III
NOTE:

DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even af-
ter the engine start.

DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming and
loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and trans-
mission failure can result.

Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT requires
0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).

If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour af-
ter it is stopped.
