Precautions
Precautions in Diagnosing TroublesS7RS0BA300001
• Before confirming the diagnostic trouble code (DTC), 
do not disconnect connector from ECM, battery cable 
from battery, ground wire harness, or main fuse. Such 
disconnection will erase DTC stored in ECM.
• DTC stored in ECM memory can be checked as well  as cleared by using SUZUKI scan tool. Before using 
SUZUKI scan tool, read its operator’s manual 
carefully to know how to use it and what functions are 
available.
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit  Service in Section 00” before inspection.
• Communication of ECM, BCM, keyless start control  module (if equipped), ABS / ESP ® control module, 
steering angle sensor (ESP ® model), combination 
meter and TCM (A/T model) is established by CAN 
(Controller Area Network). Therefore, handle CAN 
communication lines with care referring to “Precaution 
for CAN Communication System in Section 00”. For 
CAN communication system,  refer to description on 
“CAN Communication System Description in Section 
1A”.
Precaution in Replacing ECMS7RS0BA300002
• If ECM is replaced with new or used one without  immobilizer control function , the engine will not be 
started. In case of the  above, check if the newly 
installed ECM has immobilizer control function.
• After ECM is replaced with new one or used one, the  transponder code in the transponder built in the 
ignition key has to be registered with ECM. Or, the 
engine cannot be started up. For the registration 
procedure, refer to “Procedure after ECM 
Replacement”.
Precautions in Handling Immobilizer Control 
System
S7RS0BA300003
• Do not turn ON ignition sw itch with ignition key in 
contact with another one or quite close to another 
one. Or, the immobilizer co ntrol system may detect 
some abnormal condition and prevent the engine from 
starting.
• Do not turn ON ignition switch by using ignition key  with any type of metal (1) wrapped its grip or in 
contact with it. Or, the i mmobilizer control system may 
detect some abnormal condition and prevent the 
engine from starting.

• Do not leave ignition key in a place where 
temperature is high. High temperature may cause 
damage to the transponder built in the ignition key. • Do not turn ignition switch to ON position by bringing 
radio antenna close to coil antenna. Or, the 
immobilizer control syst em may detect some 
abnormal condition and prevent the engine from 
starting.
General Description
Immobilizer Control System IntroductionS7RS0BA301001
The immobilizer control system  is an anti-theft device that immobilizes the vehicle. It  stops the engine from working 
and prevents the vehicle from being stolen. It  mainly consists of the following components.
• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Immobilizer control module (ICM) with the  built-in coil antenna
• Ignition key with the built-in transponder
A code called the transponder code is memorized in the tran sponder. And, the code is registered with ECM. Basically, 
when the ignition switch is turned ON, ECM reads the code by  the coil antenna. Then, if the code in transponder in the 
ignition key does not match with the one  registered with ECM, ECM stops the operati on of the fuel injection so as not 
to start up the engine  and turns the immobilizer indi cator lamp ON and OFF using CA N communication lines. In the 
case of the vehicle equipped with the keyless start system , in addition to the above operation, ECM makes the 
immobilizer indicator lamp ON and OFF when it detects a trouble related to ID code verification of the keyless start 
system.

On-Board Diagnostic System Description (Self-diagnosis Function)S7RS0BA301003
ECM diagnoses if there is any trouble  with the immobilizer control system. The diagnostic information is stored as the 
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in ECM. To read the di agnostic information, use SUZUKI scan tool referring to 
“Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check”.
With the ignition switch turned ON (but  the engine at stop) regardless of the condition of the engine and emission 
control system, ECM indicates whether ther e is any trouble with the immobilizer control system or not by either lighting 
ON or flashing ON and OFF t he immobilizer indicator lamp.
Immobilizer indicator lamp lights ON:
No trouble exists in the immobilizer  control system. (After starting up the engine, the light turns OFF.)
Immobilizer indicator lamp flashes ON and OFF:
There is some trouble in the immo bilizer control system. Its diagnostic information is stored in ECM.

Repair Instructions
Immobilizer Control Module (ICM) Removal and 
Installation
S7RS0BA306001
Removal1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Remove steering wheel referring to “Steering Wheel  Removal and Installa tion in Section 6B”.
3) Remove steering column lower and upper covers.
4) Remove knee protector plate (1). (if equipped)
5) Remove engine start knob (2). (if equipped with  keyless start system)
6) Disconnect connector (1) from ICM (2).
7) Remove a screw (3) from ICM.
8) Remove ICM from steering lock assembly or  steering lock unit.
NOTE
The antenna part of ICM is fragile.
Therefore, do not add strong power to the 
part or twist the part.
 
Installation
Reverse the removal procedure.
Registration of the Ignition KeyS7RS0BA306002
To finish the registration  of the ignition key, the 
transponder code memorized in the transponder built in 
the ignition key has to be registered with ECM. To 
register the transponder code with ECM, perform 
“Register Ig Key” mode of SU ZUKI scan tool referring to 
“SUZUKI Tech 2 Operator’s Manual”.
NOTE
• A maximum of four transponder codes can  be registered with ECM.
• At an early part of the registration process,  all transponder codes of the ignition keys 
in use already registered with ECM are 
cleared. Therefore, before starting the 
registration, prepare all ignition keys in 
use in addition to the new ignition key(s) to 
be registered with ECM.
 
Procedure after ECM ReplacementS7RS0BA306003
After ECM is replaced with new one or used one, the 
transponder code in the transponder built in the ignition 
key has to be registered with ECM. To register 
transponder code in the ignition key with ECM, perform 
“Replace New ECM” mode of SUZUKI scan tool 
referring to “SUZUKI Tech 2 Operator’s Manual”.
NOTE
A maximum of four transponder codes can 
be registered with ECM.

6) Read flashing pattern of key indicator lamp (1) which represents DTC as shown in example below and 
write it down. When more than 2 DTCs are stored in 
memory, flashing for each DTC is repeated three 
times starting with the  smallest DTC number in 
increasing order.
NOTE
Go to “No DTC Detect ion After Performing 
DTC Check” in case that any DTC is detected 
after performing the procedure mentioned 
above.
 
7) After completing the check, remove ignition key from  ignition key cylinder.
