1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Disconnect combination switch lead wire coupler.
3) Turn the front wiper switch to INT position.
4) Turn the intermittent time control switch to FAST position.
5) Connect battery positive terminal to terminal ªB3º and battery
negative terminal to terminal ªEº.
6) Connect voltmeter positive lead to terminal ª+1º and negative
lead to terminal ªEº.
Check that the voltmeter indicates the battery voltage (10 ±
14 V).
7) Connect terminal ªAsº and terminal ªB3º by a jumper wire. Then
move jumper wire end connected to terminal ªB3º to terminal ªEº.
Observe the voltmeter voltage drops to 0 V right after connecting
the jumper wire from terminal ªB3º to ªEº. Then the voltage rises
to battery voltage (10 ± 14 V) within the time shown in the table
below.

DEFOGGER WIRE
NOTE:

When cleaning rear window glass, use a dry cloth to wipe it
along wire direction.

When cleaning glass, do not use detergent or abrasive-con-
taining glass cleaner.

When measuring wire voltage, use a tester with negative
probe wrapped with a tin foil which should be held down on
wire by finger pressure.
1) Checking wire damage
a. Turn main switch ON.
b. Turn defogger switch ON.
c. Use a voltmeter to check voltage at the center of each heat
wire, as shown.

Criteria
Approx. 5 VGood (No break in wire)
Approx. 10 V or 0 VBroken wire
If measured voltage is 10 V, wire must be damaged between
its center and positive end. If voltage is zero, wire must be
damaged between its center and ground.

2) Locating damage in wire
a. Touch voltmeter positive (+) lead to heat wire positive termi-
nal end.
b. Touch voltmeter negative (±) lead with a foil strip to heat wire
positive terminal end, then move it along wire to the negative
terminal end.
c. The place where voltmeter fluctuates from zero to several
volts is where there is damage.
NOTE:
If heat wire is free from damage, voltmeter should indicate
12 V at heat wire positive terminal end and its indication
should decrease gradually toward zero at the other terminal
(ground).
REPAIR
DEFOGGER CIRCUIT
1) Use white gasoline for cleaning.
2) Apply masking tape at both upper and lower sides of heat wire
to be repaired.
3) Apply commercially-available repair agent with a fine-tip brush.
4) Two to three minutes later, remove masking tapes previously
applied.
5) Leave repaired heat wire as it is for at least 24 hours before oper-
ating defogger again.

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK
(IMMOBILIZER CONTROL MODULE)
1) Using analog type voltmeter, connect positive probe to diagnos-
tic output terminal and negative probe to ground of immobilizer
diagnostic coupler with ignition switch turned ON.
2) Read deflection of voltmeter indicator which represents DTC as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to Immobilizer Control Module side in ªDiagnostic Trouble
Code Tableº.
If voltmeter indicator dose not deflect, go to ªDiagnostic Flow
Table Aº.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, volt-
meter indicates applicable codes three times each.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) CHECK (ECM/PCM)
[Not using SUZUKI scan tool] (Vehicle equipped with
monitor coupler)
1) Using service wire, ground diagnostic switch terminal in monitor
coupler.
2) Read DTC from flashing pattern of malfunction indicator lamp as
shown in example below and write it down. For details of DTC,
refer to ECM / PCM side in ªDiagnostic Trouble Code Tableº.
If lamp remains ON, go to ªMalfunction Indicator Lamp Checkº
in Section 6.
NOTE:
If abnormality or malfunction lies in two or more areas, mal-
function indicator lamp indicates applicable codes three
times each.
And flashing of these codes is repeated as long as diagno-
sis terminal is grounded and ignition switch is held at ON
position.
