6-1-6 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
Engine Diagnosis
General Description
This vehicle is equipped with an engine and emission control system which are under control of ECM (PCM).
The engine and emission control system in this vehicle are controlled by ECM (PCM). ECM (PCM) has an On-
Board Diagnostic system which detects a malfunction in this system and abnormality of those parts that influ-
ence the engine exhaust emission. When diagnosing engine troubles, be sure to have full understanding of the
outline of “ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM” and each item in “PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE”
and execute diagnosis according to “ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLE” in this section.
There is a close relationship between the engine mechanical, engine cooling system, ignition system, exhaust
system, etc. and the engine and emission control system in their structure and operation. In case of an engine
trouble, even when the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) doesn’t turn ON, it should be diagnosed according to
“ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC FLOW TABLE” in this section.
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle without
Monitor Connector)
ECM (PCM) in this vehicle has following functions.
When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine at a
stop, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) turns ON to check
the bulb of the malfunction indicator lamp (1).
When ECM detects a malfunction which gives an adverse
effect to vehicle emission while the engine is running, it
makes the malfunction indicator lamp (1) in the meter cluster
of the instrument panel turn ON or flash (flashing only when
detecting a misfire which can cause damage to the catalyst)
and stores the malfunction area in its memory.
(If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are normal
after detecting a malfunction, however, it makes MIL (1) turn
OFF although DTC stored in its memory will remain.)
As a condition for detecting a malfunction in some areas in
the system being monitored by ECM (PCM) and turning ON
the malfunction indicator lamp (1) due to that malfunction, 2
driving cycle detection logic is adopted to prevent erroneous
detection.
When a malfunction is detected, engine and driving condi-
tions then are stored in ECM (PCM) memory as freeze frame
data. (For the details, refer to description on Freeze frame
data.)
It is possible to communicate by using not only SUZUKI scan
tool (2) but also generic scan tool. (Diagnostic information
can be accessed by using a scan tool.)

TROUBLESHOOTING
Step Action Yes No
1 Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” per-
formed?Go to Step 2. Go to “ENGINE DIAG.
FLOW TABLE” in this
section.
2 Ignition system inspection :
1) Check spark plug and ignition spark of cylin-
der where misfire occurs, referring to “IGNI-
TION SYSTEM” section.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 3. Faulty ignition coil, wire
harness, or other system
parts.
3 Fuel injector circuit inspection :
1) Using sound scope, check each injector
operating sound at engine cranking or
idling.
Do all injectors make operating sound?Go to Step 4. Check coupler connec-
tion and wire harness of
injector not making oper-
ating sound and injector
itself.
If OK, substitute a known-
good ECM (PCM) and
recheck.
4 Fuel pressure inspection :
1) Check fuel pressure referring to “TABLE B-
3” in this section.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 5. Repair or replace.
5 Fuel injector inspection :
1) Check fuel injector(s) referring to Section
6E2.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 6. Replace.
6 Ignition timing inspection :
1) Check ignition timing referring to Section
6F2.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 7. Adjust or check system
related parts.
7 EGR system inspection :
1) Check EGR system referring to Section
6E2.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 8. Repair or replace.
8 Fuel level sensor inspection :
1) Check fuel level sensor referring to Section
6E2.
Is check result satisfactory?Go to Step 9. Repair or replace.
9 Check engine mechanical parts or system
which can cause engine rough idle or poor per-
formance.
• Engine compression (See Section 6A2).
• Valve lash or lash adjuster (See Section
6A2).
• Valve timing (Timing belt or chain installa-
tion. See Section 6A2).
Are they in good condition?Check wire harness and
connection of ECM (PCM)
ground, ignition system
and fuel injector for inter-
mittent open and short.Repair or replace.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data by using scan tool.
3) Start engine and run it at idle if possible.
4) Check DTC by using scan tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of service manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
Whether following systems (parts) are used in the particular vehicle or not depends on specifica-
tions. Be sure to bear this in mind when performing service work.
