ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE) 6-1-9
On-Board Diagnostic System (Vehicle with
Monitor Connector)
ECM diagnosis troubles which may occur in the area including the
following parts when the ignition switch is ON and the engine is
running, and indicates the result by turning on of flashing mal-
function indicator lamp (1).
• Heated oxygen sensor (if equipped)
•ECT sensor
•TP sensor
• IAT sensor
• CMP sensor
•MAF sensor
• Knock sensor
• EGR (if equipped)
•VSS
• CPU (Central Processing Unit) of ECM
ECM and malfunction indicator lamp (1) operate as follows.
• Malfunction indicator lamp (1) light when the ignition switch
is turned ON (but the engine at stop) with the diagnosis
switch terminal ungrounded regardless of the condition of
Engine and Emission control system. This is only to check
the malfunction indicator lamp (1) bulb and its circuit.
• If the above areas of Engine and Emission control system is
free from any trouble after the engine start (while engine is
running), malfunction indicator lamp (1) turns OFF.
• When ECM detects a trouble which has occurred in the
above areas, it makes malfunction indicator lamp (1) turn ON
while the engine is running to warn the driver of such occur-
rence of trouble and at the same time it stores the trouble
area in ECM back-up memory. (The memory is kept as it is
even if the trouble was only temporary and disappeared
immediately. And it is not erased unless the power to ECM is
shut off for specified time.)
ECM also indicates trouble area in memory by means of
flashing of malfunction indicator lamp (1) at the time of
inspection. (i.e. when diagnosis switch terminal (2) is con-
nected to ground terminal (3) with a service wire and ignition
switch is turned ON.)
NOTE:
When a trouble occurs in the above areas and disappears
soon while the diagnosis switch terminal is ungrounded
and the engine is running, malfunction indicator lamp (1)
lights and remains ON as the trouble exists but it turns
OFF when the normal condition is restored.

DATA LINK CONNECTOR (DLC)
DLC (1) is in compliance with SAEJ1962 in its installation posi-
tion, the shape of connector and pin assignment.
K line of ISO 9141 is used for SUZUKI scan tool to communicate
with ECM (PCM), ABS control module and air bag SDM. SUZUKI
serial data line is used for SUZUKI scan tool to communicate with
Immobilizer control module.
Precaution in Diagnosing Trouble
• Don’t disconnect couplers from ECM (PCM), battery cable from battery, ECM (PCM) ground wire harness
from engine or main fuse before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in
ECM (PCM) memory. Such disconnection will erase memorized information in ECM (PCM) memory.
• Diagnostic information stored in ECM (PCM) memory can be cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI
scan tool or generic scan tool. Before using scan tool, read its Operator’s (Instruction) Manual carefully to
have good understanding as to what functions are available and how to use it.
• Priorities for diagnosing troubles (Vehicle without monitor connector)
If two or more diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, proceed to the flow table of the DTC which was
detected earliest in the order and follow the instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes according to the following priorities.
– Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171/P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too
rich), DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 (Misfire detected) and DTC P0400 (EGR
flow malfunction)
– DTC P0171/P0172/P0174/P0175 (Fuel system too lean/too rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
– DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 (Misfire detected)
• Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection
and observe what is written there.
• ECM (PCM) Replacement
When substituting a known-good ECM (PCM), check for following conditions. Neglecting this check may
cause damage to a known-good ECM (PCM).
– Resistance value of all relays, actuators is as specified respectively.
– MAF sensor, MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of power circuits of these sen-
sors is shorted to ground.

Scan Tool Data
As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicle is in good condi-
tion, there may be cases where the checked value does not fall within each specified data range. Therefore,
judgment as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
Also, conditions in the below table that can be checked by the scan tool are those output from ECM (PCM) as
Commands and there may be cases where the engine or actuator is not operating (in the condition) as indicated
by the scan tool. Be sure to use the timing light to check the ignition timing referring to Section 6F2.
NOTE:
For asterisk (
✱) marked item in “OTHER” column, item can be read only SUZUKI scan tool.
When checking the data with the engine running at idle or racing, be sure to shift M/T gear to the
neutral gear position and A/T gear to the “Park” position and pull the parking brake fully. Also, if
nothing or “no load” is indicated, turn OFF A/C, all electric loads, P/S and all the other necessary
switches.

Scan tool data definitions
COOLANT TEMP (Engine Coolant Temp., °C/°F)
It is detected by engine coolant temp. sensor.
INTAKE AIR TEMP (°C/°F)
It is detected by intake air temp. sensor.
DESIRE IDLE (Desired Idle Speed RPM)
The desired idle speed is an ECM (PCM) internal parameter which indicates the ECM (PCM) requested idle. If
the engine is not running, the number is not valid.
CLOSED THROT POS (Closed Throttle Position ON/OFF)
This parameter will read ON when the throttle valve is fully closed. Or OFF when the throttle is not fully closed.
IAC FLOW DUTY (%)
This parameter indicates IAC valve opening rate which controls bypass air flow.
ENGINE SPEED (RPM)
It is computed by reference pulses from the Camshaft Position Sensor.
SHORT FT B1 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / SHORT FT B2 (Short Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Short term fuel trim value represents short term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
LONG FT B1 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 1, %) / LONG FT B2 (Long Term Fuel Trim Bank 2, %)
Long term fuel trim value represents long term corrections to the air/fuel mixture computation. A value of 0 indi-
cates no correction, a value greater than 0 means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 implies an
enleanment correction.
IGNITION ADVANCE (Ignition Timing Advance For No.1 Cylinder, °)
Ignition timing of No.1 cylinder is commanded by ECM (PCM). The actual ignition timing should be checked by
using the timing light.
BATTERY VOLTAGE (V)
This parameter indicates battery positive voltage inputted from main relay to ECM (PCM).
MAF (Mass Air Flow Rate, g/s, lb/min)
It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold which is measured by mass air flow sensor.
INJ PULSE WIDTH B1 (Fuel Injection Pulse Width Bank 1, msec) / INJ PULSE WIDTH B2 (Fuel Injec-
tion Pulse Width Bank 2, msec)
This parameter indicates time of the injector drive (valve opening) pulse which is output from ECM (PCM).
THROTTLE POS (Absolute Throttle Position, %)
When throttle position sensor is fully closed position, throttle opening is indicated as 0 % and 100 % for full open
position.
