Precautions on Engine ServiceS6RW0D1100001
CAUTION!
The following information on engine service
should be noted carefully, as it is important in
preventing damage, and in contributing to
reliable engine performance.

• When raising or supporting engine for any reason, do
not use a jack under oil pan. Due to small clearance
between oil pan and oil pump strainer, jacking against
oil pan may cause it to be bent against strainer,
resulting in damaged oil pick-up unit.
• It should be kept in mind, while working on engine,
that 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent and
damaging short circuits.
When performing any work where electrical terminals
can be grounded, ground cable of the battery should
be disconnected at battery.
• Any time the air cleaner, throttle body or intake
manifold is removed, the intake opening should be
covered. This will protect against accidental entrance
of foreign material which could follow intake passage
into cylinder and cause extensive damage when
engine is started.
Precaution on On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
System
S6RW0D1100006
There are two types of On-Board Diagnostic (OBD)
system, Euro OBD system and non-Euro-OBD system,
depending on the vehicle specification.
It is possible to identify each OBD system by checking if
it is equipped with the HO2S-2 or not.
• Euro OBD model is equipped with HO2S-2.
• Non-Euro-OBD model is not equipped with HO2S-2.
NOTE
For Taiwan model, bear in mind that it is non-
Euro-OBD model which is equipped with
HO2S-2.

As the diagnosis function is different between these two
types, be sure to fully understand the OBD system
referring to “On-Board Diagnostic System Description”.
OBD System Summary Table
Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS6RW0D1100002
NOTE
There are two types of OBD system
depending on the vehicle specification.
For identification, refer to “Precaution on On-
Board Diagnostic (OBD) System”.

• Don’t disconnect ECM couplers from ECM, battery
cable from battery, ECM ground wire harness from
engine or main fuse before confirming diagnostic
information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in
ECM memory. Such disconnection will erase
memorized information in ECM memory.
• Diagnostic information stored in ECM memory can be
cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan
tool or CAN communication OBD 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.
For Euro OBD model, it is indistinguishable which
module turns on MIL because not only ECM but also
TCM (for A/T model) turns on MIL (for details of on-
board diagnostic system for A/T model, refer to “On-
Board Diagnostic System Description in Section 5A”
for A/T).
Therefore, check both ECM and TCM (for A/T model)
for DTC when MIL lights on.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1A-6 Engine General Information and Diagnosis:
• As a condition for detecting a malfunction in some
areas in the system being monitored by ECM 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
conditions then are stored in ECM memory as freeze
frame data. (For the details, refer to description on
“Freeze Frame Data: ”.)
• It is possible to communicate via DLC (3) by using not
only SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also CAN
communication OBD generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be accessed by using a scan tool.)
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means sufficient vehicle operation such
that the coolant temperature has risen by at least 22 °C
(40 °F) from engine starting and reaches a minimum
temperature of 70 °C (160 °F).
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup and engine
shutoff.2 Driving Cycle Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is
stored in ECM memory (in the form of pending DTC) but
the malfunction indicator lamp does not light at this time.
It lights up at the second detection of same malfunction
also in the next driving cycle.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored
temporarily at 1 driving cycle of the DTC which is
detected in the 2 driving cycle detection logic.
Freeze Frame Data
ECM stores the engine and driving conditions (in the
form of data as shown in the figure) at the moment of the
detection of a malfunction in its memory. This data is
called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving
conditions (e.g., whether the engine was warm or not,
where the vehicle was running or stopped, where air/fuel
mixture was lean or rich) when a malfunction was
detected by checking the freeze frame data. Also, ECM
has a function to store each freeze frame data for three
different malfunctions in the order as each malfunction is
detected. Utilizing this function, it is possible to know the
order of malfunctions that have been detected. Its use is
helpful when rechecking or diagnosing a trouble.

I5RW0C110001-01
I5RW0C110028-03

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Engine General Information and Diagnosis: 1A-7
Priority of freeze frame data:
ECM has 4 frames where the freeze frame data can be stored. The first frame stores the freeze frame data of the
malfunction which was detected first. However, the freeze frame data stored in this frame is updated according to the
priority described. (If malfunction as described in the upper square “1” is detected while the freeze frame data in the
lower square “2” has been stored, the freeze frame data “2” will be updated by the freeze frame data “1”.)
In the 2nd through the 4th frames, the freeze frame data of each malfunction is stored in the order as each malfunction
is detected. These data are not updated.
Shown in the table are examples of how freeze frame data are stored when two or more malfunctions are detected.
Freeze frame data clearance:
The freeze frame data is cleared at the same time as clearance of DTC.
Non-Euro-OBD Model
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 malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1).
• Heated oxygen sensor-1
• Heated oxygen sensor-2
• ECT sensor
•TP sensor
• Throttle actuator
• MAF sensor
• IAT sensor
• CMP sensor
• CKP sensor
• Knock sensor
• Wheel speed sensor
• CPU (Central Processing Unit) of ECM
• APP sensor
• Oil control valve (VVT model)
• Barometric pressure sensor
• A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
• ECM backup power supply
• Fuel level sensor
•CANECM and MIL operate as follows.
• MIL lights 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 MIL in
the combination meter 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), MIL turns OFF.
• When ECM detects a trouble which has occurred in
the above areas, it makes MIL turn ON while the
engine is running to warn the driver of such
occurrence 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 or it is cleared by SUZUKI scan tool
(SUZUKI-SDT) (2).)

Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame Data Check, Record and
Clearance
First, check DTC (including pending DTC), referring to
“DTC Check”. If DTC is indicated, print it and freeze
frame data or write them down and then clear them by
referring to “DTC Clearance”. DTC indicates malfunction
that occurred in the system but does not indicate
whether it exists now or it occurred in the past and the
normal condition has been restored now. To check which
case applies, check the symptom in question according
to Step 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6 and 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step
only or failure to clear the DTC in this step will lead to
incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit
or difficulty in troubleshooting.
Step 3 and 4: Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of
the items that support proper function of the engine
referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5: Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Based on information obtained in “Step 1: Customer
Complaint Analysis: ” and “Step 2: DTC / Freeze Frame
Data Check, Record and Clearance: ”, confirm trouble
symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC
Confirmation Procedure” described in each DTC diag.
flow.
Step 6 and 7: Rechecking and Record of DTC /
Freeze Frame Data
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8: Engine Basic Inspection and Engine
Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic engine check according to “Engine Basic
Inspection” first. When the end of the flow has been
reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a
possible cause referring to “Engine Symptom Diagnosis”
and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle
(symptoms obtained through steps of customer
complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or
basic engine check) and repair or replace faulty parts, if
any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness,
connector, actuator, ECM or other part and repair or
replace faulty parts.Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11: Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the
engine is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC once,
perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm that no
DTC is indicated.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) CheckS6RW0D1104002
1) Turn ON ignition switch (with engine at stop) and
check that MIL (1) lights.
If MIL does not light up (or MIL dims) but engine can
be starting, go to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Does
Not Come ON with Ignition Switch ON and Engine
Stop (but Engine Can Be Started)” for
troubleshooting.
If MIL does not light with ignition switch ON and
engine does not start though it is cranked up, go to
“ECM Power and Ground Circuit Check”.
2) Start engine and check that MIL turns OFF.
If MIL remains ON and no DTC is stored in ECM, go
to “Malfunction Indicator Lamp Remains ON after
Engine Starts” for troubleshooting.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1A-26 Engine General Information and Diagnosis:
• The MIL is turned on when the ECM and/or
TCM detect malfunction(s). Each ECM and
TCM stores diagnostic information as the
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in its
memory and outputs the DTC to the scan
tool.
Therefore, check both of the ECM and TCM
for any DTC with the scan tool because the
DTC stored in ECM and TCM is not read
and displayed at a time. However, each of
the ECM and TCM needs not to be checked
with the generic scan tool because the
DTC stored in ECM and TCM is read and
displayed at a time.

1) Prepare CAN communication OBD generic scan tool
or SUZUKI scan tool.
Special tool
(A): SUZUKI scan tool (SUZUKI-SDT)
2) With ignition switch OFF, connect it to DLC (1)
located on underside of instrument panel at driver’s
seat side.
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC and freeze frame data according to
instructions displayed on scan tool and print them or
write them down. Refer to scan tool operator’s
manual for details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM is not
possible, go to “Troubleshooting for Communication
Error with Scan Tool Using CAN”.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off
and disconnect scan tool from DLC.
