Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle Diagnostic Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Verify that none of the following preliminary inspections/tests reveal the cause of the vehicle concern before beginning diagnosis:
  2. Install a scan tool. Verify that the scan tool powers up.
  3. Ignition ON, Engine OFF, verify communication with all of the control modules on the vehicle. Refer to DATA LINK REFERENCES for information on the modules you should expect to communicate.
    • If the scan tool does not communicate with one or more of the expected control modules, refer to DATA LINK REFERENCES .
  4. Verify that the following DTCs are not set: U1814, B1428.
    • If either of the DTCs are set, refer to DTC U1814 or DTC B1428 .
      NOTE: Open the drivers door to ensure retained accessory power mode (RAP) is inactive during this test. The engine may start during this test. Turn the engine OFF as soon as the crank power mode has been observed.
  5. With a scan tool, access the Body Control Module Power Mode data display list.

    Verify that all the parameters listed in the following table correspond to the ignition key position. The PMM Power Mode parameters table below illustrates the correct state of these parameters (circuits) with the corresponding ignition switch positions. The circuits related to the parameters are in parenthesis.

    • If any of the power mode parameters do not match in any ignition switch position, refer to POWER MODE MISMATCH .
  6. Ignition ON, view the security indicator. The security indicator should not remain illuminated after the vehicle bulb check has completed.
  7. Attempt to start the engine. Verify that the engine cranks.
  8. Attempt to start the engine. Verify the engine starts and runs.
    • If the engine does not start and run, refer to ENGINE CRANKS BUT DOES NOT RUN .
      NOTE:
      • Do not clear any DTCs unless instructed to do so by a diagnostic procedure.
      • If any DTCs are Powertrain related DTCs, select Capture Info in order to store the DTC information with the scan tool.
  9. Use the appropriate scan tool selections to obtain DTCs from each of the vehicle modules. Verify there are no DTCs reported from any module.
    1. DTCs that begin with a U.
    2. B1000, B1001, B1016, B1019, C0550, C0551, C0558, P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0606, P2101, P2107, or P2610
    3. B1325, B1424, B1517, C0800, C0899, C0900, P0560, P0562, or P0563
    4. Component level DTCs.
    5. System level DTCs.
    6. Any remaining DTCs.
  10. If the customer concern is related to inspection/maintenance (I/M) testing, refer to EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION .
