Circuit Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Suzuki Reno and 2005 Suzuki Forenza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) and the Engine Control Module (ECM) are connected through the serial data link circuit. The TCM sends a Class-II P-code status message to the ECM every 100 milliseconds to confirm the transmission is functioning correctly. If the TCM detects either an A- or B-type malfunction within the transmission, the TCM will send to the ECM a P-code status message to turn the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) ON and set DTC P0700.
