DTC Check

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

NOTE: The MIL is turned on when the ECM and/or TCM detect malfunction(s). Each control module 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 control modules for any DTC with the SUZUKI scan tool because the DTC stored in ECM and TCM is not read and displayed at a time. However, each of the control modules 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. In case using generic scan tool, refer to DTC TABLE .

Prepare CAN communication OBD generic scan tool or SUZUKI scan tool.
Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
Connect scan tool to data link connector (DLC) (1).

After completing the check, turn ignition switch off and disconnect scan tool from DLC.
