  3. Apply light to sunload sensor vertically, holding incandescent lamp of approximately 100 W about 100 mm (3.94 in.) away from sunload sensor.
    NOTE: If B1504 is detected when vehicle is not exposed to light (indoor, etc.), check again for DTC with light from incandescent lamp applied to sunload sensor, referring to SUNLOAD SENSOR INSPECTION . If B1504 is not detected in this check, sunload sensor is in good condition.
  4. Turn ignition switch to ON position.
  5. Read DTC according to instructions displayed on SUZUKI scan tool and print it or write it down. Refer to SUZUKI scan tool operator's manual for further details.

    If communication between scan tool and ECM (PCM) is not possible, check if scan tool is communicable by connecting it to ECM (PCM) in another vehicle. If communication is possible in this case, scan tool is good condition. Then check data link connector and serial data line (circuit) in the vehicle with which communication was not possible.

  6. After completing the check, turn ignition switch OFF position and disconnect SUZUKI scan tool from data link connector (DLC).
