2 1) Make sure that SUZUKI scan tool is free from
malfunction and that correct program card (software) for
P/S system is used.
2) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
3) Check proper connection of SUZUKI scan tool to DLC.

2) If connections are OK, check that “Serial data circuit” is
as following.
• Insulation resistance of “Serial data circuit” wire is
infinity between its terminal and other terminals at P/S
control module connector.
• Wiring resistance of “Serial data circuit” wire is less
than 1 Ω.
• Insulation resistance of “Serial data circuit” wire is
infinity between its terminal and vehicle body ground.
Is circuit in good condition?
Substitute a known-
good P/S control
