FLOW TABLE”.
2 Check battery voltage.
Is it 11 V or more?
Go to Step 3. Charge or replace
battery.
3 Is engine cranked? Go to Step 4. Go to “DIAGNOSIS”
in Section 6G.
4 Does engine start? Go to Step 5. Go to Step 7.
5 Check idle speed as follows.

(“P” position for A/T).
3) All of electrical loads are switched off.
4) Check engine idle speed with scan tool.
See Fig. 1.
Is it 800 – 900 r/min.?
Go to Step 6. Go to “ENGINE
DIAGNOSIS TABLE”.
6 Check ignition timing as follows.
1) Select “MISC” mode on SUZUKI scan tool and
fix ignition timing to initial one. See Fig. 2.
2) Using timing light (1), check initial ignition timing.
See Fig. 3.
Is it 5_ ± 3_ BTDC at specified idle speed?
Go to “ENGINE
DIAGNOSIS TABLE”.
Check ignition control
related parts referring
to Section 6F.
7 Check immobilizer system malfunction as follows.
1) Check immobilizer indicator lamp for flashing.
Is it flashing when ignition switch is turned to ON

2) Remove spark plugs and connect them to high
tension cords.
3) Ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
Is it in good condition?
Go to Step 11. Go to “DIAGNOSIS”
in Section 6F.
11 Check fuel injector for operation as follows.
1) Install spark plugs and connect injector
connectors.
2) Check that fuel is injected out in conical shape
from fuel injector when cranking.
Is it in good condition?
