DTC Check
Using SUZUKI scan tool
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to data link connector (DLC) (1)
located on underside of instrument panel.

3) Light over sunload sensor vertically with an incandescent

lamp of approximately 100 W.

NOTE:
• The distance between the sensor and lamp should be
approximately 100 mm (3.94 in.).
• DTC B1504 is detected even if sensor is normal if sun-
load sensor is not lighted over with an incandescent
lamp.

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 possi-
ble 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).

Scan Tool Data

As the data values given below are standard values estimated on the basis of values obtained from the normally
operating vehicles by using a scan tool, use them as reference values. Even when the vehicles are in good con-
dition, there may be cases where the checked values do not fall within each specifies data range. Therefore,
judgement as abnormal should not be made by checking with these data alone.
