Brake Interlock System Description

S6JB0B5101006

Shift Lock Solenoid Control
This system consists of shift lock solenoid control system and interlock cable control system.
The shift lock solenoid control system is so designed that the select lever can not be shifted from “P” range position 
unless the ignition switch is turned ON and the brake pedal is depressed. And the interlock cable control system is so 
designed that the ignition key cannot be pulled out of the key slot unless the select lever is in “P” range.

A/T Diagnosis General Description

S6JB0B5101007

This vehicle is equipped with an electronic transmission 
control system, which control the automatic shift up and 
shift down timing, TCC operation, etc. suitably to vehicle 
driving conditions.
TCM has an On-Board Diagnosis system which detects 
a malfunction in this system and abnormality of those 
parts that influence the engine exhaust emission.
When diagnosing a trouble in the transmission including 
this system, be sure to have full understanding of the 
outline of “On-Board Diagnostic System Description” and 
each item in “Precautions in Diagnosing Trouble” and 
execute diagnosis according to “A/T System Check” to 
obtain correct result smoothly.

NOTE
There are two type of On-Board Diagnostic 
System, E-OBD system and non-E-OBD 
system, depending on vehicle specifications. 
E-OBD model is equipped with HO2S-2 (1) on 
exhaust No.1 pipe (2). Identify the type of 
system for vehicle being serviced by whether 
the vehicle equipped with HO2S-2 (1) on 
exhaust No.1 pipe (2) or not.

 

On-Board Diagnostic System Description

S6JB0B5101008

For E-OBD model
For automatic transmission control system, TCM has the 
following functions. Refer to “Inspection of TCM and Its 
Circuits”.
• When the ignition switch is turned ON with the engine 

at a stop, malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) (1) turns 
ON to check the bulb of the MIL.

• When TCM detects a malfunction in A/T control 

system (and/or a malfunction which gives an adverse 
effect to vehicle emission) while the engine is running, 
TCM requires ECM to make the malfunction indicator 
lamp in the meter cluster of the instrument panel turn 
ON. TCM stores the malfunction area (DTC according 
to SAE J2012) in TCM memory.
(If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are 
normal after detecting a malfunction, however, it 
makes MIL turn OFF although DTC stored in its 
memory will remain.)

• It is possible to communicate through DLC (3) by 

using not only SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also OBD 
generic scan tool which are in compliance with 
SAEJ1978. (Diagnostic information can be accessed 
by using a scan tool.)

Automatic Transmission/Transaxle:  5A-11

For Non-E-OBD model
For automatic transmission control system, TCM has the 
following functions. Refer to “Inspection of TCM and Its 
Circuits”.
• When ignition switch is turned ON with no malfunction 

in A/T control system is detected, transmission 
warning light (1) lights for about 2 seconds after 
ignition switch is turned ON and then goes OFF for 
bulb check.

• When TCM detects a malfunction in A/T control 

system, it indicates transmission warning light (1) and 
stores malfunction DTC in its memory.

• It is possible to communicate with TCM through data 

link connector (DLC) (3) by using SUZUKI scan tool 
(2). Diagnostic information can be checked and 
erased by using SUZUKI scan tool.

2 Driving Cycle Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is 
stored in TCM memory (in the form of pending DTC and 
freeze frame data) but the malfunction indicator lamp 
does not light at this time. It lights up at the second 
detection of same malfunction also in the next driving 
cycle.

Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored 
temporarily at 1 driving cycle of the DTC which is 
detected in the 2 driving cycle detection logic.

Freeze Frame Data
TCM stores the engine and driving conditions at the 
moment of the detection of a malfunction in its memory. 
This data is called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving 
conditions (e.g., whether the engine was warm or not, 
where the vehicle was running or stopped) when a 
malfunction was detected by checking the freeze frame 
data.
