Troubleshooting
NOTE
• Before performed trouble shooting, be sure to read the "Precautions of ECM Circuit Inspection".
• When measuring circuit voltage, resistance and/or pulse signal at ECM connector, connect the
special tool to ECM and/or the ECM connectors referring to "Inspection of ECM and Its Circuits".
Step
1
MIL power supply check
1) Turn ignition switch to ON position.
Do other warning lights come ON?
2
DTC check
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch turned
OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and check DTC in ECM.
Is there DTC(s) U0073 and/or U0121?
3
Combination meter power supply and ground circuit
check
1) Turn ignition switch OFF position.
2) Disconnect connector from combination meter.
3) Check for proper connection to power supply and
ground terminals of combination meter connector.
4) If connections are OK, check that combination meter
circuit is as follows.
• Circuit voltage between combination meter power
supply terminal and vehicle body ground is 10 –14 V.
• Wiring harness resistance of combination meter
ground terminal and vehicle body ground is less than
3 Ω.
Are they in good condition?
4
CAN communication line circuit check
1) Check CAN communication line circuit between control
modules for open, short, high resistance and
connections referring to Step 5 to 10 under
"Troubleshooting for Communication Error with Scan
Tool Using CAN".
Is circuit in good condition?

Questions and answers
Adjust throttle motor
The idle speed on a Suzuki SX4 should be controlled by the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) rather than adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body, as the screw is factory set. Before using compressed air in the idle-air-bypass passages, the IACV should be removed to prevent damage to its delicate mechanism. If there is an issue with idle speed, checking the IACV function and referring to the SX4 service manual is recommended.

I have an issue of crank but not starting When I scan it brought this codeU0100 Which means no communication thou crank sensor wire was cut off but it was fix back What could be wrong and what could be the solution,
increasing revs when changing gears
The Suzuki SX4 may have increasing revs when changing gears due to its drive-by-wire system and the difference in final drive ratios between the manual (4.41) and automatic (2.81) transmissions. This difference causes high cruising RPMs in the manual version and sluggishness in the automatic. Additionally, if the revs climb while going uphill, it may be due to the transmission downshifting or kicking out of overdrive. Other possible causes include low transmission fluid, abuse, or a faulty transmission design.

My heater stopped working the blower **** is good, control unit ?
Possible issues with the heater in a Suzuki SX4 if the blower is working but the heater is not include:
1. Incorrect Temperature Output
- Temperature control cable broken or bent (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature control cable.
- Temperature selector faulty (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature selector.
- Incorrect installation of the temperature control cable (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check and adjust the position as necessary.
- Temperature control door assembly broken → Repair the temperature control door assembly.
- Air ducts clogged → Repair air ducts.
- Heater core leaked or clogged → Replace the heater core.
- Heater hoses leaked or clogged → Replace heater hoses.
- Thermostat faulty → Check the thermostat.
- Temperature control actuator faulty (auto A/C) → Check the temperature control actuator.
- HVAC control module faulty (auto A/C) → Check the HVAC control module.
- Wiring or grounding faulty (auto A/C) → Repair as necessary.
2. Other Possible Causes
- Air flow control cable broken or bent → Check the air flow control cable.
Checking and addressing these components should help identify and resolve the heater issue.
