10C-22 Immobilizer Control System: 

Inspection of Immobilizer Control Module (ICM) 
and Its Circuit

S5JB0AA304011

Immobilizer control module (ICM) and its circuit can be 
checked at immobilizer control module (ICM) wiring 
connector by measuring voltage.

CAUTION

!

 

Immobilizer control module (ICM) cannot be 
checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited to 
connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to 
immobilizer control module (ICM) with 
connector disconnected from it.

 

Voltage Check

1) Remove immobilizer control module (ICM) (1) from 

steering lock assembly or steering lock unit referring 
to “Immobilizer Control Module (ICM) Removal and 
Installation”.

2) Connect immobilizer control module (ICM) connector 

(2) to immobilizer control module (ICM).

3) Check voltage at each terminal.

NOTE
As each terminal voltage is affected by the 
battery voltage, confirm that it is 11 V or more 
when the ignition switch is turned to ON 
position.

Reference Waveform

NOTE
When ECM cannot read the transponder code at the first try, ECM tries to read the transponder code 
repeatedly up to 8 times. The second waveform is the example showing that ECM read the transponder 
code successfully at the second try.

 

[A]: The transponder code read successfully at the first try.
[B]: The transponder code read successfully at the second try.

Repair Instructions

Immobilizer Control Module (ICM) Removal and 
Installation

S5JB0AA306001

Removal

1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
2) Disable air bag system referring to “Disabling Air 

Bag System in Section 8B”.

3) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module referring to 

“Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module Removal and 
Installation in Section 8B”.

4) Remove steering wheel referring to “Steering Wheel 

Removal and Installation in Section 6B”.

5) Remove steering column lower and upper covers.
6) Remove engine start knob (1) if equipped with 

keyless start system.

7) Disconnect connector (1) from immobilizer control 

module (ICM) (2).

8) Remove a screw (3) from immobilizer control module 

(ICM).

9) Remove immobilizer control module (ICM) from 

steering lock assembly or steering lock unit.

NOTE
The antenna part of immobilizer control 
module (ICM) is fragile. Therefore, do not add 
strong power to the part or twist the part.

 

Installation
Reverse the removal procedure.

Registration of the Ignition Key

S5JB0AA306002

To finish the registration of the ignition key, the 
transponder code memorized in the transponder built in 
the ignition key has to be registered with ECM. To 
register the transponder code with ECM, perform 
“Register Ig Key” mode of SUZUKI scan tool referring to 
“SUZUKI Tech 2 Operator’s Manual”.

NOTE

• A maximum of four transponder codes can 

be registered with ECM.

• At an early part of the registration process, 

all transponder codes of the ignition keys 
in use already registered with ECM are 
cleared. Therefore, before starting the 
registration, prepare all ignition keys in 
use in addition to the new ignition key(s) to 
be registered with ECM.

 

Procedure after ECM Replacement

S5JB0AA306003

After ECM is replaced with new one or used one, the 
transponder code in the transponder built in the ignition 
key has to be registered with ECM. To register 
transponder code in the ignition key with ECM, perform 
“Replace New ECM” mode of SUZUKI scan tool 
referring to “SUZUKI Tech 2 Operator’s Manual”.

NOTE
A maximum of four transponder codes can 
be registered with ECM.
