Troubleshooting for 1.DEF: Internal electronic fault
Check the fuel flow actuator connector.
Check the ECM connections.
Check the low pressure circuit and that the correct fuel is being used using fault finding
• Tests Test 2 referring to “Test 2: Low pressure circuit check”.
Repair if necessary.
Measure the resistance of the fuel flow actuator between “C83-1” and “C83-2” terminals.
If the resistance is not 2.9 – 3.1
Ω at 20 °C, 68 °F, replace the fuel flow actuator.
Check the continuity and for the absence of interference resistance on the following connections:
• Between “C83-2” wire of fuel flow actuator connector and “C86-7” terminal of ECM connector
• Between “C83-1” wire of fuel flow actuator connector and “E33-6” wire of main relay mounting connector
Repair if necessary.
Check the fuel pressure sensor using the interpretation of “DTC P0190: Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor Circuit
Malfunction”.
Repair if necessary.
If the fault is still present, check that the ECM output stage is working correctly.
• Either using an ammeter:
With the regulator connected, connect the amperometric clamp to the connection to the fuel flow actuator
“C83-1” terminal connection, observing the current direction.Clear any fuel pressure sensor faults and perform
output test “IMV/Flow actuator” on SUZUKI scan tool.
The ammeter should display five cycles of two successive strengths: ~ 0.6 A then ~ 2 A
• Or using a voltmeter:
With the fuel flow actuator connected, connect the negative terminal of the voltmeter to “C83-2” wire of the
fuel flow actuator connector and the positive terminal to “C83-1” wire. Clear any fuel flow actuator faults, then
perform “IMV/Flow actuator” on SUZUKI scan tool:
The voltmeter should display two successive voltage readings:
~ 3.15 volts for an opening cyclic ratio of 25% then ~ 9.45 V for an opening cyclic ratio of 75% (five cycles)
• Or using an oscilloscope (at 5 V range/division and 1 ms/div time base):
With the fuel flow actuator connected, connect the negative terminal of the oscilloscope to the ground terminal
at battery and the positive terminal to “C83-2” wire of the fuel flow actuator connector, clear any fuel flow
actuator faults, then perform “IMV/Flow actuator” on SUZUKI scan tool:
The oscilloscope should display a square-wave signal of an amplitude of 12.5 V at a frequency of 185 Hz
(with an opening cyclic ratio alternating from 25 to 75%).
If the measurement does not show any control or continuous voltage, substitute a known-good ECM and
recheck.
