The use of the expression 'OBD2 specification' is commonplace but it must be noted that 'OBD2' refers to a specific piece of US legislationĪnd that there are a large number of different specifications that are implemented by thge OBD2 legislation. Some Suzuki models with FIATĭiesel engines are known to use a FIAT version of the KWP specification. Some Suzukis that use an engine and electronics bought in from another supplier may use a protocol proprietary to the engine supplier.

The Factory Service Manual for some models states the protocol to be ISO9141-2, this is because KWP2000 is a software protocol, it uses the ISO9141-2 hardware interface. RhinoPower Ltd is working on a scan tool and software that will be compatible with KWP/SDL and OBD2 protocols using pin 7. To check the response to a Mode 1, PID0 (0100) request, a 0x7F response means that it is an OBD1 ECU. If an ELM tool is available then a terminal emulator programme such as Hyperterminal can be used Incorrectly report 'cannot connect' or 'no data' rather than 'not supported'. Although the ECU will correctly respond to an 'OBD2' request with a not supported message many OBD2 scan tools No support for the OBD2 modes specified by J1979. OBD2/EOBD models have SDL/KWP as the primary interfaceĪnd OBD2/EOBD as the 'public' interface'.Īs the name suggests this protocol uses the KWP2000 protocol and uses pin 7 as specified by the J1962 specification, however there is Implemented worldwide and for markets where OBD2 was not mandated this was the only protocol available. The RhinoPower SDL interface is compatible with this protocol.įrom some time around 2001 Suzuki started to use a different proprietary protocol for their factory scan tools, they call this protocol SDL/KWP.
#Aldl scan serial#
It should be noted that the wiring to the ALDL connector was not the same as usedīy GM models the serial link was wired to pin 9 on the J1962 connector which the specification reserves for manufacturer's assignment. Interface was used, originally using a 12-pin ALDL type connector and then from 1996 onwards a 16-pin J1962 (OBD2) connector. 2001 in OBD1 markets a wholely proprietary Suzuki The Serial Data Link allows live data to be examined,Ĭurrent and historic fault codes to be examined and various actuators such as the EGR to be remotely operated for test purposes. The Check Engine Light method is covered in more detail hereįrom 1991 onwards the majority of Suzuki ECUs have a serial link that can communicate with a hand held scanner or a diagnostic interface. The fault codes cover only emissions related performance and only current faults The ECU flags fault codes mainly in response to gross errors, ie sensors outputs at supply voltage or grounded.

The later method is mainly used on earlier models. Insertion of a jumper in the monitor coupler or the insertion of a fuse in the 'Diag' slot in the fuse box. The most basic form of diagnostic interface fitted to a Suzuki flashes fault codes on the Check Engine Light when the interface is activated. With an annual licence fee being charged. The Suzuki specifications have not been made public but are available to aftermarket scan tool manufacturers

Tech2 and SDT use this propritary/OBD1 interface. The official, and hugely expensive, factory scan tools, the Tech1, The primary interface on Suzuki ECUs is a proprietary format (generally still referred to as OBD1) and where an OBD2 or EOBD interface is alsoįitted, to meet legislative requirement, it is limited to the legal minimum.

Of course manufacturers were free to adopt OBD2 or EOBDīefore the mandated dates so legislation dates only mean that vehicles introduced after those dates will meet the relevant specification,īefore those dates they may be OBD2, EOBD or proprietary. Japan adopted EOBD in 2004, AustraliaĪdopted EOBD in 2006 and India is currently scheduled to adopt it in 2013. In the US OBD2 was mandated from 1996 onwards, in Europe legislation required the adoption of EOBD (mostly compatible with OBD2)įrom 2001 for new petrol engined passenger vehicles through to 2004 for existing models of diesel engined passenger vehicles. The terms 'OBD1' and 'OBD2' are actually very specific to the US but have achieved common usage worldwide. The majority of Suzuki ECUs from 1991 onwards were fitted withĪ diagnostic link, a notable exception being the Swift GTi models. Most manufacturers did fit diagnostic interfaces and these were usually proprietary. Prior to the adoption of OBD2 some countries had a mandatory requirement for On Board Diagnostics, others didn't. Suzuki (and Geo badged Suzuki) ECU diagnostics can be categorised into two very broad types, usually refered to as 'OBD1' and 'OBD2'.
