Duplicating Failure Conditions

2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Duplicating Failure Conditions
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Suzuki XL7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  • If none of the previous tests are successful, attempt to duplicate and/or capture the failure conditions.
  • Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, where applicable, contains the conditions that were present when the DTC set.
    1. Review and record Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
    2. Clear the DTCs using the scan tool.
    3. Turn the key to OFF and wait 15 seconds.
    4. Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that were noted in Freeze Frame/Failure Records data, as closely as possible. The vehicle must also be operating within the Conditions for Running the DTC. Refer to Conditions for Running the DTC in the supporting text if a DTC is being diagnosed.
    5. Monitor DTC Status for the DTC being tested. The scan tool will indicate Ran, when the enabling conditions have been satisfied long enough for the DTC to run. The scan tool will also indicate whether the DTC passed or failed.
  • An alternate method is to drive the vehicle with the DMM connected to a suspected circuit. An abnormal reading on the DMM when the concern occurs, may help you locate the concern.
