2013 Suzuki SX4 Crossover, Automatic CVT TransSECTION Continuity Check
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure resistance between connector terminals at both ends of the circuit being checked (between "A-1" and "C-1" in the figure). If no continuity is indicated (infinity or over limit), that means that the circuit is open between terminals "A-1" and "C-1".

  2. Disconnect the connector included in the circuit (connector-B in the figure) and measure resistance between terminals "A-1" and "B-1".

    If no continuity is indicated, that means that the circuit is open between terminals "A-1" and "B-1". If continuity is indicated, there is an open circuit between terminals "B-1" and "C-1" or an abnormality in connector-B.
