Suzuki Grand Vitara JB416 / JB420. Manual — part 274

7A-2 Heater and Ventilation:

Body Ventilation Construction

S5JB0A7101002

The body ventilation system of this vehicle has a fresh
air intake (1) located at the cowl top panel. When fresh
air intake air selector is at FRE position (fresh),
ventilating air is drawn into the interior from the cowl
center garnish and drawn out from the ventilator outlet
(2) provided at each side body outer panel (both right
and left side).

On-Board Diagnostic System Description (for
Vehicle without A/C)

S5JB0A7101004

HVAC control module (for vehicle without A/C) detects
malfunction, which may occur in the following area.
When HVAC control module detects any malfunction, the
REC (recirculation) indicator lamp (4) flashes on and off
continuously after turning ignition switch to ON position.
• ECT sensor
• CMP sensor
• Wheel speed sensor
• Temperature control actuator
• Air flow control actuator
• Air intake control actuator
• Temperature selector of HVAC control module
• Blower speed selector of HVAC control module
• Serial communication line
• CAN communication line
DTC can be checked by either one of the following ways.
• DTC can be checked by using SUZUKI scan tool (2)

connected to DLC (1).

• Without using SUZUKI scan tool, DTC can be

checked by reading the flashing pattern of both the
FRE (fresh) indicator lamp (3) and the REC
(recirculation) indicator lamp (4).

• Pressing DEF (defogger) switch (5) alternates display

of current DTC and history DTC.

• DEF indicator lamp (6) remains off when display is in

current DTC and it lights up when display is in history
DTC.

HVAC Control System Description (for Vehicle
without A/C)

S5JB0A7101005

For CAN communication system, refer to description on
“CAN Communication System Description in Section
1A”.
When following data are sent from control modules to
BCM through CAN communication, they are sent from
BCM to HVAC control module through serial
communication line.
• Engine coolant temperature
• Engine Speed
• Wheel speed (Vehicle speed)
HVAC control module has a function to make initial
settings of temperature control actuator, air intake
actuator and air flow actuator.
For vehicle without A/C, HVAC control module uses
engine speed signal so that temperature control
actuator, air intake actuator and air flow actuator can
make initial setting for door position.
Initial settings of actuators are automatically made when
engine is started for the first time after battery is
connected.
When initial settings are made, each actuator is forced to
operate for about 15 seconds continuously.
