Operation Manual
Specifications and Functions of the Suzuki Diagnosis System
(1) A. The dedicated software of this diagnosis system runs on a standard personal computer
(PC) under Windows 7 and 8.
The PC-side software performs failure diagnosis by communicating with the onboard
computer through SDS-II that translates and converts the signals from the PC via the
dedicated communication cable.
B. The SDS-II-side software allows the SDS-II to perform failure diagnosis independently by
communicating with the onboard computer via the dedicated communication cable.
C. Similar to B, the SDS-II-side software allows the SDS-II to record data independently by
communicating with the battery via the battery cable, and with the onboard computer via
the dedicated communication cable.
The above three software A, B, and C are available.
(2) The SDS-II dedicated software is compatible with eleven languages: Japanese, English,
French, German, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Portuguese, Chinese (simplified), Thai, and
Indonesian.
(3) To use the SDS-II software, activation is required using an access key that can be obtained
by purchasing the license. Just installing the software does not allow you to use the
software.
(4) Data from various sensors at the time of engine start and stop can be displayed or graphed
in real time, and the displayed data and graphs can be saved and printed out.
(5) The types of data to be displayed can be selected.
(6) Saved data can be redisplayed and graphed (only with the PC-side software).
(7) Failure codes (past and present) recorded at the time of a failure can be called up and
displayed.
Also, the record of changes in data (only two events) at the time of a failure can be
displayed.
(8) A "Trigger" can be set for data (only with the PC-side software). Trigger is a function that
records data from the point when the preset value of one or more types of data is exceeded
(or not met), or to record the failure code display timing on the monitoring graph screen.
(9) The SDS-II can perform active control independently (resetting ISC learned values etc.).
(10) With the data recorder function of C in (1), approx. 5,000 hours (varies with the model) of
operation data or travel data can be recorded, read, and verified using an 4 GB SD card.
(11) The diagnosis system requires the setup of additional functions and the use of dedicated
connectors for the onboard ECU. The system supports new models, such as AN 650,
introduced after May 2002 and does not support models that were produced prior to that
time.

Clear failure codes to confirm the completion of repair and allow the generation of failure
codes for
subsequent failures.
This window allows the user to check the data at the time of
a failure.
The data before and after detection of the failure can be confirmed.

4-8. Active Control
In active control, the system in the motorcycle is controlled by commands from the PC.
This allows the user to check the system operation of the target actuator and reset the
learned values to the initial values. The user can thus check the system operation without
actual running it and initialize any values that have been incorrectly learned.
The active control menus that can be executed vary depending on the system or the model
selected. Only Engine, Engine and Transmission, and ABS systems have an active control
menu available. — For the ABS system, the available active control menu is ABS HU
operating control only.
— For the Transmission system, no active control menu is available.
— For the EPS system, no active control menu is available.
For details, refer to the service manual of the relevant model.
System Active Control Description
Engine Secondary throttle operating control Can set the secondary throttle operating control
to fully closed or fully open.
ISC rpm control Can adjust the ISC valve aperture to the target
rpm value.
ISC air volume control Can set the ISC valve aperture for throttle valve
synchronization.
ISC aperture learned value reset control Can reset the learned value of the ISC valve
aperture to the initial value.
Cooling fan relay control Can operate the cooling fan even when the
coolant temperature is low.
PAIR control solenoid control Can set the PAIR valve to open or closed.
TP fully closed learned value reset Can reset the fully closed learned value of the
throttle position sensor to the initial value.
EVAP purge valve control Can set the EVAP purge valve to open or closed.
Steering damper solenoid operating Can set the steering damper valve to open.
control
Engine run time reset control Can reset the engine run time to 0.
PTC heater operating control Can turn ON and OFF the PTC heater
Decomp sol operating control Can turn ON and OFF the Decomp solenoid.
Exhaust valve operating control Can set the EXCV to fully open or fully closed.
Engine and PPS learned value reset Can reset the learned value of the pulley position
Transmission sensor to the initial value.
ABS ABS HU operating Can reproduce the ABS operation
EV Stand limitation lifted Can control the rear wheel output with values
(PC throttle operation) input to the PC.
Stand limitation lifted Can control the rear wheel output with the throttle
(vehicle throttle operation) grip while the center stand is upright.
1. Example of Engine System (varies with the model)
Controls the ISC valve so as to attain the target rpm. Fixes
the ISC valve to tune the throttle valve.
2) Click the fully closed button and check that Secondary throttle position sensor
is close to 0% and Secondary throttle fully closed is Fully closed.
2) Check that Desired idle speed is close to the lower rpm limit and Engine speed is
also close to the lower rpm limit.
3) Operate the button to slowly increase the Spec to the upper rpm limit.
If the engine revs up, cancel ISC rpm control and slowly increase the Spec again
to the value right before the engine revved up.
Upper rpm limit is set to 1400 rpm in the right figure.
4) Check that Desired idle speed is almost the upper rpm limit and Engine speed is
also almost the upper rpm limit.
2) Click the Fully open button and check that Exhaust control valve actuator
position sensor value is almost 100%.
4) Turn the ignition switch OFF then ON again to start the engine.
Warm up the engine and once the idling is stabilized, stop.
1.6.1. Purpose of Cooling Fan Relay Control
To control the cooling fan relay ON/OFF from the ECM and check the cooling fan
operation.
4)Click the Operate button and check the cooling fan operation.
Reset
4) Drive in auto mode (CVT drive mode) to have the current pulley position learned.
(Slowly accelerate from start to 40-50 km/h to have it learned.)
1.9.1. Purpose of TP Fully Closed Learned Value Reset
To reset the leaned value of the throttle fully closed position with the new sensor or
assembly set in place. This is because the throttle fully closed position or fully closed
air volume may be different when the throttle position sensor is removed and
reinstalled or the throttle body assembly or throttle position sensor is replaced.
2) In the window where TP fully closed learned value reset execution is confirmed,
click Yes.
3) In the window where successful TP fully closed learned value reset is notified, click
OK.
Move the front and rear wheels away from the ground surface using a stand so that
the front and rear wheels can be turned by hand.

before clicking Next.
- Place the PC near the vehicle.
- Place your hand on the wheel applying forces beforehand.
