Suzuki's "special tool" for FI codes free for all to enjoy.
Very Active Member
Join Date: May 2007 Ok, Suzuki talks about a "special tool" to reveal the FI codes in the manual. The
Posts: 1,689 "special tool" is $15.99 from Suzuki. In reality it is a single toggle switch with two
wire leads and probably a pin insert at each end.
The "special tool" works by using the two leads to connect two jumpers on a wire
header with the 109.
I'm cheap and spoke to a local bike shop, P**** T***, and John told me all about
the "special tool" when I asked him. I won't put the shop name in because I'm not
sure if Suzuki police exist.
Ok, I have a "special tool", only $15.99, see pic below:
Here is the plug which uses the "special tool". Pull the left side cover off by the ECU,
and there will be two unused plugs with black boots on them. One of the plugs inside
the rubber boot is black and the other is white. Remove the boot from the white
plug.
To keep perspective, rotate the white plug so that the plug 'lock' pin is on top. See
the highlight in the picture below:

Then on the right side of the plug, you will insert your "special tool" into the top
right pin connector hole and the bottom right pin connector hole.
Turn the bike ignition on there is no need to start the bike. The FI code will display
in the odometer box. C##. Look up our FI error code in the manual, or call Suzuki
with the number, and then you'll know what's up with the FI.
Now, another tip about the FI code in the odometer box using the "special tool".
When you look into the odometer box and see the code, e.g. C46 (EXCVA exhaust
control valve), just to the left of the code will be a hash mark. That represents the
position of the throttle open percentage/position. If you then open up your throttle,
the hash mark will move up screen to represent the increasing open position of the
throttle. If it is moving appropriately, that is supposed to mean that your throttle is
working ok.
That's it. That's all I know about this. Enjoy.

Pre 1996 GM auto/trucks used the special paper clip Down loading the trouble
codes was a breeze Code 12 three times and then any codes in sequence
flashing three times each

Posts: 295 ON the SV we had a TPS mod. You put the bike into dealer service mode and start
the motor. At a certain RPM as you slowly rev the motor up the hash mark moves
up signaling the ECU to dump more fuel into the motor. On our SVs from the factory
the hash mark moved between 45,000 rpms, which is way to high. With the motor
running we would try to get the hash mark to move to the upper fueling trim right at
1700rpms by adjusting the TPS sensor. This smoothed out low speed/throttle
cruising. It was a simple mod for people that didn't have the PCIII. Wonder if it
works on the 109?

Great post.
Reminds me of the tool to check codes in old GM cars. But you had to count how
many time the check engine light blinked.
I used a cotterpin though.

Yep, I made one of those for my SV1000S so I could adjust the idle throttle micro
switch, reading the code off the speedo read out. Very similar.
Thanks for posting this, it's great info.

Its amazing how people sleep at night for charging $16 for literaly a simple wire
jumper. Thanks Jeff, nothing like having honest people here trying to help everyone
out instead of trying to make a dime off them. Maybe now I can go back to drinking
the good stuff instead of Keystone with the money I will save with this info....

Great "How To" JC... Not sure why it hasn't been moved to the "How To" forum...
Anyway... Thought the following might come in handy...
FI FAULT CODE LIST...
C00: None No defective part
C12: Crankshaft position sensor (CKPS) Pickup coil signal, Generator
C13: Intake air pressure sensor #2 (IAPS #2) For Front cylinder
C14: Throttle position sensor (TPS) (Note *1)
C15: Engine coolant temp. sensor (ECTS)
C17: Intake air pressure sensor #1 (IAPS #1) For Rear cylinder
C21: Intake air temp. sensor (IATS)
C23: Tipover sensor (TOS)
C24: Ignition signal #1 (IG coil #1.1) For Rear cylinder
C25: Ignition signal #2 (IG coil #2.1) For Front cylinder
C26: Ignition signal #1 (IG coil #1.2) For Rear cylinder
C27: Ignition signal #2 (IG coil #2.2) For Front cylinder
C28: Secondary throttle valve actuator (STVA)
C29: Secondary throttle position sensor (STPS) (Note *2)
C31: Gear position signal (GP switch)
C32: Injector signal #1 (FI #1) For Rear Cylinder
C33: Injector signal #2 (FI #2) For Front Cylinder
C40: Idle speed control valve (ISC valve)
C41: Fuel pump control system (FP control system) Fuel Pump, Fuel Pump Relay
C42: Ignition switch signal (IG switch signal) Antitheft
C44: Heated oxygen sensor #2 (HO2S #2) For E02, 19, 24
C46: Exhaust control valve actuator (EXCVA)
C49: PAIR control solenoid valve #2 (PAIR valve #2) Except for E03, 28, 33
C60: Cooling fan control system Cooling fan relay
C61: PAIR control solenoid valve #1 (PAIR #1)
C64: Heated oxygen sensor #1 (HO2S #1) For E02, 19, 24
NOTES:
*1: To get the proper signal from the throttle position sensor, the sensor basic
position is indicated in the LCD (DISPLAY) panel. The malfunction code is indicated in
three digits. In front of the three digits, a line appears in any of the three positions,
upper, middle or lower line. If the indication is upper or lower line when engine rpm
is 900 r/min, slightly turn the throttle position sensor and bring the line to the
middle. In the normal condition, the throttle valve stop screw pushes throttle valves
slightly, and middle line will be indicated.
*2: When the secondary throttle valve actuator and secondary throttle position
sensor signals are not sent to ECM. In this case, C28 and C29 are indicated
alternately.
Well, armed with that info, if your bike throws an FI light, you might be able to seek
out and find the problem... Often it is not a faulty part but a dirty or bad connection
in one of the many plugs... or a pin has popped out of a plug... So before heading
off to have the problem fixed by a mechanic... It pays to check all the plugs (and
pins in the plugs) are all connected by pulling each one off... checking the pins are
in place, clean and reconnecting them...
Who knows... Ya just might save a few $$$

BBB, it is in the HowTo, you just have to go to page 4 to find it.
How To: Suzuki Fi code check with the Suzuki "special tool"
Great of you to post the various codes too, I'm sure a bunch of folks will find that
helpful. Might as well add them to the HowTo thread too.

have you any idea where the Dealer mod's are on the C109?
I looked behind the left cover but it just appears to be the tool box
or am I being daft and should remove the box to get to them??
thanks

rainman, JC hasn't been on since last summer. You might want to ask on the C109
board where the connector is. I have no idea myself.

Thanks Zoom
Its early morning here now and during the night I was so determined to find it that I
went looking so found it hiding below the ecm behind the tool box.
It was in at the dealer the other week for a service so think that it must have got
pushed in anyway they could .
thanks for the advice and info
best regards

FI light coming on itermittenltly
Very Active Member
Thanks for the "tool"
My FI light comes on sometimes and does not produce a code. When i shut the bike
off and start it up again no FI light. I did the #7 pin mod two years ago and had not
had a problem until recently.

Are you running a pc3? If so, check your connections to the throttle position sensor.
Also, when you fire the bike up you need to make sure you let the gauges sweep
before doing it. If you do it early you can get an fi light.
