    Hey Dan, just wanted to say thank you, my ute had a LDW and FCM error, the car was still under warranty, i took it in, they denied the warranty, because i had a towbar put on and they tried to say the wiring had been cut into the can lines, i didnt even know what can wires were, so i watched your videos, checked the cabling, (they didnt cut into the can wires), checked the voltage to the module, checked the Ohms on the can wires, checked the voltage average on the can wires like you said, worked out the module was dead, bought a second hand module plugged it in cleared the errors with my cheap odb2 reader thingee, fixed and working.
    The garage that declined to fix under warranty told me that it would cost over 8k to fix as they would need to replace all the wiring.
    Thank you so much for your videos, it saved me thousands and educated me at the same time :)

    Hey Dan love your videos. The first thing I noticed was the no fuel pump. Most fuel injection cars when you turn on the ignition switch the pump runs for 15 seconds to pressurize the system, you sometimes can hear this, then it runs during cranking. The pump stops when the ecu detects the engine has stopped or the ignition is turned off. Can't wait for the next video.

    Great fix as always Dan! I've diagnosed many dozens of bad fuel pumps in my career, some of them out of the shop at friends and families homes without much tools with me. Some of the quick tests that I take 5 mins to do right off the bat include taking off the gas cap and listening for the pump. If no pump is heard I would go for a relay first and without any test equipment a guy can swap one of the other known good relays in the fuse box with the fuel pump relay and VIOLA. I've seen relays fail to actuate, actuate but not pass current, and stay on due to welded contacts. They can fail a number of different ways and I'm sure I haven't seen them all yet!

    When I removed the PCB that housed the two control box bases I found a Schrack PCB relay mounted inside. It's purpose was to control both fans from one control box but although it was switching it wasn't passing any current, so I ordered up a replacement and soldered it in and she fired up like a sweetie.

    I have the same Swift model in the family since 2013, and it never missed a beat. That's why I was little surprised to see it as a patient in your workshop 🙂
    I guess that any car can have a faulty relay after all 🙂
    It is one of the best small cars on the market, that also happened to be quite affordable.

    Yessiree...Ivan got a bit lucky and discovered that knock sensor on the blogs really was for real.
    Those relays are interesting. A mechanic I know of says replace the relay when replacing the fuel pump as they wear out. This one didn't get very far. I could hear the bad relay sounds and when compared to the new one, it was night and day which was had complete functionality. Good one DD.

    Love how you go the extra mile to explain the system and how it works. Most of us would just go directly to a fuse or relay and test but you went the extra steps to prove the integrity of the system and if the issue was a broken or shorted wire you would've found it. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos, you would make a great teacher in diagnostics. 👍

    I love this video. Being a prehistoric mechanic (started several years before any diagnostic computers came on to the market) I was forced to learn the basics. When the diagnostic computers came on to the market some of the new mechanics were relying on them to tell them what was wrong with the car. In many cases you could just diagnose the cars without a computer.
    But I do love diagnostic equipment, I have some and I love to use it.

    I bought a new one in 2013 in Denmark and it's also called a Suzuki Swift here, it never skipped a beat. The most reliable car I've had to this day. Unfortunately, it was totaled in June 2020, due to someone rear-ended me and it got totaled.

    I love your video about how to perform step by step to troubleshoot crank no start issue. Recently my civic suddenly does "crank no start" in first two cranks after the car sit for a whole day. Battery/Alternator were all replaced recently. Additional ground cable was added. Same thing. There is no improvement. Two years ago. my car was stranded at the rest stop and towed to a shop and the shop said the starter died which was also replaced. I don't believe shortly in two years, now I am experiencing now crank no start issue. Last night, I cranked twice and it was no start. The third crank started the car up. I was leading to believe it's the fuel or spark issue. Now after seeing your video, I may go and swap out the fuel pump relay, which is cheap enough that I can see the result or what not immediately.

    You are a genius I love your diagnosis. Had a car over 200,000 km and has the same situation and the first thing I did was switch the relay with the identical one next to it for the air. Car started up right away. Think you did a little bit too much work but I enjoyed that you did it not me. Lol

    That relay tester is a must-have tool. Takes very little time to pop out a relay and put it in the tester. It's one of my first stops for air conditioning and fuel ever since I picked up that tester. Also handy is the fuel pump relay bypass switches. Basically a rocker switch that goes in place of a relay to manually turn it on. The switch is handy to cycle A/C compressor clutches.

    Looks like the same style of relay that Toyota and Honda use a ton of here in the US. The main failures we see are for A/C clutch control. Open the relay box lid and tap on it, if the compressor comes on, put a new one in. Happy customer!

    Another brilliantly described and broken down into easy to understand tests video. I've personally come across this exact problem on a VW pollo a few years ago. I didn't have some the wonderful test equipment you have available. However I used a test light to see if there was power going to the fuel pump, which of course there wasn't. I then ran a live inline fused power feed directly from the battery to test the pump. The car started straight up. So I took a change abd bought a new relay, and that was the problem.

      @DiagnoseDan Agreed. Simplicity is the cornerstone of robustness and Suzuki gets this right. Toyota has lost a little of this as has Honda of recent years, but Suzuki has realized that buying a budget car means buying low running costs and not just low purchase costs. And in many cases the largest cost of vehicle maintenance is unnecessary labour chasing down problems in unnecessarily complicated systems.

    Dan...when you went to go check for fuel and said that if there wasn't any you weren't airing the video...several years ago I had a customer tow in a Chevrolet Cavalier here in Canada...crank no start, so I get in and crank it and look at the gauges..."why if the fuel gauge reading empty? So I put the car in the air and take the fuel fill hose to the tank and take a look in to verify...yep, she was empty! 20L of gas poured in and the gauge moved and wouldn't you know...the car started! Yes...the car simply ran out of gas!

  • @Russpeed301

    In Trinidad and Tobago it is indeed a Swift. Currently Japan loves these and lots of performance parts and accessories. The first swift (Geo metro I think in USA ) was quite a rocket for its time with a 1.3 twin cam. That model continued in Czech I think for one or two generations if Swifts. That 1st one was the best drive of all Swifts if one likes spirited driving chipping tyres in 2nd etc. I think the Austin's did a lot with them.
