1. INTRODUCTION
The Suzuki SDT-II is a PC type Diagnostic Tester that consists of the Suzuki VCI, a PC and the
diagnostics software.
PC Suzuki VCI
The Suzuki SDT-II is designed for use by trained service personnel to diagnose and repair automotive electronic systems.
Please read this operators manual carefully and familiarize yourself with the Suzuki SDT-II to maximize the effectiveness of
diagnosis using the VCI.
Feature Description
1 Automatic DTC reading from all By pressing Diagnosis button, a diagnostics (read DTC) process for all systems
system of the test vehicle is run automatically.
Highly accurate diagnostic services can be provided and misdiagnosis can be
prevented, even if technicians do not recognize what exact systems are on the
vehicle, because all systems can be identified automatically.
2 Easy to manage diagnostic records All diagnostic data is recorded with VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) rather
than by each function. This makes easy to manage diagnostic history data by
customer.
3 Diagnostic Report Functions are provided to generate reports for vehicle owners. Specific data items
can be periodically collected and saved to provide a unified diagnostic history.
4 Data Recorder A standalone VCI can capture data from a test vehicle using defined trigger
conditions. This feature can help diagnose problems that are difficult to reproduce
on the vehicle.

Whether step 4-1 or step 4-2 is selected will depend on the SDT-II software update content.
Perform step 4-1 when only Data Recorder software was updated.
Perform step 4-2 when VCI software was updated.
Refer to section 2.5 (2) and 2.5 (3) to determine the actual updating procedure.
If VCI Data Recorder Software Mismatch is shown after installing the SDT-II software to the PC, an
update to the Data Recorder Software is necessary.
If VCI Data Recorder software Mismatch is shown on the home screen after starting SDT-II when VCI is connected to a
PC (Fig. 2-23), Click the OK button (1). Then click the X button (2) in the upper right corner of the SDT-II screen to
terminate SDT-II software. Update the Data Recorder software using the VCI Manager according to the procedure in
section 2.6.
If Data Recorder is out of date is shown on VCI configuration screen (Fig. 2-24), an update to the Data Recorder software
is also necessary.
If the PC and VCI are connected with wireless communication, only the VCI configuration screen (Fig. 2-24) will be
available.
Fig.2-23 Fig.2-24
If you cannot connect the VCI to the PC using the procedure in section 3.1 after updating the SDT-II
software, you may need to update the VCI software.
Start VCI configuration (Fig. 2-25). Check for the VCI software is out of date message. Click the X button (3) in the upper
right corner of the SDT-II screen to terminate the SDT-II software. Then, update the Data Recorder software using the VCI
Manager following the procedure in section 2.3.
If both VCI software and the Data Recorder software have updates, updating VCI software as described in section 2.3 will
update the Data Recorder software at the same time.
Data captured by the VCI data recorder will be erased when the VCI software is updated. Upload the captured data to PC
before running VCI Software update. See section 16.2 for the data upload operation.

5. SCAN LOG
Scanning is started by clicking the Diagnosis icon on the home screen. The following process will be
performed during scanning:
Identifies the vehicle and the vehicles systems.
Detects DTCs from all systems.
Displays the results of scanning (Fig.5-1).
Reads VIN. If not read from the vehicle, the VIN will be required to be input manually (section 5.3). You might be
required to select optional vehicle equipment depending on the vehicle (section 5.4).
Input Vehicle Memo / Vehicle Health Memo (section 5.5).
The Edit button will be enabled after the scan is complete (section 5.8).
The alphanumeric characters that are displayed next to
the system name in the Scan Log screen are a
component ID.
(Example. ABS/ESP: 56100-72MA (Fig. 5-1,1). The
component ID is a code that classifies the controller according
to information related to the diagnostics system. Component
ID is neither a software ID nor a part number. If the controllers
have same diagnostic information in terms of DTC, active test
or others, then the same component ID is assigned to those
controllers, even though they may have different software IDs
or part numbers.

VIN is the key information for administration of diagnosis history on the SDT-II. All diagnosis results are
organized by VIN in SDT-II.
VIN will be shown in the dialog box (Fig.5-3) when it is read automatically from the vehicle. If it is correct, click the
OK button (1). If revision is necessary, click the Edit button (2).
If you clicked the Edit button, the same dialog (Fig.5-4) used when the VIN is not read automatically will be shown
(see the next page).
Note: Some models may not read out the VIN, if the ECU specification does not support it.
1 2
Fig.5-3
If VIN was not read out from the vehicle automatically, the correct VIN should be input to the SDT-II from
an ID plate or from other information.
If manual VIN input is desired or required, the VIN input dialog (Fig.5-4) will be shown. Select an appropriate VIN
format, and then input the VIN in the dialog box, referencing the example. The OK button (1) will be enabled after the
appropriate number of digits is input.
Instead of re-entering the VIN, click the History button (2) and VIN selection dialog (Fig. 5-5) will be shown. Click the
appropriate VIN, then click the OK button (3). Scanning will continue.
The 10 most recently accessed VINs that were manually entered are remembered on the VIN Input History dialog.
Note that these VIN are sorted by not the last saved date but by the last access date. Data that has an old saved date
might be shown at the top if it has a more recent last access date, because the last assess date is updated when the
memo field of the operation log is updated. Refer to section 10.2(1) regarding Last Access and Last Saved Date.

Input information to identify the vehicle, such as the license plate number, to the Vehicle Memo field.
Input the mileage, the symptoms and the job summary of the vehicle to the Vehicle Health Memo field.
The "Vehicle Memo / Vehicle Health Memo" dialog (Fig.5-8) will be displayed. Confirm the model/year and options, and
make corrections if necessary. Also input the Vehicle Memo and Vehicle Health Memo.
During the scan, the message, Reading vehicle information... Please wait for a moment (Fig.5-9), will be shown. The
OK (1) button will be disabled and it will not be possible to close the "Vehicle Memo / Vehicle Health Memo" dialog.
The OK button (Fig.5-10, (2)) will be enabled on completion of the scan. Press the OK button to save the input
contents.

If you manually input a VIN to the SDT-II, the VIN can be written to the vehicle ECU. Then this VIN will be
read out automatically at future diagnosis sessions.
The following confirmation dialog (Fig.5-11) will be shown just before the writing the VIN to ECU. To write the VIN, click
the OK button (1). If you do not wish to write the VIN, click the Skip button (2).
The VIN writing result will be shown with dialogs (Fig.5-12 or Fig.5-13). Click the OK button to continue. VIN writing
may not succeed in some cases depending on the vehicle.
You can NOT write a VIN to the ECU if the engine is running. You must stop the engine, turn the ignition ON, and re-
initiate the VIN writing procedure.

If communication with an ECM was not established or the ECM was not recognized, you may choose the
model manually. The Model Selection dialog will be shown during scanning.
The selection options will be requested step by step. In the following case (Fig.5-14 and Fig.5-15), the selection of the
destination was requested first. Then the selection of model was requested.
Select an appropriate option from each dialog. The OK button (1) is enabled after all selections are made.
