SZ Viewer: read DTC for Suzuki

The SZ Viewer A1 application is specifically designed for Suzuki vehicles, utilizing a combination of proprietary protocols via K-Line and CAN bus, along with standard OBDII protocols. This powerful tool enables users to read and reset Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), including both extended and historical codes, from a wide range of Suzuki control modules.

One of the standout features of SZ Viewer A1 is its compatibility with Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) Suzuki vehicles, even those that do not adhere to OBDII standards. This makes it an invaluable tool for Suzuki enthusiasts and professionals alike, regardless of the vehicle's origin.

To use SZ Viewer A1, an ELM327 adapter with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity is required, specifically version 1.3 or later. It's crucial to note that counterfeit ELM327 adapters, such as those labeled as version 2.1 and some version 1.5 models, are not compatible with this application due to their inability to support the necessary ELM327 commands.

However, it's important to be aware of the limitations of this tool. SZ Viewer A1 does not support the older SDL protocol used in pre-2000 model year Suzuki vehicles, which operates at 5V levels and uses pin #9 of the OBDII connector. This is due to physical incompatibilities with the ELM327 adapter.

With SZ Viewer A1, users can access and reset DTC errors across various Suzuki control modules, including but not limited to: powertrain, engine, automatic transmission/continuously variable transmission (AT/CVT), anti-lock braking system/electronic stability program (ABS/ESP), supplemental restraint system (SRS), air conditioning/heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (AC/HVAC), body control module (BCM), power steering (PS), electronic modulation control device/four-wheel drive/auto hill descent (EMCD/4WD/AHL), and tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS). Keep in mind that not all these modules may be present in every Suzuki vehicle.

When using SZ Viewer A1 to diagnose HVAC-related issues, you might encounter DTCs like B1504 or B150A. These codes may appear due to insufficient illumination of the sunload sensor during the diagnostic procedure. It's important to understand that these codes do not necessarily indicate a malfunction of the sunload sensor itself.
