2007 Suzuki XL-7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity. Question moved to model category. https://www.google.com/search?q=Suzuki+XL7+code+P1693 Turbo issue, but because of the crank no start, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose that part. https://www.google.com/search?q=Suzuki+XL7+crank+no+start https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me

With my 2007 XL-7, it would reset like the manual said until 30,000 miles. Today I took it to a repair shop to have the oil changed. They wrote the following instructions that reset mine today. 1. Press information button until 'oil life' is displayed. 2. Tap check mark two times and hold it on the third tap. Good luck!!

op why not post symptoms first and not a barrage of parts. must we decode that to a symptom,. kinda hard right. I will not guess. what is wrong, nor what is not working on your car. now what fans you are talking about, up to 4 fans on cars. cab blower fan (wild guess blower is ok) and so is HVAC, ? radiator fans Condenser fan. my wild guess to , engine over heats????????? if yes, the scan it first. no not last FIRST. it dont work like you think its not a 1988 Samurai. sorry, on modern cars, they got smarter, the engine goes gee the PCM knows water temp why have a fan temp regulator. hark , now it dont. (saves cash on useless parts) but has a relay , (well until you have my car and the relay is now 100% electronic, called a huge transistor) we've used this tech in industry for years, but car makers just learning how still. i digress. but evolution and history helps diagnosis. what is there? Ill look for you, ive posted this 100s of times the book is 4 bucks to see online. the real deal lets look now. XL-7 (the dash matters big time) answering for , overheats engine, and fans on RAD dead. (some are staged, PCM brains... now. and also chain ops based on if A/C is on or not) facts. first I see 2 fans... ok. the next page shows nice block diagram of the fan system yup, NOT Simple. ill post those words for you. "The engine cooling fan system consists of 2 electrical cooling fans and 3 fan relays. The relays are arranged in a series/parallel configuration that allows the engine control module (ECM) to operate both fans together at low or high speeds. The cooling fans receive positive voltage from the cooling fan relays which receive battery positive voltage from the underhood fuse block. During low speed operation, the ECM supplies the ground path for the low speed cooling fan relay which is fan 1 relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the low speed fan relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and supplies battery positive voltage from the fan 1 fuse through the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the left cooling fan. The ground path for the left cooling fan is through the series/parallel relay which is fan 2 relay, and the right cooling fan. The result is a series circuit with both fans running at low speed. During high speed operation the ECM supplies the ground path for the low speed fan relay through the low speed cooling fan relay control circuit. The ECM grounds the high speed fan relay, which is fan 3 relay, and the series/parallel relay, which is fan 2 relay through the high speed cooling fan relay control circuit. This energizes the series/parallel relay coil, closes the relay contacts, and provides a ground path for the left cooling fan. At the same time the high speed fan relay coil is energized closing the relay contacts and provides battery positive voltage from the fan 2 fuse 1 on the cooling fan motor supply voltage circuit to the right cooling fan. During high speed fan operation, both engine cooling fans have their own ground path. The result is a parallel circuit with both fans running at high speed. When the request for fan activation is withdrawn, the fan may not turn OFF until the ignition switch is moved to the OFF position or the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 16 km/h (10 mph). This is to prevent a fan from cycling ON and OFF excessively at idle. end quote. i bet you didnt scan it , like 99.9 % of all posters here dont. DTC Descriptors DTC P0480: Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit DTC P0481: Cooling Fan Relay 2 Control Circuit DTC P0691: Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit Low Voltage DTC P0692: Cooling Fan Relay 1 Control Circuit High Voltage DTC P0693: Cooling Fan Relay 2 Control Circuit Low Voltage DTC P0694: Cooling Fan Relay 2 Control Circuit High Voltage Diagnostic Fault Information is the ECT showing overheat, yes no? if yes, it must operate a fan or 2. the book even covers all tests for fans dead, in a large truth table. both the FSM and alldata.com have that, its no secret ,its published in 4 major places. lets back up if the engine coolant is low (no that side tank the engine and rad) the ECT will lie. if that happens the fans may not come one that is because the ECT is useless measuring air, for water. that water must touch ECT for ECT to work. this is FIRST then scan the ECT does it show overheating, IT must if it IS overheating. fix that next if it lies to you,(IR gun in hand) The system has staged fans. i cant find the trip points in my crappyy online pages. but is like 225f then 250f trips. is my guess... about. if the engine over heats, check fuses first then scan it. it will simply tell you why its bad. eg, fan1 output dead. or if you hot wire a fan and its dead, then it is. (only on cars with non modulated fans,,hot wire them,else not.) now the link to the 4 buck real book. the non dash XL7 (my guess) you this pick yourself... cant see car. https://suzukipitstopplus.com/Products/10182-2007-xl7-service-manual.aspx this is how it really works the ECU has software that decide trip points for fans. hard coded, this is. based on how hot it is and if A/C is on not. its way smarter than 1988 and better. the DTC errors can see an open line, shorted to ground or stuck 12v.(runs all time error) (tells you relay is good or not) no scanner no joy , sorry, tis a fact.....

very easy just go to reliable-stor e it has all manuals there many other websites also but in this matter this website is too good

You have several issues. The not starting after fill up is an evaporative emissions issue. See the post below. The starter continuing to crank the engine after you release the key is a stuck starter drive http://ricksfreeautorepairadvice.com/evaporative-emissions-system-primer/

Check if the power steering pump is working well.

Maybe lights are on or parking brake not set. hope this helps.

Some blend doors operate by cable some by vacume and some electrical. Feed google with make model and year, and state the problem. You will find the answers your looking for. Good luck.

You will need them to check the power and earth connections to the ccm to make sure it is powering up. Loss of coms to one module only is often a blown fuse or bad wiring.

run the fault codes to find the sensor problems

What are the fault codes you read.

the cold from hell,, CAT monitor. know it well, too well. no its not that. the code tells that engine has a lazy or dead cat. no engine stated. its and XL-7 not and XL7, they are different cars. 3.6L V6 bank one is failing the person who told you bank 2 is full of beans. "Catalyst Efficiency Below Normal (Bank 1)" SM quote. we change the front B1S1 front sensor first. then the B1S2, sensor next. then the CAT if sure no exhaust leaks are on Bank1. S1 is front S2 is rear bank 1, is cylinder 1 side bank 1 is,, right bank, usa is passenger side look for leaks first in exhuast then bad 02s, on right side , damage to wires. the new sensors. then new cat, $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ last

post 3 and still not one photo or word,as to what information is missing? and then 3 ,postsMy Cluster DIC is dead. is true name.driver info center display.does not working mean DEADas this display shows 100s of data.the operators guide on this,seems endless......so DEAD is clear.more clearis it dead,with head lamps on>?why not check fuses firstthen scan it,2nd.say thiswhy x,y.z are dead"speedo, fuel, radio, nav, data, or waring lamps dead or, or orwe cant guess what you can not see!see?im reading the book on your are sayingthe DIC is dead.?driver information center=DICit clearly states "instrument cluster"if that is totally dead (vast data there possible)it can be.1; fuse blown to it.2:it;s bad3: communication to it lost, network issues.it is a pure,data displayas all such devices need this. to function.1; power2:good data.not scanning it now, is hopeless.OBD2 scan tool , any. use it ,scan it and win.does this display glow if head lamps are turned on.? .

My Cluster DIC is dead. is true name.driver info center display.no, and yespost 2 by Uits just a data displayall brain boxes in the car talk to it onan networkwhy not elaborate what the DIC display doesits totally deadfuses.why not add to one post and not do 3 ,on 1 topic.?

my Cluster DIC is dead. is true name.driver info center display.No, and yespost 2 by Uits just a data displayall brain boxes in the car talk to it onan networkwhy not elaborate what the DIC display doesits totally deadfuses.ever use a desk top computersame answer for the DT displayit sees the whole world of thingsits just a display brain.it gets vasts amounts of data from all brains in carit even computes, MPG, from live dataand tire pressures. endless,complexity here.it's just a data display.fuses,first did i say fuses yet?and #2 scan itbuy a scannerrent onebarrow oneor do like 99.9% do today get your shop to do that.

may be the turn signal switch itself, also an electrical short.The two may be connected. (switch causing both problems?)

Usually, disconnecting the battery for more than half an hour will reset almost all computers. It will then have to go through a "re-learn" cycle. You'll use more gas until it does that and it may not run quite right.
