Did you check for B+ voltage at the wires connected to the alternator ? Could have a blown fuse or fusible link . Go to http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams . Fill in your vehicle info .under system click on engine then under subsystem click on charging system . Look at diagram to see which wire has power an what fuse powers it etc. There are some good videos on youtube on checking charging system .

Look in your car's owner's manual (in the glove compartment) to see what the light means and it should tell you what to do or what not to do.

Take the car and test the brakes and make sure that the ESP and ABS is working correctly. The safe way is to do it on an proper test track and make sure your car is safe. The next step is then to check all the sensors, brake pads and ABS sensors.
Don't take short cut with this and make sure your car is safe. Good luck and stay safe.

Nothing. It is not a problem.

why ask this with not 1 symptom posted. MINE HAS 4 Ect ,engne a/c overheat dash gauge, transmission overheat sensor. nor can i guess your engine, my guess,the 2.7L engines, H27 is suz, real name. knowing that one fact you google that all day common in usa GV, not else where, lots more... here most of these parts for engine. http://www.fixkick.com/engine/2.5L%202004%20Tracker/25L-2004-engine.pdf ECT,is located seen above. on the rear of engine the bank 1 to bank 2 cross pipe. its there. measures true engine coolant temperaturs, ECT if it reads too hot with scan tool its not bad its the thermostat bad, only rarely does the ever fail.....in truth. why not post symptoms and not guess. parts

working right means zero we know that, or you;d not be here, LOL ! the car has an automatic, mines 5speed stick i sold min, suzuki is dead car company here ..... my wild wild guess charge system died battery died driving, as all do ,like that then instead of changing it ,you bought a new battery and not this repeats. what is the problem,, charge system failure why not charge the battery drive to any shop and get it fixed correctly

what year???? lost your spare, car came new with 2 keys, never not have 2 keys, or pay the piper.. no year car stated, so that means nobody can wax accurate. just made 3 key for my , new jeep yesterday. (proactive) 2 pods and 1 full, my 04 (sold) GV, only one key can be programmed at a time. but has no IMMO on car, only the door locks are dead on my spare. the operators guide (lost that?) tells you how to get the fob programmed all by your self. the key , any lock smith in earth can cut you a new one. but house calls or road trips are more money. to cure that. GV are sold all over the world. 1999 to now. we cant guess that either and some have Immobilizers.. cant guess that either...

nice double same posts.

no year vitara,, are we to guess year and the engine you have. 1988 to 2013 (chapter 11 failed here in USA sales ended) gas or diesel? GAS: in the USA (are you) the G16 and J20 and H25 engines top the list as most common, there are like 10 engines used world wide. so we go to generic engine 101 answers. The run on deal, is serious , because fuel and spark are cut key off, on all EFI cars. then dont run on. well if not a diesel is it a diesel? rev'ing past 3000 on a gas engine takes 3 things. 1: a GOOD ENGINE, compression good, and cam belt not slippled. 2: On gas engines good spark. and timed right (is yours?) 3: good fueling. an engine that that is misfiring will have limited power and thus RPM. or if limited fuel injections same. there are tests for each case, no engine or year stated, i pass on a guess.

you cant drive car? how can you drive lacking a key.? ? the windows get power from the Ignition switch. that is first. step, turn on the key and the electric windows work. do all windows fail, keyon, from all the many switches in car. left and right>? is car 4 doors, or 2.

wow no year car stated.. ouch. no country either...sad.. under the thermostat housing LOL, SORRY ! on the hose that (big) that gets hot first goes right to it. what engine 1.9-litre turbodiesel engines from PSA, built in Spain by Santana Motors or the Peugeot.? depends or country and year what engine is used and IS and engine question. 2.0-litre HDI engines from PSA PSA - Peugeot and Citro?n. RHZ engine or the F9 diesel>? Renault i give up, lacking year or country.. impossible...

no year,, now how can I get the pages for you lacking the year.(that be the first question or VIN)Guessing year 2000 for you.ah the 2.5L, and you dont have the bookhttps://suzukipitstopplus.com/Products/1194-2002-vitara-grand-vitara-service-manual.aspxdo i need.?well all the steps are in the FSM and here vast times.here we go 1 more time.the pump on this engine the H25 it is, is not most hard of most.really the first question is how to get to it.page 22 answers that, (and page 4)to remove front cover , the valve covers bolt to it so...http://www.fixkick.com/engine/2.5L%202004%20Tracker/25L-2004-engine.pdfyou can maybe take off that front cover with the VC in place bolts on front VC off,but how would you put it back> sandwiched between pan and VC it is.TIGHT.so then it leaks, like made. sure would.4 lousy bucks to read the manual (wild guess on year)https://suzukipitstopplus.com/Products/10218-2000-vitara-grand-vitara-service-manual.aspxread all steps.? im not typing all 50 steps. sorry.and then ask questions, and winits not trival doing this job at all, getting to not leak is hard.takes planning and patience.excerpts (key)step 4 (fsm) water pump.section service.remove chain cover. turn to page for that and it states.page 1d-17 (chain access & pump)step 4, remove throttle body, intake man. (see pages there)step 5: remove cylinder head covers (VC) valve covers.6: fan off7: rad off8: thermostat cap off,9: displace (move) p/s pump and compressor. tie backs.10:drain oil (water was gone back in pump section.11:remove oil pan, some skip this step. (ask why)the photos showing why all this is necessary?, look at each photo. in the pdf above.12 remove crank pulley with tool13: ckp off.14: cover off , Chain cover off.i have the FSM in paper, and PDF.so... can answer all steps and more.id say, one of the 2 things need to be offVC or pan.see why? (the rule of sandwich and sealing it up after)id bet the pan off, is not in the cards,,,,, leaving VC off x2.but the book is clear. and many folks do leave the pan on,but try to keep the antifreeze out of the pan, using plastic sheets or? I like to do rag stuffing here., tight.... (AF on oil are nasty when mixed)avoid that...see page 22 above... its very clear ...

the automatic transmission? (only gear word used, means zero) so check levels yet, of there is no dip tube, you need to get a mech to do this, (or read the FSM chapter on topic , ) i cant figure out the symptoms above. but get the car checked, seems best. or elaborate more clearly. the symptoms.// if IN drive, how would you use a higher gear. this is perplexing ?

Check fuses first. Since it say which system pull and check them all. When you pull them, this takes care of corrosion problem. A test light doesn't.

If it's a 2.0 it'll be on the back of the cylinder head on the intake side, sort of between the engine and the firewall - it is a single unit with two separate and independent sensors, one for the dash guage, the other for the ECU.

Is the vehicle equipped with an add on alarm/door lock opener or is everything factory? If add on, suspect the remote start/alarm module as the failure. If factory, try disconnecting the battery and reconnecting
