I have a Suzuki Swift 1,3 benzin engine. Its a few years old, and until now has work without any real problems. Today it started flashing the emergency lights when I parked it and turned off the engine (but not when the engine was running. I whent through everything I could think of but to no avail (and now the battery is flat :-)). How do I fix this anaying problem?

you are posted to a USA forum so answers on Cino are limited.
Cino smacks of Australia. join a suzuki forum there? and win?

what country, the book varies by country and engines.
some countries dont have your engine ,so is skipped.
Free now that is a tall order, and your time on google , is not going to be my time.... not ever.

here is OUR swift, and will not be correct for yours.

nice double post. and still no engine stated, nor country.
which engine,
5 engines world wide, this forum is USA forum
the enhanced 1.6L VVT? m16
you do know that many suzuki engines the covers and pan
are bolted on after a full RTV silicon gasket squirted on .
then cured, right? its it he FSM , ever seen a real FSM
a real suzuki factory service manual, sold at, "SUZUKI"???

is this what you have, now that you said VVT?
In October 2005, Suzuki launched the Sport version of the new Swift in Japan named SwiftRS, and in September 2006 the model was introduced in most European markets. Named "Swift Sport", it is powered by an enhanced M16A unit, a high-revving 1.6-litre, naturally aspirated DOHC VVT four-cylinder engine with an 11.1:1 compression ratio, high lift cams, forged pistons, and strengthened valve springs.

have look at this web page from forum
Crank Position Sensor Location Suzuki Forums Suzuki Forum Site

Please ask a local mechanic too have a look in this case as it could be anything and i couldnt advise without having the engine in front of me .sorry for indecisive answer but modern day vehicles have so many electronic sensors that from afar i just couldnt tell you and to admit i know everything about every make and model on the road would be detrimental to my charecter,iam the original back street cowboy i admit but i will fix things that other garages want a fortune to do as they renew all the parts so something must work ,ME i take them apart and test and try to repair but in this i get called a cowboy,but many years ago when i worked in fleet commercials then if you didnt repair things you were put out in the street as proper mechanics repaired things.Compared to today

manual trans?
no year, so my guess it a very old swift, with a 5 speed MT box.?
well are you parked, or not.
are you moving or not
is the engine running?
and do all gears work moving , ? or not.?

there are 3 fails paths on all M/T
1: clutch
2: shifters do fail easy on suz, cars.
3: tranny
we can diagnose any, just give full symptoms

no year stated, but old cars have vast problems.
most are ignored by prev. owners.
here is your manual. cheap. and online.

you can buy a real suz swift FSM on ebay , at any time, dirt cheap.
yes, it had a cat and need one.
on old cars its best to.
1: make sure the brakes are A+ top shape, have and ASE mech test it.
2: make sure there are no gas leaks, ASE mechanic.
3: replace all fluids, and do the 60,000 mile tuneup in the FSM or op. guide.
4: then test the system. runs , shifts,etc.
is the CEL lamp glowing key on, it must
and does it go off , after engine starts and stay off running?
that is the global view.

old post, but Ill answer for others. with same issue, belts.
Timing.
no country stated. so.... ?
what engine.? there are 56, and many cars have 8 engines used
on one brand car.

I live in the USA< and go to to any store that sells GATES belts.
Napa is my best store,
and GATES has a full kit ,with the best belt and a new idler.
