welcome to AZ scottmcguinness172

it could be a number of things that's caused the CEL (check engine light) or MIL (malfuction indicator light) to come on under those conditions, one of the most common causes is a lazy o2 sensor.

to retrieve the error codes from the ecu, you need to make a suzuki special tool, the diagnostic tool numberis #564425681687934... :lol:

mine is made from some thin wire & covered in electrical tape & heat shrink. 8)

attached is a word document explaining how to retrieve the error codes. let us know how you get on with the codes, there is a universal o2 sensor that can be used for about $100 or a genuine one at around $330.

There's 2 on the J20s?

Mine went on the G16B - got CEL after a few minutes at 100kmh. Easy to replace and hasn't happened since.

I'm not saying you should do that, but I would.... :lol:

If the knock was buggered it would ping under heavy acceleration...

It's not pinging or anything it hasn't thrown codes since I done the oxy sensors so I have no idea of what to do now
