Warning lights – Wagon R

What each light in the meter means, how serious it is, and what to do. Most lights come on for a few seconds when you turn the key to ON — that is a bulb check and is normal.

Not on this car

No temperature warning light: the Wagon R has a temperature gauge. Most Pakistani Wagon Rs do not have ESP or tyre-pressure (TPMS) lights.

Scanner guide

Scanner guide: Wagon R

The Wagon R needs the right tool: cheap phone dongles often do not work on Pak Suzukis.

ELM327 v1.5 (PIC18F25K80 chip) or Vgate iCar Pro + SZ Viewer app
Often works

Best phone option for Pak Suzukis. Get SZ Viewer only from Google Play or malykh.com.

Workshop with a multi-brand scanner (Launch, ThinkCar, Enercon)
Works best

Good auto electricians in Pakistan scan these cars every day. Easiest choice.

Cheap ELM327 "v2.1" clone + Torque / Car Scanner
Usually fails

Pairs with the phone but often cannot talk to the Suzuki engine computer.

Where is the socket: Under the steering column / dashboard.

What it can read:

  • Engine (check-engine light) fault codes.

Good to know:

  • The Wagon R scans more reliably than the Mehran, but use SZ Viewer or a workshop scanner.
  • No scanner needed for the oil, battery or handbrake light: they come from a simple switch or sensor. Check the oil level, drive belt / battery terminals and brake fluid first.
