No NOT the ODB connector, the service connector.Jimnyz wrote: Hi Martin. Regarding your post about disabling ESC (ESP?) manually. It sounds like a good idea for gravel roads and beaches where you might be above 30km/h but don't want the Jimny to be losing momentum.
Are you referring to the OBD connector, and is it a momentary connection between pins or does it need to be held shorted?
Cheers, Mike

ESP OFF/ON: Brief press - disable/enable stability and traction control
ESP LONG PRESS when in 4WD LOW - Turns off Hill Descent control
4WD LOW - ESP is automatically turned off.
SPEED above 30MPH - ESP turns back on automatically even if disabled.
Slight correction... ESP LONG PRESS when in 4WD LOW - Turns off Hill Hold

My weekly Resting Voltage Readings have been stable since changing the oil and are above the voltage readings taken when using a 5W30 oil.
Conclusion, thinner oil is what the motor needs and it responds accordingly!

The charging circuit is turned down to reduce engine load when it detects the engine is working hard, this is a function of the LIM circuit.
GeorgeC travels very short trips, his battery doesn't charge properly for some reason. Looking at the alternator volts, the alternator is rarely turned on. Either there is a fault in the circuit (I think there is a possible load sensor issue) or the car is working normally, it is just sensing the engine is loaded.
By turning off the Aircon this disconnects the compressor clutch and this has improved things. Equally, what GeorgeC is talking about here is changing the oil back to the Suzuki recommended thinner oil 0w/20 which the official manual says "Improves starting". Suzuki Australia seem to replace the oil on initial delivery with thicker oil. Again since changing to thinner oil the charging seems to improve.

As for starting a hot engine, unless you are in a very cold climate (below about -20c) it won't make any difference then either.
