This is the final video of this series and I hope you enjoyed them and thanks for watching!
Hi S-man: My dad was a master mechanic back here in Massachusetts. Needless to say everything I know about cars is attributable to him - and guys like you. He's gone now and I can't begin to tell you how often I wish he was around to help me out - particularly with the 08 Forenza TRSensor. After watching your video I'm about to tackle this baby by myself. He'd have wanted it that way. Follow the steps and it looks pretty reasonable to complete - thank goodness Suzuki is out of business now. My dad would have been happy to know that as well. Thanks again.
Excellent help and will be installing this neutral safety switch myself after purchasing the part and the tool. Heads up your link is no longer valid (well it is a few years old) but if you enter the part number seen on the tool with "suzuki" first, it will come up on search with Freedom Racing. QUESTION: My 2006 Forenza has never been free of airbag light issues on the dash since the car was purchased new. When under warranty, the dealer constantly checked the pin connections and replaced the harness twice, along with the passenger sensor where the seat foam was a service bulletin. When the warranty was over and the dealers eventually went away with Suzuki being sold in America, there's the main airbag light again which is maddening at only 70k mileage. If you have any ideas here, it would be greatly appreciated! This youtube is a few years old, but seeing recent comments being answered gives me assurance you're still reviewing comments. Thanks again for the great detailed replacement vid here!
Thanks for the heads up on the bad link. In fact, all of them are invalid except for the suzuki forum. I've removed the invalid links from the description. As for the tool, you may have a hard time finding it and even back then it was $85. I wouldn't even bother finding it and even if you could, it would probably be even more money. As I mentioned in the video, put the bolts of the transmission range sensor in the center of the slots. That should be close enough for the adjustment of the sensor. That's where the bolts were went I used the tool. I remember people having an issue with the passenger air bag sensor. And it seems from doing a search that there isn't a definitive answer to this issue even today. I never experienced this issue, but if I had, I would have diagnosed this issue and posted a video.
You are correct that the dealerships dried up in North America and parts were getting difficult to find. And that is the reason that I got rid of this car years ago. Good luck on your repair Eric and hope you have a great day!
Can you believe the transmission rage sensor is bad again (replaced it in 2006). Ordered another one (was $2.74 more than last time). This will be the third time replacing this switch.The dealer replaced it in 2008 under warranty), me in 2016 and now. Maybe I should have ordered a few of them (LOL). Glad you still have this video up. Thanks.
At least you know how to replace it and save yourself some money. Yes, it's a common issue with this car for sure. Have a great weekend!
My niece's Forenza is down & she wants her Uncle Brandon to the rescue. Thanks for this video man. I'm going to tackle this problem this weekend & your video will be at the ready. Likely on my tablet very close by!
Pretty easy job Brandon and good luck on your repair.
Just wanted to say thank you for making me look intelligent when fixing my daughter's forenza. After watching your videos on the timing belt (which ended up being head rebuild), I was able to get her car running again. Then while delivering the car I noticed that the trans had the rough clunk into gear and stuck in high gear. Naturally I looked on your channel to see if you had addressed this issue. So relieved to come across your detailed videos! Thanks again and keep up the great tutorials.
Jeff Baker Glad to hear Jeff that you got it all fixed! 👍
i watch this video yesterday and i had the moral to changed mine all by myself without paying any mechanic. The video is so helpful. Thank you and i appreciate.
Omg thank you so much for the videos...took it to a shop was told it was gonna cost me the whole transmission,greatly appreciate it.
Hi Scott. Glad the videos helped you out and holler out if you have any questions. Take care...
Thanks for all of your Suzuki Forenza videos. My daughter's car has kept me busy with repairs since she bought it and I would not have known where to start without your help on most issues.
You're quite welcome Art and glad to hear the videos have helped you out!
Thank you so much for all your help! Especially with the Suzuki videos! I needed to put this part in! This video helped immensely!!! Thank You!!!! 😊 so much! God Bless You 😇 🙏 🤟
You are quite welcome roxannecab and glad to hear that the videos helped you out :))
Thank you so much! I know this is an older video series, but you just saved me from selling my car for scrap price! I thought my transmission was cooked... Thankfully, all of my car's issues are the exact same for this part. You're a hero! THANK YOU!!
Glad to hear Cory that you got it fixed and saved yourself some money! Have a great day!
My 2008 needs this done. You walk through video seems fairly easy enough for me to replace this myself versus paying a repair shop $150. Thanks!!!
Hi Thomas. It's a pretty easy job and I'm sure that you can handle it with no problem.
This was an excellent video, very detailed and helpful. I did everything just as you said and it worked perfectly!
The only thing i'd like to say is that when i put the new range sensor it took a lot of effort to insert. It takes a lot of patience, you gotta do a lot of small movements to put it right. It also works on the chevrolet Optra, its called pare-neutro here in Venezuela
Thanks a lot!
Otoniel Morales i'm glad the video helped you and you're right that it is a little tough getting the new range sensor onto the shaft.
Thank you solo for the kind comment and I'm glad that you liked the video. I've had lots of practice in teaching others at work while I'm doing something, but sometimes my mouth does get out of sync with what I'm doing LOL. Thanks again solo!
How do you get the specialty tool?
Great walk through video! My company has 6 of these forenza's and im the lucky one to figure out the simple repairs. I was stumped on last night and viewed this video this morning and repaired the range sensor in 10 minutes! Thank you so much. Im sure ill be repairing more soon in the other company cars.
Thanks Derrick and glad to help you out!
This video series helped me a lot with my 2005 Optra, no more shifting to neutral to start my car on declines, and the hard shift when going from reverse to drive seems to have disappeared.
Thanks for the input. I normally do all of the work on my vehicles, but when it comes to transmissions, that's uncharted territory for me! In my way to get it checked!
Yes, I know what you mean and this one is a sealed unit at that.
Thanks for this series. I will be working on this sensor for my Forenza wagon this weekend. I acquired a replacement sensor via Amazon for low cost. I am going to do this without the alignment tool. As you know, the tool is costly, so thanks for that extra hint about the slots lining up in the middle. The reason that I am replacing the sensor has to do with ignition of the engine. As you know, this sensor includes a feature that only permits ignition when the PARK or NEUTRAL position is detected. (A ridiculous feature in my view, but probably serves some purpose). Occasionally, my engine won't start if this detection is confused. I can usually workaround it by turning the key to ON where I can move the position selector through all the positions (with brake engaged) and back to PARK. That always works. However, recently I have also noticed a few other related issues. I can hear that clunk noise when changing positions. Also, while driving at low speeds, I notice the gear shifting slips a little or does not catch quite right, a little sluggish I suppose. So this all seems to point to this range sensor. Wish me luck.
+Eric Thomas Yep, sounds like your range sensor Eric. You've probably got a check engine light to come on with the code P0705. Also, your display for the gear selection should show a diagonal line when the problem occurs. Good luck on getting it done.
I was going through your videos again in the journals for the valves for the Suzuki Forenza I was glad I watch the video again you have to work at plunger in and out mine were pretty crazy I was just going to I soak them soak them and kerosene and then I cleaned them out and fought their good and put them back in I said I better do it again and they're all Frozen I got them to go back and forth now thanks to you you saved me some money I didn't want to kill the vehicle
Glad it all worked out for you Matthew!
Thank you for this video series. I bought the Chiltons online manual and it wouldn't even show me where this sensor was located. This vedo really helped me out.
Always glad to help out Bill and good to hear that the video series was helpful.
yes you did do it in neutral. I have done some reading online and a couple of people said to do it in Park. But, what you said makes more sense. When you said it may be a little snug, it should evently slide on without extreme pressure. Thanks I will give it a try again and let you know how it comes out.
+Vincent Gulisano Good luck...you'll get it!
First off, thanks for posting this video. I have a 2007 Forenza and had to first replace the transmission range sensor in 2010 @ 30k miles. It's gone bad again and I think I can replace it myself after watching your video but yesterday, after I bought the part the dealer noted that "with the vehicle in park turn inner splines all the way to the right before installing". Your instructions are pretty straight forward, it's the dealer note that kinda confused me.
Hi Georgette. When you buy the range sensor, the splines com preset to the neutral position. You can turn the splines to align up with the park position and it will work. The service manual shows the range sensor installed with the gear selector in the neutral position. Either method will work though.
Excellent video and guided instructions, greatly appreciated!
Outstanding 5 part series.Very thorough.I actually think I can do this myself! Thank you stuzman52.
+a gravante It's a pretty easy job. I believe you can do it too!
Hi Stuzman
Thanks again for another great video series. I was able to change the TCM and range sensor on my old 2007 suzuki Reno using your video series. My son is now driving the Reno to college. I don't know if u remember, but about 18 months ago we replaced the head gasket using your videos as well. Please keep sharing your knowledge I have saved about $1,500 plus $$$ thanks to you. Your friend in Florida. Mark.
+tubeitmark Ah yes, I remember you Mark and looks like that Reno is going to have a long life. Always glad to help Mark and glad to save you some bucks. Take care and have a great weekend!
Fantastic video.
Stuzman, you made a very good quality video. No many people make a very detailed video like you did.
I also liked the option that you gave to adjust the sensor for those people that does not have the adjustment tool to do that.
Congratulations.
Thank you very much and glad you liked the video(s). Have a good one!
OK I just replaced this sensor on my daughters car last night. Lining up the flat spots on the spline and sensor was a bit of a sum-bitch! Haha! I replaced it with out the alignment tool. What I did was place a small piece of flat bar square off the alignment tab before I removed the old sensor and made a mark with a sharpie. Repeated the process to align the new sensor. Worked great and the P, R, N, D, 3, 2, 1 lined up perfectly the first time. I can't thank you enough for this video. I don't think I could have done it with out it.
Thanks Bill for sharing your thoughts of what you did to align the sensor. And I'm quite sure that you could have replaced the sensor without the video. Take care Bill....
Thank you so much for your video! You saved us a $200.00 mechanic bill and it worked perfectly and the car runs great!
cshmk1234 Always glad to hear success stories and where people save some money. And you're quite welcomed!
Thanks,great viedo,gained much knowledge.So happy that there are people like you out there.
I just received my transmission range sensor for my 06 forenza thank you for these videos
Wow this is so helpful and detailed. Thank you so much!
Thanks vivilloni and glad to help. Good luck on your repair.
Thank you very much Antegas, and I'm glad that you found the video useful. Take care...
Where the hell was this video when I needed today!! Omg this would have been really helpful!! Thanks
At least you have it now.
Thanks again for your help. We got the part and changed it out on my Suzuki Reno. No more check engine light or jerking in to gear.
Good for you Krista. I'm glad to hear that everything worked out and that your car is running good!
unbelievably accurate,well said and well done. ty you truely saved me hundreds of dollars in labor cost as well as allowing me to perform this task with confidence . again tyvm my wife owes u a debt of gratitude
Always glad to help Hector and glad to hear that you saved some money. And tell your wife she owes me a meal (smiling)...
Thanks Thomas for the comment! Around here, it's always something around here.
Nice. This worked on my Suzuki Verona..same part. The only annoying thing was that the new TRS part I ordered appeared to be set to 1st gear, not neutral. So I just set it accordingly. No problems yet!
Glad to hear that it worked out for and that you were able to catch that yours was first gear. :))
Hi Sheryl. My guess is that the engines are the same. Just pop the hood and take a look and see if the sensor is there as I show in the video.
Video is very well done and helpful. Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I wanted to learn to work on my car on my own so your detailed instructions were very helpful. I replaced my sensor today on my 2007 Suzuki Reno, followed the instructions mostly to a T, although I had some trouble with getting the new sensor on with the switch in the neutral position. I noticed that my new sensor and my old sensor had the flat spot in two different places. I was also replacing my radiator, which I feel went pretty smoothly. However I tried to crank the car once everything was done and nothing happened? My headlights, AC, and radio all worked, however I couldn't even get a click, let alone get it to turn over. I also notice that when I tried switching gears it didn't seem to register being in park, but other than slipping up once or twice it seemed to register every other gear fine. I hope it's not a bother for me to ask what I could have done wrong. I would hate to have to spend unnecessary money taking it to a mechanic.
+tylsforthescars Since the car started before the installation of the tranny switch, you probably don't have it adjusted correctly. There is also a neutral safety switch inside the range sensor which only allows the car to start in Park or Neutral. So, I would relook over the adjustment of it to be sure that it's correct.
+stuzman52 Thank you so much! I popped it off and slid it back on right and it cranked right up!
There you go...I knew you could get it!
thanks for everything man he did say about a wiring problem first he just never worked on a Suzuki before and it seems like it's just problem after problem the guys really helping me with this car he's not charging me what he would normally charge people do this job and he's helping me out a lot cuz he knows I'm struggling so I'm trying to get as much information as I can I really appreciate your help
Even though your friend hasn't worked on a Suzuki, he should be able to figure it out when he has the information on the car as all of the different makes and models pretty much work the same. I'm sure that he find your issue and get you going again :) Have a good one!
Thnx you do the same
Deoxit is good stuff! I've used it on my antique radio knobs dials. It works amazing! Great for scratchy faders or any kind of contacts. Best on the market in my opinion.
You are correct Jack and I've used it also for the same thing. Good stuff as you've mentioned.
thank you for taking the time to make these videos and share your knowledge
John Brown You're welcomed John and glad to help out!
Great video! Took me about an hour to replace mine. Thanks again for the video!
Denis Pechenykh You’re quite welcome!
Thanks a lot for the video, you just saved me a lot of money.
You're quite welcome Gianni!
Great video as always. I know I have issues with the transmission ramming I to 2nd gear occasionally but not all the time. Based on a lot of issues with transmission this is a common repair.
Gregory Rooker yes Gregory it's a common issue on these cars.
Thanks James and glad to help out.
You're welcomed. There isn't a PCV valve on the Forenza. It is nothing more than a calibrated orifice inside the valve cover. To check for vacuum leaks, you could use propane while the car is running, carburetor spray (be very careful, flammable) or the best is a smoke machine. Do search on UA-cam for finding vacuum leaks.
Very much needed video thank you
Hope the video(s) help you out Nasrullah!
Thanks bro....i did it so fast, and it worked great, fixed the problem completely.... u r the mannnn...
Glad to help you Carlos. Take care...
Another great group of video's! I was wondering if you have changed the transmission fluid on this car yet? I can't find any videos on changing the fluid on this model. Any suggestions on changing it would be welcomed. Thank you, Brad.
Yes, I bought a new sensor. I guess I will keep playing with the adjustment until I get it right. Like I said, its basically working just needs that fine tuning, Thanks so much..
Thank for sharing this video. You helped me to unsdestrand that removal and installation of Sensor Park/Neutral.
Thank you David for dropping in and sharing a comment!
This video was very informative thank you this helped me a lot.
Always glad to help JP and glad to hear that the video helped you out.
Very good video and thorough. I recently replaced the transmission range sensor as shown in the video on my 06 suzuki. I had an engine light and the car didnt have any power. Scan the car and came out to be a bad faulty transmission range sensor, however, after i replaced it, few days later the car wouldnt start on park. Starts in neutral but other times it does starts on park. It only happens sometimes. Never had this problem. Any suggestions on what went wrong. I will appreciate any feedback. No engine codes or anything now. Seems that one problem got fixed but now another problem came out.
The most likely cause is that the sensor is a little bit out of adjustment. Just be sure that the mounting bolts for the range sensor are in the center of its slots. That should be close enough for an adjustment.
Thanks Joe. When I get started on that Jetta again, I might start my ranting again (grinning).
Thanks. You helped me with my Chevrolet Nubira 1.8. Greetings from Poland:).
+strowger79 Hey strowger79 and glad to hear that everything worked out. Thanks for taking the time to drop in and share your thoughts.
+stuzman52 got part installed but can't get bottom bolt to screw in... I am turning it the right way.
+Darlesha Jackson If you know the bolt threads are okay and the internal threads are okay, then the bolt should screw in. If that's all okay, maybe let someone else try to screw it in as it's in a somewhat awkward position.
+stuzman52 I got it. had to do the bottom bolt first. part wasn't lined up with the hole.
Glad to hear that you got it all figured out!
I like the video. Very detailed and very informative. I have a 2007 Suzuki Forenza, when on drive from stop to acceleration the transmission kicks in late, about 2000 rpms. Codes P0700 P0783 P0734 P0722 come out on the scanner. What to do?
You've got several codes there Gregorio, but the one that would interest me the most and what I would focus on is the P0722. This is saying that the TCM is not receiving a signal from the output speed sensor. This should be a two wire sensor generating an AC voltage. When you don't have this signal, then you could get those other codes also. If you don't have the service information, wiring diagrams or other pertinent information I would let a mechanic do the work. If you do have the information and equipment for electrical diagnostics, focus on this sensor first. Good luck with your repair!
Hello Stuzman - Very grateful for your videos. They were VERY helpful when I replaced the head gasket in my 07 Reno. Here's my question: My backup lights are not working. The range sensor indicates all gear positions properly on the dash cluster. I confirmed that the bulbs are good and there is no voltage to the sockets when in reverse. The online manual is a little confusing. Are the backup lights controlled through range indicator switch? About a month ago, I noticed difficulty going into reverse. I ran it through all the gears and problem went away. But from that point until today, I have no backup lights. The car has 146,000 miles.
Hey Scott! Looking over the wiring diagram, the backup lights runs through a separate switch inside the transmission range sensor. The two pins of concern are inside the sensor which are pin 7 which should be a pink wire and pin 8 which should be a light green wire. Pin 7 comes from a fuse, (F20 - 10A) which you may want to check first. The wire on pin 8 runs out to the lights. There are a few connectors that runs in this circuit, but I would check the fuse first and then with a test light, be sure that you have voltage to pin 7 and with the tranny in reverse, you should have voltage on pin 8 of the range sensor. Good luck on the troubleshooting!
@@stuzman52 Hey Terry - Thanks for your help. I bought the new range sensor switch and replaced it today. Back-up lights are working again and the range sensor is fine. I'd like to take a minute to say that I believe these cars have gotten a bum rap. I believe so many of them went to the junk yard because of the DexCool coolant they came with from the factory. The coolant didn't protect the head from corrosion and they often blew the head gasket. I knew the oil had been changed faithfully in my car and it NEVER burned a drop of oil between changes. So when the head gasket blew, I milled the head and put on a new gasket. That gasket only lasted 34,000 miles. This time, the corrosion was too deep to mill the head. Since I knew the lower half of the engine was good...I bought a brand new cylinder head and flushed out all the old DexCool before installing the new head. I put conventional (glycol) coolant in it...and the car has not missed a beat in 50+K miles. (it now has 165,000 miles...not 146K as previously noted) These are good motors but were cursed by that crappy coolant. Their other weakness was the EGR. It was prone to leaking. However, these are just another version of GM's Ecotech engine. It has a cast iron block. So, if folks take care of them, keep the oil changed and put the right coolant in them...they can remain long-lasting cars. So...all of this is just to say thanks for providing so much valuable information for these orphaned cars. Keep up the good work!!
@@Scott6459 Thank you Scott for your experiences with your vehicle as I'm sure that the information can help other folks out there. Always glad to help and that the range sensor fixed your issue. Have a great weekend coming up!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!
DO YOU A VIDEO IN THE SAME CAR BUT CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID?
Hi Sergio. Sorry to say, but I sold the vehicle along with the service manuals back in February. It's not that big a deal on changing the fluid though. Here's a link to a free service manual that tells you the procedure. The link will say "Daewoo Service Manual" in the first posting. Also while you're at the Suzuki forum, feel free to browse others postings or even post some questions if you like. www.suzuki-forums.com/suzuki-forenza-reno-forum/78338-free-service-manual-suzuki-forenza.html
Your video was very helpful thank you so much
Glad it was helpful Gail!
thank you I'll be tackling it tomorrow .
Thanks for the videos. You are the man, brother.
Hi Jim. Glad you liked the videos. Just remember, I'm just A man, not THE man.
This is super detailed!
Thank You!
Thank you very much Blaze!
any videos on replacing the radiator on this forenza . replaced the sensor and worked perfect but unfortunately bumped the top radiator hose and it broke . thank you in advance.
Hi David... I don't have the car anymore as I sold it about 3 years ago. But changing a radiator is a pretty easy job. Drain the coolant with the petcock on the radiator. If I remember, you have cooling fans on this car, so remove them at usually two bolts at the top for the radiator. Look it over and you should be able to see what's needed to get it out.
Hi again: I'm about to install a new TRS for Forenza. The check engine light is on. I'm wondering if the computer will have to be reset, will the light go out automatically after replacing the part or will simply disconnecting the battery for a while turn the light off? Thanks, Mike
Hi mr. Struzman, excelent videos, solo que hubiese sido interesante mostrarnos las waveforms after de reemplazar el transmission range switch. thank you for the videos.
+Andres Giorgio Yes, I thought about it Andres, but with most people they couldn't really care less about waveforms. People really just want to know how to change a part. Take a look at the number of views on this video compared to the diagnostic videos. The waveform looked the same except it didn't have those big dropouts as before. Thanks for the comments...
Hi, where can we get the DW260-050 tool from?
this video helped but i need help replacing a transmission control module or is it just plug and go ?
The module is located under the dash on the left hand side and is held in by a couple of plastic tabs. I show the module in this video ua-cam.com/video/qT1pSxGyshU/v-deo.html and around timeline 3:45.
Hi Estuardo. From your message, I put it in the translator to come up with English. "I have a problem with my suzuki forenza 2006 is consuming too much fuel and therefore I would like to help to repair salute from Guatemala."
This could be a multitude of different areas to look at. Is your check engine light on? If you have a scanner, take a look at your short and long term fuel trims. Possibilities include O2 sensor, injector(s), vacuum leak, etc. Long list of things that it could be.
Hi, thanks for this, it is extremely helpful.
I'm almost done with my DIY project, but unfortunately I don't have DW260-050 P/N Switch Installer! any recommendation for me to proceed with?? I did little research and understood that tool costs me exactly same as the sensor! Any help would greatly appreciated. Cheers!
Yes, the tool is pretty expensive. Now it runs about $127 which in my opinion is way overpriced. In this video, I mentioned that with the tool the top bolt for the sensor was right in the middle of its slot. In other words, move the sensor so that top slot is right in the middle where the bolt goes. That should be close enough for the adjustment. Good luck on your repair.
suzukipitstopplus is one resource.
I think your video is great. It is very detailed and clear. I just purchased an 07 Suzuki Forenza and the TRS just went bad. I will try to repair it with your video and I hope all goes well. Do you know how long TRS for these cars last? Also, is there another way to adjust the sensor without using the tool DW260?
Thank you lupita for the nice comment. These sensors will probably last a couple of years, although I have heard that some people may get several months. You don't need the tool as I mention in the video, just put the top bolt in the center of the slot and you should be good to go.
stuzman52 Thank you for your response. I have one more question. Is the the tranmission range sensor the same as the neutral safety switch? I'm trying to purchase that part but I haven't had any luck finding it.
Yes, it's sometimes referred to that also. If you remember from one of the videos, four switches are for the transmission, another switch is for the neutral safety switch and there is another switch for the backup lights. So, there's a total of six switches inside.
Thanks a lot for sharing this! just one question, is it necessary to also replace a break switch or sensor? not sure that is the right name of the piece I'm reffering to but I read that if we are replacing the TR sensor a break sensor or switch that it's located inside the car is also needed to be replaced.
Glad to hear Juan that the video was helpful. You're probably talking about the brake switch. If the switch is good, then it's no need to replace this switch. In other words, if you press the brake and you see the brake lights, then your brake switch is good and there is no need to replace it.
@@stuzman52 noted!! again, thanks a lot!!
A question if you don't mind I replaced the sensor in a forenza adjusted it and it worked fine for a month then same issues dash reading funny and hard shifting. I adjusted it again and its just fine for 2 months then same issues. do you think I could have gotten a bad part? or hurt it on install? Do you think I just cant get it adjusted? I am a little frustrated to say the least.thanks for your time.
Excelente, mucha gracias, fue de mucha ayuda para arreglar mi forenza.
Excellent , thanks you so much, it was very helpful to fix my forenza
Glad to hear that you got your Forenza fixed. Also glad to hear that you liked the video(s) and always glad to help. Take care Carlos...
Hey startzman having problems putting that sensor on the transmission range sensor you have any methods that I can use to try to get it back on the spleen
It's quite a snug fit getting that sensor on there. A little bit of lube on the splines might help. Just give it a good push or pull and it will go on.
I got the switch on now having problems trying to line the gears up with the shifter
11:32
"What do you mean I can't find the hole?"
😂
HaHa! Not to worry, I'll always find the hole!
I have a Suzuki spaciya mk42 car this car is not showing gear indicator on dashboard they showing only( -)mark what is the fault
Will the check engine light go off by itself or do I need to have somebody clear it?
Thank you for your help im about to change mine on my reno thank you so much kind sir :)
You're quite welcomed Marcos. Good luck on your repair.
Howdy.
Got a 2005 Suzuki Forenza, gets stuck in 3rd/high gear. Where you gotta press the pedal harder than normal to get it moving. Wondering if you know if it's the range finder or a shift solenoid or something else. It's an automatic..
Travis Gaming First thing is to read the code(s). If you have a P0705 then most likely it’s a tranny range sensor issue which is very common on these cars.
Thanks.This was super helpful!
Thank you and glad the video was helpful!
Oh ok I'm replacing the coil pack and I almost put the wires on wrong. I would have watched the video my internet is very slow at the moment. Thanks for the help
Thank you very much your work is great and soo helpful
You're welcomed!
BTW, Thanks for your help and advice...
When descending from some mountain the car does not reduce gears and 1 and 2 die, so if the car stops at traffic lights, for example, you need a lot of gas to get started, you need to stop pulling the key that the ignition should wait a while and again it is ok Suzuki Forenza 2.0 it may be this sensor of assumed symptoms greet from Poland
Usually with the sensor fault, the transmission will start out in third gear and then shift to fourth. If you have a check engine light on, you could put a scanner on it and see if you have a P0705. That's where I would start.
stuzman
Ok thank you very much, I will check again. Regards from Poland
i watch your video and I have to replace the TRS. It too is an 06 suzuki. I know you no longer have the car, but i thought maybe you can give me a little advice. I am somewhat mechanically inclined, and although this seems like a very simple fix, I am having a problem with it. I purchased a new sensor and when i tried to install it, it did not align exactly with the flat spot, therefore it rounded out the rubber spline. I tried to put the old one on, and i did the same thing. I just purchased another one and before I try again I was wondering if there is anything you can tell me to help me to align the TRS on properly(flat spot). Again, this doesn't seem difficult at all, but I would like to get it right so I dont have to buy a third one. Thanks..
+Vincent Gulisano Shouldn't be that hard Vincent. If I remember from this video of where I install it, I believe that the gear shift selector is in neutral. The reason is because the flat spot on the range sensor would been in this position when you buy the sensor. Hopefully, my memory is correct about that. It may be a little snug sliding on the splines of the input shaft, but that's normal. Make sure that the flat spot lines up with the flat spot on the shaft. Just take your time when installing and don't rush the job.
how can i check the transmission fluid on a 2005 susuki forenza thank you
hey amigo me alegra que me hayas respondido. el problema que tiene mi carro en este momento es que cuando pasa primera velocidad y luego a segunda hace bien los cambios de las revoluciones pero luego pasa a tercera me da como un golpe y al momento me tira como la cuarta y la quinta revolución y queda directo y me queda débil
+JYR Argueta Es difícil de entender lo que estás diciendo que yo estoy usando Google Translate. Pero parece que usted está teniendo problemas de transmisión cuando el transexual se está desplazando . Para un problema dentro de la transmisión , lo siento , pero no puedo ser de mucha ayuda para usted en eso . Además, yo no tengo el manual de servicio o el coche lo vendí tanto de ellos hace unos dos años . Lo siento por no mucho ayudar a mi amigo ...
Thanks for posting this video. Very informative. I like your style.
Thanks Douglas. I appreciate the comments.
Excellent! Video. Thank you very much. I enjoy it a lot: God Bles you
Ok, I've found the problem. One of the bolts that were securing the linkage to the top of the transmission was loose! I've tightened it, but I've found another small problem. The little clip that you remove to get the linkage off has fallen off of the little spindle! Do you know where I can find this clip or if I could use a substitute?
Measure the groove on the spindle with a dial caliper and go to your local automotive store. They should be able to match up a generic c-clip for you.
Gracias por este video realmente me ayudo a reemplazar el sensor de mi suzuky.
¡Eres muy bienvenido!
Hello, I don't have tool and skills to fix the sensor myself. How much it would to fix it in a repair shop? Does the fix resolve the problem for good? Also, if I drive without fixing the sensor what problems I might have?
Since shop prices vary widely across the world, your best bet is to give the shop that you're interested in a call. These range sensors are a problem, but you should get a couple of years out of them. And driving the car with a bad sensor will have high line pressure on the transmission. Also, you will be starting out in 3rd gear instead of 1st which puts a lot more load on your engine. I would get it fixed as soon as possible.
Haveing thesame problem. Very usefully video! Thank you so much! Muchísimas gracias! Blagodaria!
mardy lopez you’re very welcome!
Hi,
Thanks so much for this video!
I am in the UK and cannot find anywhere to buy the special tool. I've searched everywhere for DW260-050 DT-46473 and the Suzuki part number and just cannot find anywhere to buy it.
Do you have any ideas where I might be able to get one?
It will probably be a hard tool to find nowadays. As mentioned in the video, you'll be close enough with the adjustment to put the bolt heads in the center of the slots. That's how it was when I used the tool. I mention it in the video. Thanks for leaving a comment!
Im having a problem fixing the stereo on my suzuki, I have checked the fuse box and nothings wrong ? Any ideas what it mite be ?
Well, it could be several things, but you're going to need a diagram to check things out. Could be the stereo, speakers, connectors, etc. Although it's for a different car, the diagrams are the same for a Suzuki Forenza which matches up to my factory service manual. Here's a link to that manual....

Do you have to buy a new range sensor or you just re a lining the sensor with the clutch ??please
Hi Michael. The tranny range switch sensor shown in this video is only for an automatic transmission. If you have a manual transmission, then you wouldn't have this switch assembly. Not sure what your question would be in regard to a manual transmission if this is what you have.
I have a 04 forenza It won't allow me to take it out of park. Would the trs be the cause of that?. I have to use a metal object and stick it in that slot above the shifter and it would allow me to go in reverse or drive but when it back in park I have to depress that safety release button. What do you think?...
If I remember correctly, there is a solenoid inside the shift assembly that you may want to take at.
Where do you get (buy, borrow etc ... ) the special alignment tool ?
US Patriot Look in the descripiton of this video for the link. The tool now is well over a $100.
Dear Sr (Stuzman52) This is a very good video, it is worth it to watch it. I changed (the mechanic did) this switch, but now I am wondering if they did it correctly, I doubt it. Anyway. I got another code and the mechanic ( A new one) told me that I need to change the transmission control module (TCM) since there is a issue with the communication. Unfortunately, I do not have the exact code that came up. what is this TCM.
I changed this switch because the former mechanic told me that there was a miscommunication with the computer. but now, another mechanic told me that the miscommunication is still giving problems ad now he recommends me to buy a new TCM
Usually Julio you'll get a P0705 for the tranny range sensor. The mechanic is going to need a dedicated scanner to communicate with the TCM. But I assume that both of them has the proper tools. TCM stands for transmission control module. It's a computer located under the left hand side of the dash. If you watch the earlier videos, I did all of my testing at this module. The module is responsible for receiving all inputs for the transmission and controls the solenoids inside the transmission. I can't say that you need the module or not as I'm not there to diagnose it. Sorry Julio....
Oh Sr, do not worry. Indeed, I am very glad you replied pretty fast I'll take a look at the previous videos.
I do hope you get your vehicle taken care of and hopefully the other videos in this series can help you. At least you will get a better understanding of how the system works.
