It should be close to the steering column according to information available in the net. Search on either side of it.

In Vista, it is integrated into the fuse box area. Check there too!

Just check the following:

You will have to find out yourself. Just check the OBD port. Most likely it will be just under the steering wheel, in the part of the dashboard just above the brake/clutch pedals.

1. If it is a 12 pin port, it is definately pre OBD II.
2. If it is a 16 pin port, but has ONLY 3 wires coming out from behind it, its pre OBD II.
3. If it is 16 pin and more than 3 wires, its OBD II with a Suzuki specific customized protocol.

If it is pre OBD II, the protocol in the link I put earlier should work. The 7812 baud rate worked on my Baleno. The transmission rate may or may not work on other pre OBD II Suzuki cars, but if it doesn't, you'll have to try with rates multiples of 7812 .. i.e 15126 etc. There are DIY guides on how to fabricate the circuit for serial comms between a PC and ECU. Just Google ALDL circuit.

Those who are interested about what a OBD-II can be used for, here is a link that I tried on Laura!

Very useful in diagnosing the problem I should say.

From experience, not all manufacturers enable OBD - also different manufacturers make it quite tough to diagnose issues due to incomplete or proprietary diagnostics firmware

i have tried alto, zen, esteem, swift and none of them could give me a readout / basic response
