LINE PRESSURE TEST
Purpose of this test is to check operating conditions of each part by
measuring fluid pressure in fluid pressure line. Line pressure test
requires following conditions.

Automatic fluid is at normal operating temperature (70 to 80C /
158 ± 176F).

Fluid is filled to proper level (between FULL HOT and LOW HOT
on dipstick).
1) Apply parking brake securely and place checks against wheels.
2) Attach oil pressure gauge to fluid pressure check hole in trans-
mission case.
Special Tool
(A): 09925-37810
CAUTION:
After attaching oil pressure gauge, check that not fluid
leakage exists.
3) Depress foot brake fully, run engine at idle and stall and then
check fluid pressure in ªDº or ªRº range.
CAUTION:
Do not continue running engine at stall speed longer than
5 seconds.

STALL TEST
This test is to check overall performance of automatic transmission
and engine by measuring stall speed at ªDº and ªRº ranges. Be sure
to perform this test only when transmission fluid is at normal operat-
ing temperature and its level is between FULL and LOW marks.
CAUTION:

Do not run engine at stall more than 5 seconds continu-
ously, for fluid temperature may rise excessively high.

After performing stall test, be sure to leave engine running
at idle for longer than 30 seconds before another stall test.
1) Apply parking brake and block wheels.
2) Install tachometer.
3) Start engine with select lever shifted to ªPº.
4) Depress brake pedal fully.
5) Shift select lever to ªDº and depress accelerator pedal fully while
watching tachometer. Read engine rpm quickly when it has be-
come constant (stall speed).
6) Release accelerator pedal immediately after stall speed is
checked.
7) In the same way, check stall speed in ªRº range.

7C1-2 CLUTCH
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single
disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part,
with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying torsional coil springs, is positioned
on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and car-
ries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the pe-
ripheral edge part of the spring pushes on the pres-
sure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in be-
tween), when the clutch release bearing is held back.
This is the engaged condition of the clutch.Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bear-
ing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered
fingers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens,
the diaphragm spring pulls the pressure plate away
from the flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of
drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transmis-
sion input shaft.

7E
DIFFERENTIAL (FRONT) 7E-1
The differential assembly using a hypoid bevel pinion
and gear is installed to the front axle.
4WD control system controls drive force to be trans-
mitted to front axles or not. The reduction ratio varies
depending on transmission or engine type.The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two conditions may
result in severe injury.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
ªLOCKº position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

NOTE:

When cleaning rear window glass, use a dry cloth to wipe it
along wire direction.

When cleaning glass, do not use detergent or abrasive-con-
taining glass cleaner.

When measuring wire voltage, use a tester with negative
probe wrapped with a tin foil which should be held down on
wire by finger pressure.
1) Checking wire damage
a. Turn main switch ON.
b. Turn defogger switch ON.
c. Use a voltmeter to check voltage at the center of each heat
wire, as shown.

Approx. 10 V or 0 VBroken wire
If measured voltage is 10 V, wire must be damaged between
its center and positive end. If voltage is zero, wire must be
damaged between its center and ground.
