 Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” 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
“LOCK” 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).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “Refrigerant Type” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to

Abnormal Noise Diagnosis
There are various types of noise, ranging from those produced in the engine compartment to those from the
passenger compartment, also from rumbling noises to whistling noises.
Abnormal noise from compressor
Abnormal noise from magnetic clutch
Abnormal noise from tubing
Abnormal noise from condenser
Condition Possible Cause Correction
During compressor
operation, a rumbling
noise is heard propor-
tional to engine revo-
lutions.Inadequate clearance in piston area (piston or
swash-plate).Repair or replace compressor as
necessary
A loud noise is heard
at a certain rpm, dis-
proportionately to
engine revolution.Loose or faulty compressor drive belt. Adjust drive belt tension, or replace
belt.
Loose compressor mounting bolts. Retighten mounting bolts.
A loud rattle is heard
at low engine rpm.Loose compressor clutch plate bolt. Retighten clutch plate bolt.
Replace compressor if it was oper-
ated in this condition for a long
time.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
A rumbling noise is
heard when compres-
sor is not operating.Worn or damaged bearings. Replace magnet clutch assembly.
A chattering noise is
heard when compres-
sor is engaged.Faulty clutch clearance (excessive). Adjust clutch clearance.
Worn clutch friction surface. Replace magnet clutch assembly.
Compressor oil leaked from lip type seal. Replace lip type seal.
Contaminating the friction surface. Replace compressor body assem-
bly.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
A droning noise is
heard inside vehicle,
but not particularly
noticeable in engine
compartment.Faulty tubing clamps. Reposition clamps or increase the
number of clamps.
Resonance caused by pulsation from variations
in refrigerant pressure.Attach a silencer to tubing, or mod-
ify its position and length.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Considerable vibra-
tion in condenser.Resonance from condenser bracket and body. Firmly insert a silencer between
condenser bracket and body.

Abnormal noise from crankshaft pulley
Abnormal noise from tension pulley
Abnormal noise from A/C evaporator
Abnormal noise from blower fan motor
Condition Possible Cause Correction
A large rattling noise
is heard at idle or sud-
den acceleration.Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt. Retighten bolt.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Clattering noise is
heard from pulley.Worn or damaged bearing. Replace tension pulley.
Pulley cranks upon
contact.Cracked or loose bracket. Replace or retighten bracket.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Whistling sound is
heard from A/C evapo-
rator.Depending on the combination of the interior /
exterior temperatures, engine rpm and refriger-
ant pressure, the refrigerant flowing out of the
expansion valve may, under certain conditions,
make a whistling sound.At times, slightly decreasing refrig-
erant volume may stop this noise.
Inspect expansion valve and
replace if faulty.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Blower fan motor
emits a chirping
sound in proportion to
its speed of rotation.Worn or damaged motor brushes or commuta-
tor.Repair or replace blower fan motor.
Fluttering noise or
large droning noise is
heard from blower fan
motor.Leaves or other debris introduced from fresh air
inlet to blower fan motor.Remove debris and make sure that
the screen at fresh air inlet is intact.

Quick Checking of Refrigerant Charge
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A/C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
Run engine at fast idle, and operate A/C at its maximum cooling
capacity for a few minutes. Then, look at the sight glass (1) on
receiver / dryer (2) and compare what is observed with the symp-
toms listed in below.
CHECKING REFRIGERANT CHARGE
3. Bubbles
Symptom Charge of refrigerant condition Correction
Bubbles observed in sight glass Insufficient charge of refrigerant in
systemCheck system for leaks with a
leak tester.
No bubbles observed in sight glass No or insufficient charge of refrig-
erant in systemRefer to the items 3 and 4.
No temperature difference between
compressor inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty system Evacuate and charge system and
then check it for leaks with a leak
tester.
Noticeable temperature difference
between compressor inlet and outletProper or too much charge of
refrigerant in systemRefer to the items 5 and 6.
When A/C is turned OFF, refrigerant in
sight glass clears immediately and
remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in
systemDischarge excess refrigerant in
order to obtain a specified charge.
When A/C is turned OFF, refrigerant in
sight glass once produces bubbles and
then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in
systemNo correction needed because
charge of refrigerant is normal.

Performance Diagnosis
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90 °C (176 – 194 °F)) and keep
it at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch ON, and set blower switch at “HI” (3rd posi-
tion), temperature knob at “COOL” air outlet control knob at
“FACE” and fresh / circulation control knob at “CIRCULA-
TION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radiator / con-
denser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.
Performance diagnosis condition
7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.
Ambient temperature 15 – 35 °C (59 – 95 °F)
Engine rpm Keep to 1,500 rpm.

8) Check if each pressure on low side and on high side is within
shaded range of the graph.
If each gauge reading is out of specified pressure, correct
defective part referring to “Performance Diagnosis Table” in
this section.
Low side and high side pressure example :
9) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature rela-
tionship using graph.
For example, if evaporator inlet port temperature is 25 °C
(77 °F) and center duct air outlet temperature is 8 °C
(46.4 °F), their crossing point is within acceptable range as
shown in the graph.
If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble
referring to “Performance Diagnosis Table” in this section. NOTE:
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient tem-
perature. Therefore, use graph when determining if pres-
sures are normal or not.
Gauges should read as follows when ambient tempera-
ture is 30 °C (86 °F).
