Compression SUZUKI SWIFT 2000 1.G SF310 Service Workshop Manual

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9

Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (computer,
relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only un-
leaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of un-
burned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
–Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as
short as possible, and do not open the throttle.
–Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest
possible time.
–Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g.
starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty.).
PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE

When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the speci-
fied capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity will cause
a damage to the electrical parts and a fire.

When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get dam-
aged.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
WARNING:

When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic accident
and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.

Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON.
3) Check vehicle and environmental condition for:
–Altitude (barometric pressure): 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Ambient temp.: –10C, 14F or higher
–Intake air temp.: 70C, 158F or lower
–Engine coolant temp.: –10 – 11 0C, 14 – 230F
4) Start engine and keep it at idle for 2 min. or more.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
6) If DTC is not detected at idle, consult usual driving based on information obtained in “Customer complaint analy-
sis” and “Freeze frame data check”.

1) Disconnect purge hose (1) from EVAP canister.
2) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose.
3) Check that vacuum is not felt there, when engine is
cool and running at idle. See Fig. 5.
