Precautions for Vehicles Equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
S7RS0B0000001
WARNING! 
• The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in the figure. When it is 
necessary to service (remove, reinstall and 
inspect) these parts, be sure to follow 
procedures described in Air Bag System 
section. Failure to follow proper 
procedures could result in possible air bag 
system activation, personal injury, damage 
to parts or air bag system being unable to 
activate when necessary.
• If the air bag system and another vehicle  system both need repair, SUZUKI 
recommends that the air bag system be 
repaired first, to help  avoid unintended air 
bag system activation.
• Do not modify the steering wheel,  dashboard, or any other air bag system 
components. Modifications can adversely 
affect air bag system performance and 
lead to injury.
• If the vehicle will be exposed to  temperatures over 93  °C (200  °F) (for 
example, during a paint baking process), 
remove the air bag system components 
beforehand to avoid component damage 
or unintended air bag system activation.
 
Diagnosis
• When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to  follow “Diagnosis” in Air Bag System section. 
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended 
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect 
parts replacement.
• Never use electrical test equipment other than that  specified.
WARNING! 
Never attempt to measure the resistance of 
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, 
passenger, side and curtain) and seat belt 
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is 
very dangerous as the electric current from 
the tester may deploy the air bag or activate 
the pretensioner.

WARNING! 
SDM
• For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature 
below 65  °C (150  °F), without high humidity 
and away from electric noise.
• During service procedures, be very careful  when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic 
Module (SDM). Never strike or jar the SDM.
• Never power up the air bag system when  the SDM is not rigidly attached to the 
vehicle. All SDM and mounting bracket 
fasteners must be carefully torqued and 
the arrow must be pointing toward the 
front of the vehicle to ensure proper 
operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered 
while not rigidly att ached to the vehicle 
which could cause deployment and result 
in personal injury.
 
WARNING! 
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt 
Pretensioners
• For handling and storage of a live seat belt  pretensioner, select a place where the 
ambient temperature below 65  °C (150 ° F), 
without high humidity and away from 
electric noise.
• Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire  or connector of pretensioner. When 
placing a live seat belt pretensioner on the 
workbench or some place like that, never 
put something on seat belt pretensioner. 
Otherwise, personal  injury may result.
• Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt  pretensioners (drive and passenger). If 
disposal is necessary, be sure to activate 
them according to activation procedures 
described in “Air Bag (Inflator) Module and 
Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal in Section 
8B” before disposal.
• The seat belt pretensioner immediately  after activation is very hot. Wait for at least 
half an hour to cool it off before 
proceeding the work.
• With many service procedures, gloves and  safety glasses should be worn to prevent 
any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
 
• Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect system 
parts and other related parts according to instructions 
under “Repair and Inspection Required after Accident 
in Section 8B”.
• When servicing parts other than air bag system, if  shocks may be applied to air bag system component 
parts, remove those parts beforehand.
• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,  passenger, side and curtain), seat belt pretensioners 
(driver and passenger), forward sensor, side sensors 
or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to 
it. If an excessive impact was applied, never attempt 
disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got  onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger, side 
and curtain) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and 
passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
• Air bag wire harness is included in floor and  instrument panel wire harnesses. Air bag wire 
harness branched off from floor and instrument panel 
wire harnesses can be identifie d easily as it is covered 
with a yellow protection tube and it has yellow 
connectors. Be very ca reful when handling it.
• When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire  harness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire 
harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all  components are connected or a diagnostic flow 
requests it, as this will set a DTC.
• Never use air bag system component parts from  another vehicle.
• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect all  air bag (inflator) module connectors and pretensioner 
connectors from air bag wire harness respectively.
• Never expose air bag system component parts  directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after 
painting) or flames.
• WARNING / CAUTION labels  are attached on each 
part of air bag system components. Be sure to follow 
the instructions.
• After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag  Diagnostic System Check in Section 8B”.

DTC CheckS7RS0B1104003
NOTE
• There are two types of OBD system depending on the vehicle specification.
For details, refer to “Precaution on On-
Board Diagnostic (OBD) System”.
• The MIL is turned on when the ECM and/or  TCM detect malfunction(s). Each ECM and 
TCM stores diagnostic information as the 
diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in its 
memory and outputs th e DTC to the scan 
tool.
Therefore, check both of the ECM and TCM 
for any DTC with the SUZUKI scan tool 
because the DTC stored in ECM and TCM 
is not read and displayed at a time. 
However, each of the ECM and TCM needs 
not to be checked with the generic scan 
tool because the DTC stored in ECM and 
TCM is read and displayed at a time.
 
Using Scan Tool
1) Prepare OBD generic scan tool or SUZUKI scan  tool.
2) With ignition switch turned OFF, connect it to DLC  (1) located on underside of instrument panel at 
driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A):  SUZUKI scan tool
3) Turn ignition switch ON and confirm that MIL lights.
4) Read DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data  according to instructions displayed on scan tool and 
print them or write them  down. Refer to scan tool 
operator’s manual for further details.
If communication between scan tool and ECM is not 
possible, check if scan tool is communicable by 
connecting it to ECM in  another vehicle. If 
communication is possible in  this case, scan tool is 
in good condition. Then check data link connector 
and serial data line (circuit) in the vehicle with which 
communication was not possible. If connector and 
circuit are OK, check that power supply and ground 
circuits of ECM and DLC are in good condition 
referring to “ECM Power and Ground Circuit Check”. 5) After completing the check,
 turn ignition switch OFF 
and disconnect scan tool from data link connector.
Without Using Scan Tool (Hong Kong Model) 1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Using service wire, ground diagnosis switch terminal  (1) of diagnosis connector (2).
3) Turn ON ignition switch  and check DTC displayed on 
odometer (3) of combination meter.
When more than 2 DTCs are stored in memory, 
blinking for each DTC star ts with the smallest DTC 
number in increasing order. Also, DTC is indicated 
repeatedly until the ignition switch is turned OFF or 
disconnect service wire.
NOTE
When no DTC is detected, display on 
odometer of combinatio n meter is “0000”.
 
4) After completing the check,  turn ignition switch to 
OFF position and disconnect service wire from 
diagnosis connector.

Step 2: DTC Check, Record and Clearance
First, check DTC, referring to “DTC Check”. If DTC is 
indicated, print it or write them down and then clear them 
by referring to “DTC Clearance”. DTC indicates 
malfunction that occurred in the system but does not 
indicate whether it exists now  or it occurred in the past 
and the normal condition has been restored now. To 
check which case applies, check the symptom in 
question according to Step 5 and recheck DTC 
according to Step 6 and 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step 
only or failure to  clear the DTC in this step will lead to 
incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit 
or difficulty in troubleshooting.
Step 3 and 4: Visual Inspection
As a preliminary step, be sure  to perform visual check of 
the items that support proper function of the P/S system 
referring to “Visual Inspection”.
Step 5: Trouble Symptom Confirmation
Based on information obtained in “Step 1: Customer 
Complaint Analysis: ” and “S tep 2: DTC Check, Record 
and Clearance: ”, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, 
reconfirm trouble symptom by performing test drive and 
turning steering wheel fully to right and left at stopped 
vehicle.
Step 6 and 7: Rechecking and Record of DTC
Refer to “DTC Check” for checking procedure.
Step 8: Steering Symptom Diagnosis and P/S 
System Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic steering system check according to 
“Steering Symptom Diagnosis in  Section 6A” first. When 
the end of the flow has been  reached, check the parts of 
the system suspected as a possible cause referring to 
“P/S System Symptom Diagnosis” and based on 
symptoms appearing on the  vehicle (symptoms obtained 
through steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble 
symptom confirmation and/or  basic P/S system check) 
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC 
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring 
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, locate the cause of the 
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, 
connector, actuator, P/S control module or other part and 
repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to 
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to 
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section 
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2. Step 11: Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the P/
S system is free from any abnormal conditions. If what 
has been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC 
once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm 
that no DTC is indicated.
“EPS” Warning Light CheckS7RS0B6304002
1) Turn ignition switch to ON position (without engine 
running) and chec k if the “EPS” warning light (1) 
lights up. If the light dose not light up, go to ““EPS” 
Warning Light Does Not  Come ON with Ignition 
Switch Turned ON before Engine Starts” of the 
diagnostic flows.
2) Start engine and check if the “EPS” warning light  turns OFF. If light remains  ON and no DTC is stored 
in P/S control module, go  to ““EPS” Warning Light 
Remains ON Steady after Engine Starts” for 
troubleshooting.
