6-1-100 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS (H27 ENGINE)
Evap canister purge system inspection
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Hoist vehicle so that all wheels rotate freely.
3) Set M/T in “Neutral” or A/T in “P” position and parking brake.
4) Disconnect purge hose (1) from EVAP canister.
5) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose (1) and
check that vacuum is not felt there when engine is running at
idle speed.
6) Release parking brake lever, set transfer in “2H” and M/T in
“1st” or A/T in “L”.
7) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine speed is
increased to higher than about 1,500 r/min. and keep it for 3
min. or more. If check result is not described in steps 5) and
7), check EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and vac-
uum passage.
Vacuum passage inspection
Start engine and run it at idle speed. With finger placed against
vacuum nozzle (1), check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
WARNING:
Make sure that transfer is set to “2H” range position for
this check. If it is set to “4H” or “4L” position, front and
rear wheels turn at high speed and a very dangerous sit-
uation may occur.

Vacuum hose inspection
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and deterioration.
Replace as necessary.
Evap canister purge valve and its circuit inspection
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC (1) with ignition switch
OFF and disconnect vacuum hoses from each pipe.
2) Turn ignition switch ON, clear DTC and select “MISC TEST”
mode on SUZUKI scan tool.
3) Check purge valve for operation and vacuum passage for
clog when valve is switched ON and OFF by using SUZUKI
scan tool.
If check result is not described, check vacuum hoses, purge
valve, wire harness and connections.
EVAP canister purge valve :
Valve OFF [A] : When blowing into hose “A”, air should
not come out of hose “B”.
Valve ON [B] : When blowing into hose “A”, air should
come out of hose “B”.
Evap canister purge valve inspection
1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect coupler from canister
purge valve.
2) Check resistance between two terminals of EVAP canister
purge valve (1).
If resistance is as specified, proceed to next operation check.
If not, replace.
Resistance of EVAP canister purge valve :
28 – 35
Ω
ΩΩ Ω at 20°C (68°F)
3) Disconnect vacuum hoses from intake manifold and its EVAP
canister.
4) With coupler disconnected, blow into hose “A” (1). Air should
not come out of hose “B” (2).

5) Connect 12 V-battery to EVAP canister purge valve (3) termi-
nals. In this state, blow hose “A” (1).
Air should come out of hose “B” (2).
If check result is not as described, replace EVAP canister
purge valve.
6) Connect vacuum hoses.
7) Connect EVAP canister purge valve coupler securely.WARNING:
