7B1-44 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
LEVEL CHECK AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
The fluid level check at room temperature (20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
°F)) performed after repair or fluid change before test driving is
just preparation for level check of normal operating temperature.
The checking procedure itself is the same as that described previ-
ously. If the fluid level is between FULL COLD and LOW COLD,
proceed to test drive. And when the fluid temperature has
reached the normal operating temperature, check fluid level again
and adjust it as necessary.
Fluid change
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) With engine is cool, remove drain plug (1) from oil pan and
drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug (1).
Tightening torque
A/T fluid drain plug (a) :
23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
4) Lower vehicle and fill proper amount of an equivalent of
DEXRON
®-III.
5) Check fluid level referring to “LEVEL CHECK NORMAL
OPERATING TEMPERATURE” of “FLUID LEVEL” in this
section.
Fluid specification :
An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
Fluid capacity
When draining from drain plug hole:
2.5 liters (5.28/4.40 US/lmp.pt.)
When overhauling:
6.8 liters (14.37/11.97 US/lmp.pt.)

A/T Throttle Cable
ADJUSTMENT
1) Pull inner cable (3) by force of 2 N (0.2 kg, 0.45 lb) or less to
be no slack of inner cable with A/T throttle cable (1) curved
as shown in the figure.
2) Fix stopper (2) to inner cable (3) with clearance “c”.
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
3) Warm up engine and transmission to normal operating tem-
perature.
4) Make sure that accelerator cable is adjusted as specified.
5) With throttle valve closed, check clearance “c”, which should
be within the following specification, of A/T throttle cable (1).
If it is out of specification, adjust it by turning cable adjusting
nut (2).
A/T throttle cable adjusting position (clearance “c”) :
0.8 – 1.5 mm (0.03 – 0.06 in.)
6) Tighten lock nut (3) securely.

circuits of 4WD switch.
If OK, substitute a
known-good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.
3 Check power supply.
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage between C51-1-9 and C51-3-17

in good condition.Check “ORN/BLK” cir-
cuit (including indica-
tor lamp and
combination meter).

Precaution for Maintenance Service
•When having driven through water, check immediately if
water has entered (if so, oil is cloudy). Water mixed oil must
be changed at once.
•Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other service work than
oil change, also be sure to check for oil leakage and status of
breather hoses.
Differential Gear Oil Change
1) Before oil change or inspection, be sure to stop engine and
lift up vehicle horizontally.
2) Check oil level and existence of leakage. If leakage is found,
correct its cause.
3) Drain old oil and pour proper amount of gear oil as specified
(roughly up to level hole).
4) Torque drain plug (3) and level/filler plugs (2) to specification.
“A” : Sealant 99000-31110
Tightening torque
Differential oil level/filler plug (a) :
50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
Differential oil drain plug (b) :
28 N·m (2.8 kg-m, 20.5 lb-ft)
Hypoid gear oil :
API GL-5, SAE 75W-85, 80W-90 or 90
Oil capacity :
2.5 liters (5.3/4.4 US/Imp. pt.) NOTE:
Hypoid gear oil must be used for differential.
It is highly recommended to use SAE 80W-90 viscosity.

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
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).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
