Important
WARNING/CAUTION/NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. To emphasize special information, the words
WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE
have special meanings. Pay special attention to the messages highlighted by
these signal words.
WARNING:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in vehicle damage.
NOTE:
Indicates special information to make maintenance easier or instructions clearer.
WARNING:
This service manual is intended for authorized Suzuki dealers and qualified service mechanics only.
Inexperienced mechanics or mechanics without the proper tools and equipment may not be able to
properly perform the services described in this manual.
Improper repair may result in injury to the mechanic and may render the vehicle unsafe for the driver
and passengers.
WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with a 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.
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, instrument panel or any other air bag system component (on or
around air bag system components or wiring). 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 (air bag (inflator) modules, forward sensor(s),
SDM and/or seat belt pretensioners) beforehand to avoid component damage or unintended activa-
tion.

0A-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
Precautions
Precaution for Vehicles Equipped with A Sup-
plemental Restraint
(Air Bag) System
Diagnosis
When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
“DIAGNOSIS” in SECTION 10B. Bypassing these proce-
dures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect
diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
Never use electrical test equipment other than that
specified in this manual. 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 SECTION 10B. Failure to fol-
low proper procedures could result in possible air bag
system activation, personal injury, damage to parts or
air bag system being unable to activate when neces-
sary.
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both
need repair, SUZUKI recommends that the air bag sys-
tem 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 pro-
cess), remove the air bag system components before-
hand to avoid component damage or unintended air
bag system activation.

WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger) and seat belt
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is very danger-
ous as the electric current from the tester may deploy the
air bag or activate the pretensioners.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-5
CAUTION:
Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under “REPAIR AND INSPECTION
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT” in SECTION 10B.
When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), forward sensors or SDM, be
careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was applied (e.g., dropped from
a height of 91.4 cm (3 feet) or more), 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 and pas-
senger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is covered with a yellow protection tube. Be very
careful 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
chart requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
Never use air bag system component parts from another vehicle.
When using electric welding, be sure to temporarily disable air bag system referring to “DIS-
ABLING AIR BAG SYSTEM” in SECTION 10B.
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 fol-
low the instructions.
After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” in SEC-
TION 10B.

Quickly Checking of Refrigerant Charge (If
Equipped with Sight Glass)
The following procedure can be used for quickly checking whether
the A/C system has a proper charge of refrigerant or not.
1) Run engine at fast idle.
2) Operate A/C at the following conditions for a few minutes.
Main (front) A/C switch at ON position.
Rear A/C main switch at ON position (if equipped).
Front blower motor switch at max position.
Rear blower motor switch at max position (if equipped).
Air outlet control button at face position.
Temperature control lever at max cool position.
Vehicle door at all open.
Air inlet door at recirculation position.
3) Look at the sight glass (1) and compare what is observed
with the symptoms listed in the table given below.

Condition Possible Cause Correction
Bubbles observed in sight
glassInsufficient charge of refrigerant in system Check system for leaks with a leak tester.
No bubbles observed in
sight glassNo charge or proper or too much charge of refrigerant in
systemRefer to the following items.
No temperature differ-
ence between compressor
inlet and outletEmpty or nearly empty system Perform recovery, evacuating and charg-
ing system and then check it for leaks
with a leak tester.
Noticeable temperature

pressor inlet and outletProper or too much charge of refrigerant in system Refer to the following items.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
clears immediately and
remains clearToo much charge of refrigerant in system Recharge with specified amount of refrig-
erant.
When A/C is turned OFF,
refrigerant in sight glass
once produces bubbles
and then clearsProper charge of refrigerant in system Perform “PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS”
in this section.

Inspection of A/C Controller and Its Circuits
A/C Controller (1) and its circuits can be checked at A/C controller
wiring couplers by measuring voltage.
Voltage check
1) Remove A/C controller (1) from vehicle referring to “A/C
CONTROLLER” in this section.
2) Remove ECM (2) from vehicle.
3) Connect A/C controller couplers to A/C controller and con-
nect ECM couplers to ECM.
4) Check each terminal voltage with couplers connected by
referring to “A/C CONTROLLER VOLTAGE VALUES TABLE”. CAUTION:
A/C controller and ECM cannot be checked by itself.
It is strictly prohibited to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter
to A/C controller and ECM with couplers disconnected
from it.
