PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED
WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIR BAG) SYSTEM
WARNING:

The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in
the figure. When it is necessary to service (remove, rein-
stall and inspect) these parts, be sure to follow proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B. Failure to follow proper
procedures could result in possible air bag system activa-
tion, 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), re-
move the air bag system components beforehand to avoid
component damage or unintended air bag system activa-
tion.
DIAGNOSIS

When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
ªDIAGNOSISº in SECTION 10B. Bypassing these proce-
dures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diag-
nosis, and incorrect parts replacement.

Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified
in this manual.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag (in-
flator) modules (driver and passenger) and seat belt preten-
tioners (driver and passenger). It is very dangerous as the
electric current from the tester may deploy the air bag or ac-
tivate the pretensioner.

Refer to ªTroubleshooting Procedure Using Manifold Gauge Setº in
this section.
REMOVAL
1) Recover refrigerant by using recovery and recycling equipment.
Be sure to follow the instruction manual for the equipment. The
amount of compressor oil removed must be measured and the
same amount added to the system.
2) Remove front grill.
3) Disconnect suction pipe (1), and liquid pipe (2) from evaporator
(Cooling unit).
CAUTION:
As soon as above hose and pipe are disconnected, cap
opened fittings so that moisture and dust may not enter
cooling unit.
4) Disconnect suction pipe, and liquid pipe from suction hose (1)
and condenser outlet pipe (2).
5) Remove pipe clamp then remove suction pipe and liquid pipe.
6) Remove expansion valve (1).
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal sequence to install expansion valve.
2) Evacuate and charge system. Refer to ªEVACUATINGº and
ªCHARGINGº in this section.

1. CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS
Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such a inspection form will facilitate collecting information to the point required for proper
analysis and diagnosis.
2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK, RECORD AND CLEARANCE
First, referring to DTC check section, check DTC (including pending DTC). If DTC exists, print or write down
DTC and freeze frame data and then clear them by referring to DTC clearance section. DTC indicates malfunc-
tion in the system but it is not possible to know from it whether the malfunction is occurring now or it occurred
in the past and normal condition has been restored. In order to know that, check symptom in question according
to Step 5 and then recheck DTC according to Step 6.
Diagnosing a trouble based on the DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC in this step may result in
an faulty diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting which is otherwise unnec-
essary.
3 and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
As a preliminary step, be sure to perform visual check of the items that support proper function of the A / T and
engine referring to Visual Inspection section.
5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Check trouble symptoms based on information obtained in Step 1 ªCUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSISº and
Step 2 ªDTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECKº.
Also, recheck DTC according to ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº described in each ªDTC FLOW TABLEº.
6 and 7. RECHECKING AND RECORD OF DTC/FREEZE FRAME DATA
Refer to ªDTC Checkº section for checking procedure.
8. A/T BASIC CHECK AND TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Perform A / T basic check according to the ªA / T Basic Check Flow Tableº first. When the end of the flow table
has been reached, check the parts of the system suspected as a possible cause referring to TROUBLE DIAG-
NOSIS TABLE and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained through steps of custom-
er complaint analysis, trouble symptom confirmation and/or A / T basic check) and repair or replace faulty parts,
if any.
9. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 and 7 and referring to ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLEº
in this section, locate the cause of the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator,
PCM or other part and repair or replace faulty parts.
10. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
ªINTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONº in Section 0A and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
11. FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the A / T is free from any abnormal conditions.
If what has been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once, set conditions under which
DTC was detected and A / T and/or vehicle was repaired and confirm that no DTC is indicated.
