INSPECTION
MAGNET CLUTCH

Inspect clutch plate and clutch pulley for signs of oil.

Check clutch pulley bearings for noise and grease leakage.

Using and ohmmeter, measure resistance of clutch coil between
clutch coil lead wire (1) and compressor body.
If measured resistance is not within tolerance, replace coil.
Standard resistance: 2.5 ± 4.5
at 20C, 68F
COMPRESSOR THERMAL SWITCH
Use an ohmmeter to check thermal switch for continuity. If there is
no continuity, replace it.
REMOVAL
1) Remove compressor assembly from vehicle. Refer to COM-
PRESSOR ASSEMBLY in this section.
2) Fix clutch plate (1) with special tool (A) and remove clutch plate
bolt (2).
Special Tool
(A): 09991-06020
NOTE:
Do not reuse armature plate nut.

2. Install tires and wheels that are known to be good (on similar ve-
hicle) in place of those on the offending end of the vehicle. If the
waddle cannot be isolated to front or rear, substitute the rears.
3. Road test again. If improvement is noted, install originals one at
a time until offender is found. If no improvement is noted, install
known good tires in place of all four. Then install originals one
at a time until offender if found.

POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM
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 autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº 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
ªLOCKº 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:

Some parts in the Power Steering Gear Box cannot be disassembled or adjusted. For detailed informa-
tion, refer to the description of ªPOWER STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLYº.

All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and / or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of the
same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a replace-
ment part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reas-
sembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

Although the figures in this section show only the left-hand steering vehicle, the same work procedure
and data apply to the right-hand steering vehicle.

STEERING GEAR BOX
The steering gear box consists of two sections: one including a cyl-
inder and the other a valve. Main components of the cylinder sec-
tion are a gear box, a rack and a tube and those of the valve section
are a valve case, a sleeve and a stub shaft. The sleeve is linked with
the pinion through a pin and the valve and stub shaft are integrated
into one unit. Then the pinion and the stub shaft are linked to each
other by means of the torsion bar.
Thus, when the stub shaft moves, the valve changes its position,
thereby switching the hydraulic passage from the pump to the cylin-
der to help steering operation.
When turning the steering wheel feels heavy due to P / S fluid leak-
age or for some other reason (i.e., when in the manual steering
mode), the stub shaft and pinion are in direct linkage and the force
is output directly through the pinion and rack.

FLOW CONTROL VALVE
As the discharge rate of the P/S pump increases in proportion to the
pump revolution speed, a flow control valve is added to control it so
that the optimum amount of fluid for steering operation is supplied
according to the engine speed (driving condition).
Described below is its operation at different engine speed.

IDLE UP SYSTEM
IDLE UP SYSTEM CHECK
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn A / C switch OFF, if equipped.
3) Turn steering wheel fully and check idle speed.
Engine idle speed drops a little momentarily when steering
wheel is turned fully but returns to its specified level immediately.
If power steering pressure switch connector is connected, check
the same with that connector disconnected. Momentary drop of
engine idle speed should be less when it is connected than when
disconnected.
FLUID
FLUID LEAKAGE CHECK
Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is provided. Then
visually check gear box, P / S pump and P / S fluid reservoir themselves and each joint of their connecting pipes for
leakage.
CAUTION:
Never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than 10 seconds.
