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 negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
NOTE:
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
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified dur-
ing reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

MAKE ADJUSTMENT ACCORDING TO FOLLOWING PRO-
CEDURE.
1) Check worm shaft (1) to ensure that it is free from thrust
play.
2) Position pitman arm (2) in nearly parallel with worm shaft (1)
as shown. (With pitman arm (2) in this position, front wheels
are in straightforward state.)

Power Steering Belt Check
INSPECTION
Check that belt is free from any damage and properly fitted
in pulley groove.
Check belt tension by measuring how much it deflects when
pushed at mid-point between pulley with about 10 kg (22 lb)
force.
Deflection of oil pump belt
“a” : 6 – 9 mm (0.25 – 0.35 in.)
Power Steering Belt Tension Adjustment
1) Loosen tension pulley bolts (3) and set hexagon wrench to
hexagon hole (5).
2) Turn tension pulley counterclockwise by hexagon wrench in
order to obtain above specification.
3) Tighten tension pulley bolts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Tension pulley bolts
(a) : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With engine stopped check fluid level indicated on P/S fluid reser-
voir (1) or level gauge (3), which should be between MAX and
MIN marks. If it is lower than lower limit (MIN), replenish fluid up
to upper limit (MAX) mark.
1. P/S pump pulley 4. A/C compressor pulley (if equipped)
2. Crank pulley
CAUTION:
Make sure to use an equivalent of DEXRON
®-II,
DEXRON
®-IIE or DEXRON®-III for P/S fluid.
Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool before
starting engine.

Hydraulic Pressure In P/S Circuit Check
1) Clean where pipe is connected thoroughly, then disconnect
high pressure hose from high pressure pipe connector and
connect oil pressure gauge (special tool) as shown.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77410
(B) : 09915-77420
2) Bleed air.
3) With engine running at idling speed, keep turning steering
wheel to the right and left till fluid in P/S fluid reservoir is
warmed to 50 to 60 °C (122 – 140 °F)
4) Back pressure check
With engine running at idling speed and hands off from
steering wheel, check hydraulic pressure.
If back pressure exceeds 980 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi),
check control valve and pipes for obstruction.
Back pressure : 980 kPa (10 kg/cm

5) Relief pressure check
a) Increase engine speed to about 1,500 to 1,600 rpm.
Close valve (6) gradually while watching pressure increase
indicated on gauge (4) and take reading of relief pressure
(maximum hydraulic pressure).
If higher than 8,400 kPa (85 kg/cm
2, 1208 psi), malfunction
of relief valve.
If lower than 6,400 kPa (65 kg/cm
2, 925 psi), failure of P/S
pump or settling of relief valve spring.
Relief pressure
6,400 – 8,400 kPa (65 – 85 kg/cm
2, 925 – 1208 psi)
b) Next, open gauge valve (6) fully and increase engine speed
to about 1,500 to 1,600 r/min. Then turn steering wheel to
the left or right fully and take reading of relief pressure.
If lower than 6,400 kPa (65 kg/cm
2, 1280 psi), failure in
steering gear.
Relief pressure
6,400 – 8,400 kPa (65 – 85 kg/cm
2, 925 – 1208 psi) CAUTION:
Be sure not to keep gauge valve closed for longer than
10 seconds.
Never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than
10 seconds.
