Precautions
Precaution for Vehicles Equipped with a Sup-
plemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
Diagnosis
 When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow “Air
Bag Diagnostic System Check” in Section 10B. Bypassing
these procedures 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 follow
proper procedures could result in possible air bag sys-
tem activation, 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 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.
1. Air bag wire harness (in instrument panel
wire harness and floor wire harness)5. Contact coil
2. Passenger air bag (inflator) module 6. Driver air bag (inflator) module
3. SDM 7. Seat belt pretensioner (if equipped)
4. DLC
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 pretensioner.

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), seat belt pretensioners (driver
and passenger) 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 90 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) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), 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 disconnect air bag (inflator) module connectors (driver and
passenger) and seat belt pretensioner connectors (driver and passenger) respectively.
 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
follow the instructions.
 After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” in Section 10B.

 When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag
describing the correct installation positions so that the
hoses can be reinstalled correctly.
 After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or
brake systems, check all lines related to the system for
leaks.
 For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never
disconnect the fuel line between the fuel pump and
injector without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel
can be sprayed out under pressure.
 When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80°C (176°F) in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove
the heat sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.
 Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts
to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
 Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (com-
puter, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
