Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
For the details, refer to “Diagnosis Table” in Section 3.
Preliminary Checks Prior To Adjusting Front Wheel Alignment
Steering and vibration complaints are not always the result of improper alignment. An additional item to be
checked is the possibility of tire lead due to worn or improperly manufactured tires. “Lead” is the deviation of the
vehicle from a straight path on a level road without hand pressure on the steering wheel. Section 3 of this man-
ual contains a procedure for determining the presence of a tire lead problem. Before making any adjustment
affecting toe setting, the following checks and inspections should be made to ensure correctness of alignment
readings and alignment adjustments:
1) Check all tires for proper inflation pressures and approximately the same tread wear.
2) Check for loose of king pin bearings. Check tie rod ends; if excessive looseness is noted, it must be cor-
rected before adjusting.
3) Check for run-out of wheels and tires.
4) Check vehicle trim heights; if out of limits and a correction is to be made, it must be made before adjusting
toe.
5) Check for loose of suspension arms.
6) Check for loose or missing stabilizer bar attachments.
7) Consideration must be given to excess loads, such as tool boxes. If this excess load is normally carried in
vehicle, it should remain in vehicle during alignment checks.
8) Consider condition of equipment being used to check alignment and follow manufacturer's instructions.
9) Regardless of equipment used to check alignment, vehicle must be on a level surface both fore and aft and
transversely.
Toe Adjustment
Toe is adjusted by changing tie rod length. Loosen right and left
tie rod end lock nuts first and then rotate tie rod to align toe-in to
specification.
In this adjustment, right and left tie rod should become equal in
length (“A”).
After adjustment, tighten lock nuts to specified torque.

(a) : 65 N·m (6.5 kg-m, 47.0 lb-ft)

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement 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 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:
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E first.
All brake 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
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
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result
in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

Brake Pedal Free Height Adjustment
1) Check brake pedal free height.
If it is not within specification, check and adjust following item
2) and 3).
Brake pedal free height “a” from wall
LH steering vehicle : 221 – 227 mm (8.70 – 8.94 in.)
RH steering vehicle : 217 – 223 mm (8.54 – 8.78 in.)
2) Check measurement between booster mounting surface and
center of clevis pin hole. When booster push rod clevis has
been reinstalled, it is important that the measurement is
adjusted. (Refer to “Brake Booster Inspection and Adjust-
ment” in this section.)
3) Check stop light switch position. Adjust it if it is out of specifi-
cation.
Brake Pedal Play Check
Pedal play should be within specification below.
If out of specification, check stop light switch for proper installation
position and adjust if necessary.
Also check pedal shaft bolt and master cylinder pin installation for
looseness and replace if defective.
Brake pedal play “a” : 1 – 8 mm (0.04 – 0.31 in.)
Stop Light Switch Adjustment
Adjustment should be made as follows when installing switch. Pull
up brake pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust
switch position so that clearance between end of thread and
brake pedal is specified. Then tighten lock nut to specified torque.
Clearance between brake pedal and stop light switch
“c” : 1.5 – 2.0 mm (0.06 – 0.08 in.)

which should be within following specification.
If measured value is out of specification, adjust it to specifi-
cation with cable adjusting nut (1).
Accelerator pedal play
“a” : 2 – 7 mm (0.08 – 0.27 in.)
2) With accelerator pedal depressed fully, check clearance
between throttle lever (2) and lever stopper (3) (throttle
body) which should be within following specification.
If measured value is out of specification, adjust it to specifi-
cation by changing height of pedal stopper bolt (1).
Accelerator cable adjustment clearance

“a” : 0.5 – 2.0 mm (0.02 – 0.07 in.)
Idle speed / idle air control (IAC) duty inspection
Before idle speed / IAC duty check, make sure of the following.
Lead wires and hoses of Electronic Fuel Injection and engine
emission control systems are connected securely.
Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is not tight.
Valve lash is checked and adjusted according to mainte-
nance schedule.
Ignition timing is within specification.
All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, A/C, etc.) are out of
service.
Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condi-
tion.
No abnormal air inhaling from air intake system.
After above items are all confirmed, check idle speed and IAC
duty as follows.
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T
vehicle), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
