3A-2 FRONT END ALIGNMENT
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Front alignment refers to the angular relationship between the
front wheels, the front suspension attaching parts and the ground.
Generally, the only adjustment required for front alignment is toe
setting.
Camber and caster can’t be adjusted. Therefore, should camber
or caster be out of specification due to the damage caused by
hazardous road conditions or collision, whether the damage is in
body or in suspension should be determined. If the body is dam-
aged, it should be repaired and if suspension is damaged, it
should be replaced.
TOE SETTING
Toe is the turning in or out of the front wheels. The purpose of a
toe specification is to ensure parallel rolling of the front wheels
(Excessive toe-in or toe-out may increase tire wear).
Toe-in
“B”-“A” : 0 ± 1 mm (0 ± 0.039 in.)
For adjusting toe setting, refer to “TOE ADJUSTMENT” in this
section.
CAMBER
Camber is the tilting of the front wheels from the vertical, as
viewed from the front of the vehicle. When the wheels tilt outward
at the top, the camber is positive. When the wheels tilt inward at
the top, the camber is negative. The amount of tilt is measured in
degrees.
Camber “C”
2WD vehicle : –0° 20’ ± 1°
4WD vehicle : 0° ± 1°

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with a Air Bag System
Service on or around air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized suzuki dealer. Please observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in SECTION 10B and Precau-
tions, Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location view in Section 10B before performing
service on or around air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could
result in unintended 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 deployed 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.

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 the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

3B1-4 ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
The P/S system in this vehicle is controlled by P/S control module. P/S control module has an on-board diagnos-
tic system which detects a malfunction in this system.
When diagnosing troubles, be sure to have full understanding of the outline of “ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYS-
TEM” and each item in “PRECAUTION IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLE” and execute diagnosis according to “SYS-
TEM CHECK FLOW TABLE”.
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
P/S control module performs on-board diagnosis (self-diagnosis)
on the system and operates “EPS” warning lamp (1) (malfunction
indicator lamp) as follows.
Malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warning lamp) lights when
the ignition switch is turned to ON position (but the engine at
stop) regardless of the condition of P/S control system. This
is only to check the malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warn-
ing lamp) bulb and its circuit.
If the areas monitored by P/S control module is free from any
trouble after the engine start (while engine is running), mal-
function indicator lamp (“EPS” warning lamp) turns OFF.
When P/S control module detects a trouble which has
occurred in the areas it monitors, malfunction indicator lamp
(“EPS” warning lamp) turns ON while the engine is running
to warn the driver of such occurrence of trouble and at the
same time it stores the exact trouble area in memory inside
of P/S control module.
PRECAUTIONS IN DIAGNOSING TROUBLES
Take a note of DTC indicated first.
Be sure to read “PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT SERVICE” in Section 0A before inspection
and observe what is written there.
When two or more troubles have occurred, their DTCs are indicated 3 times each starting with the smallest
code number and up.
DTC C1122 (DTC No.22) (engine speed signal failure) is indicated when ignition switch is ON position and
engine is not running but if indication changes to a normal one when engine is started, it means nothing
abnormal.
As DTC is stored in memory of P/S control module, be sure to clear memory after repair by performing the
procedure described in “DTC CLEARANCE”.

SYSTEM CHECK FLOW TABLE
Step Action Yes No
1 1) Record details of the problem (failure, complaint) and how it
occurred as described by the customer.
For this purpose, use of such a questionnaire from as shown
below will facilitate collecting information to the point required for
proper analysis and diagnosis.
2) Check if what the customer claimed in “CUSTOMER QUES-
TIONNAIRE” is actually found in the vehicle and if that symptom
is found, whether it is identified as a failure.
(This step should be shared with the customer if possible.)
3) Check malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warning lamp) opera-
tion referring to “MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (“EPS”
LIGHT) CHECK”.
4) Check DTC referring to “DTC CHECK” in this section and record
the DTC(s).
5) Clear DTC if any malfunction DTC exists referring to “DTC
CLEARANCE” in this section, then recheck DTC.
Is any malfunction DTC detected?Go to Step 2. Go to Step 3.
2 1) Inspect and repair referring to applicable “DTC TABLE” in this
section.
2) Clear DTC referring to “DTC CLEARANCE” in this section.
Does the trouble recur?Go to Step 5. Go to Step 4.
3 1) Test drive the vehicle and turn steering wheel fully to the right
and left during test driving. See WARNING. Check if any trouble
exists.
2) Inspect and repair basic parts referring to “DIAGNOSIS CHART”
in SECTION 3.
3) If the trouble cannot be repaired in Step 3-2), inspect and repair
referring to “TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS (FOR TROUBLE NOT INDI-
CATED BY ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM)” in this sec-
tion.
Does the trouble recur?Go to Step 5. Go to Step 4.
4 1) Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and P/S system is
free from any abnormal conditions. If what has been repaired is
related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform
test driving as in Step 3-1) and confirm that no DTC is indicated.
Is any malfunction DTC detected?Go to Step 5. END
5 1) Check DTC referring to “DTC CHECK” in this section.
Is any malfunction DTC detected?Go to Step 2. Go to Step 3.
WARNING:
Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.

(“EPS” WARNING LAMP) CHECK
1) Turn ignition switch to ON position (but without running
engine), check that malfunction indicator lamp (“EPS” warn-
ing lamp) lights up. If lamp does not light up, go to “TABLE
