Air Bag WarningS7RS0B0000009
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 authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer 
to “Air Bag System Components, Wiring 
and Connectors Location in Section 8B” in 
order to confirm whether you are 
performing service on or near the air bag 
system components or wiring. Please 
observe all WARNINGS in Air Bag System 
section and “Precautions on Service and 
Diagnosis of Air Bag System in Section 
8B” 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).
 
Air Bag System Service WarningS7RS0B0000010
WARNING! 
• Service on or around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed 
only by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. 
Please observe all WARNINGS in Air Bag 
System section and “Precautions on 
Service and Diagnosis of Air Bag System 
in Section 8B” before performing service 
on or around the 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.
• The procedures in the air bag system  section must be followed in the order 
listed to disable the air bag system 
temporarily and prevent false DTCs from 
setting. Failure to follow procedures could 
result in possible activation of the air bag 
system, personal injury or otherwise 
unneeded air bag system repairs.
 
Fastener CautionS7RS0B0000011
CAUTION! 
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall 
them at the same location from which they 
were removed. If a fastener needs to be 
replaced, use the correct part number 
fastener for that application. If the correct 
part number fastener is not available, a 
fastener of equal size and strength (or 
stronger) may be used. Fasteners that are not 
reused, and those requiring thread-locking 
compound, will be called out. The correct 
torque value must be used when installing 
fasteners that require it. If the conditions are 
not followed, parts or system damage could 
result.
 
Suspension CautionS7RS0B0000012
CAUTION! 
• All suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it 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 
during reassembly to assure proper 
retention of this part.
• Never attempt to heat, quench or  straighten any suspension part. Replace it 
with a new part or damage to the part may 
result.
 
Wheels and Tires CautionS7RS0B0000013
CAUTION! 
All wheel 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 eq uivalent 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.

Precaution for Vehicle Equipped with ESP® 
System
S7RS0B0000015
• When testing with any of the following equipments 
(when vehicle is tested by  rotating wheels (tires) 
under vehicle stop), be sure to deactivate ESP ® 
system referring to “Precautions in Speedometer Test 
or Other Tests in Section 4F” to obtain correct data.
– 2 or 4-wheel chassis dynamometer
– Speedometer tester
– Brake tester
–Etc.
ESP ® control module
• When ESP ® control module is removed / installed, do 
not use impact wrenches which generate shock or 
impact to avoid damaging sensors in ESP ® control 
module.
• When any of the following operation is done, calibrate  steering angle sensor referring to “Sensor Calibration 
in Section 4F”.
– When battery or dome fuse is removed.
– When steering angle sensor is replaced.
Brake CautionS7RS0B0000014
CAUTION! 
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 eq uivalent 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.

Electrical Circuit Inspection ProcedureS7RS0B0006001
While there are various electrical circuit inspection 
methods, described here is a general method to check 
its open and short circuit by using an ohmmeter and a 
voltmeter.
Open Circuit Check
Possible causes for the open  circuit are as follows. As 
the cause is in the connector or terminal in many cases, 
they need to be checked particularly carefully.
• Loose connection of connector
• Poor contact of terminal (due  to dirt, corrosion or rust 
on it, poor contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.)
• Wire harness being open
When checking system circuits including an electronic 
control unit such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module, 
etc., it is important to perfor m careful check, starting with 
items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit  being checked for loose connection. Also check lock 
condition of connector if equipped with connector 
lock. 3) Using a test male terminal
, check both terminals of 
the circuit being checked for contact tension of its 
female terminal. Check each  terminal visually for 
poor contact (possibly caused  by dirt, corrosion, rust 
entry of foreign object, etc.). At the same time, check 
to make sure that each te rminal is locked in the 
connector fully.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.

• Improperly formed or damaged terminals.Check each connector terminal in problem circuits 
carefully to ensure good contact tension by using the 
corresponding mating terminal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase 
contact tension or replace.
• Poor terminal-to -wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor 
connection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any 
abnormal condition is found, repair or replace. • Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an 
intermittent short as the bare area touches other 
wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wiring broken inside the  insulation. This condition 
could cause continuity check to show a good circuit, 
but if only 1 or 2 strands of a multi-strand-type wire 
are intact, resistance could be far too high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once.
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment.

WARNING! 
All inspection and replacement are to be 
performed with ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
 
Water Pump and Generator Drive Belt1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cu ts, deformation, wear and 
cleanliness. If any defect exists, replace.
Check belt for tension.
