Removal of Manifold Gauge Set
WARNING! 
High pressure side is under high pressure. 
Therefore, be careful not to get injured 
especially on your eyes and skin.
 
For the A/C system charged with the specified amount of 
refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set.  (The high pressure side valve is closed continuously 
during the process of charging.)
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service  valves. This operation must be performed quickly.
5) Put caps on service valves.
Check A/C System for Refrigerant Leaks
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system 
or any service operation has been performed which may 
result in malfunction of lines and connections, it is 
advisable to check for leaks.
Common sense should be used during refrigerant leak 
test, since the need and extent  of any such test will, in 
general, depend upon the nature of a complaint and the 
type of a service performed on the system.
Liquid leak detector
WARNING! 
• To prevent explosions and fires, make sure  that there are no flammables in the vicinity.
• When the refrigerant exposed to fire, it  turns into a poisonous gas (phosgene). Do 
not inhale this gas.
 
There is a number of fittings  and places throughout the 
A/C system where a liquid leak detector solution may be 
used to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question 
with a swab, such as attached to the cap of a vial, 
bubbles will form within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator 
and condenser, an electronic (refrigerant) leak detector 
is more practical fo r determining leaks.

Precautions in Diagnosing TroubleS7RS0B7220002
• Do not disconnect couplers from HVAC control module, battery cable from battery, HVAC control module ground 
wire harness from body or main fuse before confirming diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code) stored in 
HVAC control module memory.
• Diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code) stored in  HVAC control module can be checked by display of HVAC 
control module. Also, it can be checked by using SU ZUKI scan tool. Before checking diagnostic information 
(diagnostic trouble code), read this manual and operator's manual for SUZUKI scan tool to know how to read 
diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble code).
• When trouble is diagnosed using diagnostic information  (diagnostic trouble code) on display of HVAC control 
module, keep in your mind that each diagnostic inform ation (diagnostic trouble code) has priority, and only 
diagnostic information (diagnostic troub le code) which has the highest priority is indicated. Therefore, after 
troubleshooting the malfunction, make  sure if there exists any other diagnostic information (diagnostic trouble 
code).
• Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” before inspection.
Precautions on Servicing A/C SystemS7RS0B7220003
Refer to “Precautions on  Servicing A/C System”.
General Description
Auto A/C System DescriptionS7RS0B7221001
The automatic type air conditioning system (auto A/C) is pr ovided with the function to automatically control the inside 
air temperature, fan speed, air flow outl et direction and air intake position by HVAC control module in addition to 
functions of the manual type air conditioning system (manua l A/C). Once the inside air temperature is set using the 
temperature selector, HVAC control module automatically controls  the inside air temperature at the constant level at all 
times based on the inside air temperature, outside ai r temperature, amount of sunlight and engine coolant 
temperature detected respectively by the inside air te mperature sensor, outside air temperature sensor, sunload 
sensor and ECT sensor. At this time, “FULL AUTO A/ C” appears on the display of HVAC control module.
With the air intake selector pushed in the above state, it is possible to select any position of the air intake actuator.
Then, “FULL AUTO A/C” on the display changes to “AUTO A/C”.
