1987 SUZUKI GRAND VITARA ECU

O-2. STANDARD SHOP PRACTICES
1. Protect painted surfaces of the body, and
avoid staining or tearing seats. When working
on fenders and seats, be sure to cover them
up with sheets.
2. Disconnect negative terminal connection of
the battery when working on any electrical
part or component. This is necessary for
avoiding electrical shocks and short-circuit-
ing, and is very simple to accomplish: merely
loosen wing nut on negative terminal and
separate cable from terminal post.
3. In raising front or rear car end off the floor
by jacking, be sure to put the jack against
differential portion of axle housing.
NOTE:
Don’t get on the car, get under it or service it in
this state.
Fig. O-3 Front Side
4. To perform service with either front or rear
car end jacked up, be sure to place safety
stands under chassis frame so that body is
securely supported. Refer to below figures
for where to place safety stands. And then
check to ensure that chassis frame does not
slide on safety stands and the car is held
stable for safety’s sake.
WARNING:
Place chocks against both right and left
wheels on the ground from both front and
rear.

1. WATER PUMP BELT INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
[INSPECTION]
1) Disconnect negative battery lead at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation,
wear and cleanliness. If any defect, replace.
Check belt for tension. The belt is in’ proper
tension if it deflects 6 to 9 mm (0.24 - 0.35
in.) under thumb pressure (about 10 kg or
22 lb.)..

NOTE:
Steps 1) - 6) outlined above must be performed
with ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 7),
be sure to have adequate ventilation while
engine is running
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE or
SF class.
NOTE:For temperatures below
32”F(O”C), it is highly
recommended to use SAE 5W-30 oil.

8) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
5. COOLING SYSTEM HOSES AND
CONNECTIONS INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect cooling system hoses for any
evidence of leakage and cracks. Examine them
for damage, and check connection clamps
for tightness.
2) Replace all hoses which show evidence of
leakage, cracks or other damage. Replace all
clamps which cannot maintain proper tight-
ness.
6. ENGINE COOLANT CHANGE
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do
not remove radiator cap while engine and
radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid and
steam can be blown out under pressure if
the cap is taken off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug @
to drain
coolant.
3) Remove reservoir tank 0, which is on the
side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug
@ securely. Also reinstall reser-
voir tank.

4. ENGINE OIL AND FILTER CHANGEBefore draining engine oil, check engine for oil
leakage. If any evidence of leakage is found,
make sure to correct defective part before
proceeding to the following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean.
Reinstall drain plug, and tighten it securely.

3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench
“A” (special tool 09915-47310).
4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand
until the filter “0” ring contacts the mounting
surface.
ICAUTION:
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is important to accurately identify the
1-position at which the filter “0” ring first
contacts the mounting surface.
5)Tighten the filter 3/4 turn from the point of
contact with the mounting surface using an

6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to
FULL level mark on dipstick. (about 3.7liters or 7.8/6.5

US/Imp pt.). The filler
inlet is atop the cylinder head cover.
7) Start engine and run it for three minutes.
Stop engine and wait another three minutes
before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary,
to bring oil level to FULL level mark on dip
stick.
NOTE:
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its
“0” ring. Use engine oil for this purpose.
