SECTION 10B
AIR BAG SYSTEM
WARNING:

Service on or around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precautionsº under ªOn-Vehicle
Serviceº in this section 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 ren-
der the system inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.

The procedures in this section must be followed in the order listed to disable the air bag system tem-
porarily and prevent false diagnostic trouble codes from setting. Failure to follow procedures could
result in possible activation of the air bag system, personal injury or otherwise unneeded air bag sys-
tem repairs.
CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were re-
moved. 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 above condi-
tions are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

DIAGNOSIS
WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equipment
other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Checkº must always be the starting point of any air bag system diagnosis. The
ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Checkº checks for proper ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operation and checks for air bag
diagnostic trouble codes using the Tech-1 (scan tool) or on-board diagnosis function.

Current diagnostic trouble code ± Malfunction that are presently being detected.

History diagnostic trouble code ± All malfunction detected since the last time the history memory was cleared.
USE OF SPECIAL TOOLS
WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equipment
other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
You should be familiar with the tools listed under ªSpecial Toolsº in this section. You should be able to measure
voltage and resistance. You should be familiar with proper use of a scan tool such as the Tech-1 Diagnostic Com-
puter, Driver/Passenger Load Tool, Connector Test Adapter Kit and the Digital Multimeter.
Special Tool (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
(A): 09932-76010
This must be used whenever a diagnostic procedure requests
checking or probing a terminal.
Using the appropriate adapter in the special tool will ensure that no
damage to the terminal will occur from the multimeter probe, such
as spreading or bending.
The adapter will also give an idea of whether contact tension is suffi-
cient, helping to find an open or intermittent open due to poor termi-
nal contact.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-7
Special Tool (Air Bag Driver/Passenger Load Tool)
(B): 09932-75010
This tool is used only when called for in this section. It is used as
a diagnostic aid and safety device to prevent inadvertent air bag (in-
flator) module deployment and seat belt pretensioner activation.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case are electri-
cally functional and serve as resistive load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (ªAº: BASE OF COLUMN) is used to substitute
the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module and the contact coil
assembly when it is connected at the base of the column to the air
bag wire harness.
Another connector (ªBº: STEERING WHEEL) is used to substitute
the load of followings.

Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at the top of
the column to the contact coil assembly.

Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the
air bag harness connector for passenger air bag (inflator) module.

Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioner when it is connected
to air bag harness connector for driver and passenger seat belt
pretensioner.
The third connector (ªCº: PASSENGER INFLATOR) is not used.
By substituting the resistance of the load tool when called for, a de-
termination can be made as to whether an inflator circuit compo-
nent is causing system malfunction and which component is caus-
ing the malfunction.
The load tool should be used only when specifically called for in the
diagnostic procedures.

WARNING:
To avoid deployment when troubleshooting the air bag system, do not use electrical test equipment
such as a battery powered or AC powered voltmeter, ohmmeter, etc., or any type of electrical equipment
other than that specified in this manual. Do not use a non-powered probe type tester.
Instructions in this manual must be followed carefully, otherwise personal injury may result.
CAUTION:
The order in which diagnostic trouble codes are diagnosed is very important. Failure to diagnose the
diagnostic trouble codes in the order specified may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diag-
nosis and incorrect parts replacement.
The diagnostic procedures used in this section are designed to find and repair air bag system malfunctions.
To get the best results, it is important to use the diagnostic flow tables and follow the sequence listed below.
A. PERFORM THE ªAIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK FLOW TABLEº
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Check Flow Tableº must be the starting point of any air bag system diagnostics.
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Check Flow Tableº checks for proper ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operation, the
ability of the SDM to communicate through ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and whether air bag diagnostic trouble
codes exist.
B. REFER TO THE PROPER DIAGNOSTIC TABLE AS DIRECTED BY THE ªAIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM
CHECK FLOW TABLEº.
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Check Flow Tableº will lead you to the correct chart to diagnose any air bag
system malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis
and incorrect parts replacement.
C. REPEAT THE ªAIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK FLOW TABLEº AFTER ANY REPAIR OR DIAGNOS-
TIC PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN PERFORMED.
Performing the ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Check Flow Tableº after all repair or diagnostic procedures will en-
sure that the repair has been made correctly and that no other malfunctions exist.
