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 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).

0B-10 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
EXHAUST SYSTEM
INSPECTION
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised
for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
IGNITION SYSTEM
SPARK PLUGS
REPLACEMENT
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “SPARK PLUG”
in Section 6F1.
FUEL SYSTEM
AIR CLEANER FILTER
INSPECTION
1) Remove air cleaner case clamps.
2) Take air cleaner filter out of case.
3) Check that filter is not excessively dirty, damaged or oily,
clean filter with compressed air from air outlet side of filter. WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust
system when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust sys-
tem should be performed when it is cool.

6-24 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
Fig. 1 for Step 5
Fig. 2 for Step 611 Check ignition spark as follows :
1) Disconnect injector couplers.
2) Remove spark plugs and connect them to
high tension cords.
3) Ground spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check if each spark plug
sparks.
Is it in good condition?Go to Step 12. Go to “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 6F1.
12 Check fuel injector for operation as follows :
1) Install spark plugs and connect injector con-
nectors.
2) Using sound scope (1), check operating
sound of each injector (2) when cranking
engine. See Fig. 6.
Was injector operating sound heard from all
injectors?Go to “ENGINE DIAGNO-
SIS TABLE”.Go to “DIAG. FLOW
TABLE B-1”. Step Action Yes No
