2000 SUZUKI SWIFT engine overheat

6-82 ENGINE GENERAL INFORMATION AND DIAGNOSIS
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON.
3) Check vehicle and environmental condition for :
–Altitude (barometric pressure) : 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Ambient temp. : –10°C, 14°F or higher
–Intake air temp. : 70°C, 158°F or lower
–Engine coolant temp. : – 10 – 110°C, 14 – 230°F
4) Start engine and keep it at idle for 2 min. or more.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
6) If DTC is not detected at idle, consult usual driving based on information obtained in “Customer complaint
analysis” and “Freeze frame data check”.
INSPECTION
DTC DETECTING CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE
Engine under other than high revolution condition
Not on rough road
Engine speed changing rate (Below specified value)
Manifold absolute pressure changing rate (Below
specified value)
Throttle opening changing rate (Below specified
value)
Misfire rate per 200 or 1000 engine revolutions (how
much and how often crankshaft revolution speed
changes) is higher than specified valueEngine overheating
Vacuum leaks (air inhaling) from air intake system
Ignition system malfunction (spark plug(s), high-
tension cord(s), ignition coil assembly)
Fuel pressure out of specification
Fuel injector malfunction (clogged or leakage)
Engine compression out of specification
Valve lash (clearance) out of specification
Manifold absolute pressure sensor malfunction
Engine coolant temp. sensor malfunction
PCV valve malfunction
EVAP control system malfunction
EGR system malfunction
NOTE:
Among different types of random misfire, if misfire occurs at cylinders 1 and 4 or cylinders 3 and 2
simultaneously, it may not possible to reconfirm DTC by using the following DTC confirmation proce-
dure. When diagnosing the trouble of DTC P0300 (Random misfire detected) of the engine which is
apparently misfiring, even if DTC P0300 cannot be reconfirmed by using the following DTC confirma-
tion procedure, proceed to the following Diag. Flow Table.
WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester.
CAUTION:
For iridium spark plugs, do not adjust air gap or clean.
Step Action Yes No

Dragging brakes Adjust brake.
Slipping clutch Adjust or replace.
Poor charge battery Check and replace as necessary.
Poor generation generator Check and repair.
ECT sensor faulty Check and replace as necessary.
Radiator cooling fan relay No.2 and/or No.3
faultyCheck and replace as necessary.
ECM faulty Check and replace as necessary.
Wiring or grounding faulty Repair and necessary.
Equipped with too much electric load part Dismount.
Radiator cooling fan motor faulty Check and replace as necessary.
Engine overheats
(It is in case that radia-
tor fan won’t operates)Fuse blown Check “RADTR fan” fuse and
check for short circuit to ground.

Radiator cooling fan motor faulty Check and replace as necessary.
Wiring or grounding faulty Repair as necessary
ECM faulty Check and replace as necessary.

6B-12 ENGINE COOLING
COOLING WATER PIPES OR HOSES
REMOVAL
1) Drain cooling system.
2) To remove these pipes or hoses, loosen clamp on each
hose and pull hose end off.
INSTALLATION
Install removed parts in reverse order of removal procedure, not-
ing the following.
Tighten each clamp securely.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant referring to “COOL-
ING SYSTEM REFILL”.
THERMOSTAT
REMOVAL
1) Drain cooling system by loosening drain plug of radiator
referring to “COOLING SYSTEM DRAINING”.
2) Remove air cleaner assembly and resonator referring to sec-
tion 6A1
3) Remove intake manifold referring to Section 6A1.
4) Remove generator referring to Section 6H.
5) Disconnect water hose (1) and heater hose (2) from each
pipe.
6) Remove thermostat case (3) with thermostat cap (4) and
water inlet pipe (5).
7) Remove water inlet pipe with thermostat cap from thermo-
stat case.
8) Remove thermostat.
INSPECTION
Make sure that air bleed valve (1) of thermostat is clean.
Should this valve be clogged, engine would tend to overheat.
Check to make sure that valve seat is free from foreign mat-
ters which would prevent valve from seating tight.
Check thermostat seal (2) for breakage, deterioration or any
other damage.

ENGINE COOLING 6B-13
Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows :
a) Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b) Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
: 80 – 84°C (176 – 183°F)
Temperature at which valve become fully open
: 95 – 97°C (203°F)
Valve lift
: More than 8 mm at 95°C (203°F)
If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be replaced
with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about overcool-
ing or overheating tendency.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure for installation noting the following
points.
When positioning thermostat (1) on thermostat case (2), be
sure to position it so that air bleed valve (3) comes at posi-
tion as shown in figure.
Use new O-rings when installing.
Adjust water pump belt tension referring to WATER PUMP/
GENERATOR DRIVE BELT TENSION INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT in this section.
Adjust A/C compressor belt tension (if equipped) referring to
Section 1B.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant referring to “COOL-
ING SYSTEM REFILL”.
Verify that there is no coolant leakage at each connection.
