WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement 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 DIAGNOSIS in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service
on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS under PRECAUTIONS 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 unin-
tentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two condi-
tions 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).
NOTE:
Starting motor varies depending on specifications, etc. Therefore, be sure to check model and speci-
fication of the vehicle being serviced before replacing parts.

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).

6H-6 CHARGING SYSTEM
GENERATOR
Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of the fol-
lowing conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or
indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive spewing
of electrolyte from vents.
Noise from generator may be caused by loose drive pulley, loose
mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, defective diode, or defec-
tive stator.
CHARGING INDICATOR LAMP OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not mistake polarities of IG terminal and L terminal.
Do not create short circuit between IG and L terminals.
Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
Do not connect any load between L and E.
When connecting charger or booster battery to vehicle
battery, refer to this section describing battery charg-
ing.
B: Generator output (Battery terminal)
D: Dummy terminal
E: Ground
F: Field coil terminal
IG: Ignition terminal
L: Lamp terminal
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Charge light does not
light with ignition ON
and engine offFuse blown Check fuse.
Light burned out Replace light.
Wiring connection loose Tighten loose connection.
IC regulator or field coil faulty Check generator.
Poor contact between brush and slip ring Repair or replace.
Charge light does not go
out with engine running
(battery requires fre-
quent recharging)Drive belt loose or worn Adjust or replace drive belt.
IC regulator or generator faulty Check charging system.
Wiring faulty Repair wiring.

6H-8 CHARGING SYSTEM
3) Ground F terminal and start engine, then measure voltage at
B terminal as shown in left figure.
Voltage is higher than standard value
It is considered that generator itself is good but IC regulator
has been damaged, replace IC regulator.
Voltage is lower than standard value
Generator itself has problem, check the generator.
LOAD CHECK
1) Run engine at 2,000 rpm and turn on head light and heater
motor.
2) Measure current and if it is less than 20 A repair or replace
generator.
OVERCHARGED BATTERY
1) To determine battery condition, refer to Battery section.
2) If obvious overcharge condition exists as evidenced by
excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure generator B ter-
minal voltage at engine 2000 rpm.
3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value, disas-
semble generator.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not grounded,
replace IC regulator. Then check field coil for grounds and
shorts.
