2000 SUZUKI SWIFT service

IMPORTANT
WARNING/CAUTION/NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its instructions carefully. To emphasize special information, the words
WARNING, CAUTION
and NOTE
have special meanings. Pay special attention to the messages highlighted by
these signal words.
WARNING:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in death or injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in vehicle damage.
NOTE:
Indicates special information to make maintenance easier or instructions clearer.
WARNING:
This service manual is intended for authorized Suzuki dealers and qualified service mechanics only.
Inexperienced mechanics or mechanics without the proper tools and equipment may not be able to
properly perform the services described in this manual.
Improper repair may result in injury to the mechanic and may render the vehicle unsafe for the driver
and passengers.
WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with a 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.
 If the air bag system and another vehicle system both need repair, Suzuki recommends that the air
bag system be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag system activation.
 Do not modify the steering wheel, instrument panel or any other air bag system component (on or
around air bag system components or wiring). Modifications can adversely affect air bag system
performance and lead to injury.
 If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93°C (200°F) (for example, during a paint baking
process), remove the air bag system components (air bag (inflator) modules, SDM and/or seat belt
with pretensioner) beforehand to avoid component damage or unintended activation.

(AIR BAG) SYSTEM
DIAGNOSIS
 When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
“DIAGNOSIS” in SECTION 10B. Bypassing these proce-
dures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diag-
nosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
 Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified
in this manual. WARNING:
 The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown
in the figure. When it is necessary to service (remove,
reinstall and inspect) these parts, be sure to follow
procedures described in SECTION 10B. Failure to fol-
low proper procedures could result in possible air bag
system activation, personal injury, damage to parts or
air bag system being unable to activate when neces-
sary.
 If the air bag system and another vehicle system both
need repair, SUZUKI recommends that the air bag sys-
tem be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag
system activation.
 Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any
other air bag system components. Modifications can
adversely affect air bag system performance and lead
to injury.
 If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over
93°C (200°F) (for example, during a paint baking pro-
cess), remove the air bag system components before-
hand to avoid component damage or unintended air
bag system activation.

WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger) and seat belt
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is very danger-
ous as the electric current from the tester may deploy the
air bag or activate the pretensioner.

0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
SERVICING AND HANDLING
WARNING:
Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“AIR BAG” fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s) from
initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
 For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator)
module, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make
sure the bag opening is pointed away from you. In
case of an accidental deployment, the bag will then
deploy with minimal chance of injury. Never carry the
air bag (inflator) module by the wires or connector on
the underside of the module. When placing a live air
bag (inflator) module on a bench or other surface,
always face the bag up, away from the surface. As the
live passenger air bag (inflator) module must be placed
with its bag (trim cover) facing up, place it on the work-
bench with a slit or use the workbench vise to hold it
securely at its lower mounting bracket. This is neces-
sary so that a free space is provided to allow the air
bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental
deployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
 Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator)
modules (driver and passenger). If disposal is neces-
sary, be sure to deploy them according to deployment
procedures described in SECTION 10B before dis-
posal.
 The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it
off before proceeding the work.
 After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction. As with many service
procedures, gloves and safety glasses should be
worn.
[A] : ALWAYS CARRY AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE WITH TRIM COVER (AIR BAG
OPENING) AWAY FROM BODY.
[B] : ALWAYS PLACE AIR BAG (INFLATOR) MODULE ON WORKBENCH WITH TRIM
COVER (AIR BAG OPENING) UP, AWAY FROM LOOSE OBJECTS.
1. Slit on workbench
2. Workbench vise
3. Lower mounting bracket

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-5
 Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under “REPAIR AND INSPECTION
REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT” in SECTION 10B.
 When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
 When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver
and passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was
applied, never attempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
 When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver and pas-
senger) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth. WARNING:
SDM
 For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature below 65°C
(150°F), without high humidity and away from electric noise.
 During service procedures, be very careful when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
Never strike or jar the SDM.
 Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and
mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow must be pointing toward the
front of the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
(If equipped)
 For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), without high humidity and away
from electric noise.
 Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connec-
tor of pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pre-
tensioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole or to put a seat belt pre-
tensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal injury
may result.
 Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (drive and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B before disposal.
 The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation
is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
 With many service procedures, gloves and safety
glasses should be worn to prevent any possible irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.
