INSPECTION
STEPACTIONYESNO
1Was “ENGINE DIAG. FLOW TABLE” performed?Go to Step 2.Go to “ENGINE
DIAG. FLOW
TABLE“.
2Is there DTC other than Fuel system (DTC P0171 / P0172)
and misfire (DTC P0300-P0304)?Go to applicable
DTC Diag.
Flow Table.Go to Step 3.
3Check Ignition System.
1) Remove spark plugs and check them for;
Air gap: 1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.) See Fig. 1.
Carbon deposits
Insulator damage
Plug type
If abnormality is found, adjust, clean or replace.
2) Disconnect all injector connectors. See Fig. 2.
3) Connect spark plugs to high tension cords and then ground
spark plugs.
4) Crank engine and check that each spark plug sparks.
Are above check results satisfactory?Go to Step 4.Check ignition
system parts
(Refer to Section
6F1).
4Check Fuel Pressure (Refer to Section 6E2 for details).
1) Release fuel pressure from fuel feed line.
2) Install fuel pressure gauge. See Fig. 3.
3) Check fuel pressure.
With fuel pump operating
and engine at stop : 270 – 310 kPa, 2.7 – 3.1 kg / cm
2,
38.4 – 44.0 psi.
At specified idle speed : 200 – 240 kPa, 2.0 – 2.4 kg / cm
2,
28.4 – 34.1 psi.
Is measured value as specified?
Go to Step 5.Go to Diag. Flow
Table B-3 fuel
pressure check.
5Check Fuel Injectors and Circuit.
1) Using sound scope (1) or such, check operating sound of
each injector (2) when engine is running. Cycle of
operating sound should very according to engine speed.
See Fig 4.
If no sound or an unusual sound is heard, check injector
circuit (wire or coupler) or injector.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect a fuel injector
connector.
3) Check for proper connection to fuel injector at each
terminal. See Fig. 5.
4) If OK, then check injector resistance.
Injector Resistance: 12 – 13 ohm at 20C (68F)
5) Carry out steps 1) and 3) on each injector.
6) Check each injector for injected fuel volume referring to
Section 6E2. See Fig. 6.
Injected Fuel Volume: 38 – 48 cc / 15 sec (1.28 / 1.34 –
1.62 / 1.69 US / Imp. oz / 15 sec)
7) Check each injector for fuel leakage after injector closed.
Fuel Leakage: Less than 1 drop / min.
Is check result in step 1) and 3) to 7) satisfactory?Go to Step 6.Check injector
circuit or replace
fuel injector(s).

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 autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” 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 Precau-
tions” 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).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual men-
tioned in FOREWORD of this manual.
