Crank Pin and Connecting Rod Bearings
Inspect crank pin for uneven wear or damage. Measure crank pin
for out-of-round or taper with a micrometer. If crank pin is dam-
aged, or out-of-round or taper is out of limit, replace crankshaft or
regrind crank pin to undersize and use undersize bearing.

(1.6528 – 1.6535 in.)
0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)41.732 – 41.750 mm
(1.6430 – 1.6437 in.)
Out-of-round and taper limit: 0.01 mm (0.0004 in.)
Rod bearing:
Inspect bearing shells for signs of fusion, pitting, burn or flaking
and observe contact pattern. Bearing shells found in defective
condition must be replaced.
Two kinds of rod bearing are available; standard size bearing and
0.25 mm undersize bearing. To distinguish them, 0. 25 mm under-
size bearing has the stamped number (US025) on its backside as
indicated in figure, but standard size one has no number.
Rod bearing clearance:
1) Before checking bearing clearance, clean bearing and crank
pin.
2) Install bearing in connecting rod and bearing cap.
3) Place a piece of gaging plastic (1) to full width of crankpin as
contacted by bearing (parallel to crankshaft), avoiding oil hole.
4) Install rod bearing cap (1) to connecting rod.
When installing cap, be sure to point arrow mark (2) on cap to
crankshaft pulley side (3), as shown in figure. After applying
engine oil to rod bolts, tighten cap nuts to specified torque. DO
NOT turn crankshaft with gaging plastic installed.

[INTERMITTENT TROUBLES]
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal
and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a diagnostic trouble
code representing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and
has gone. In such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced
unnecessarily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instruc-
tions given below when checking by using “Diagnostic Flow
Table”.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or malfunction indicator lamp indicate a
trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what malfunction indicator lamp and / or output of diag-
nostic output terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.
There are cases where output of diagnostic output terminal and /
or Suzuki scan tool indicate a diagnostic trouble code represent-
ing a trouble which occurred only temporarily and has gone. In
such case, it may occur that good parts are replaced unnecessar-
ily. To prevent such accident, be sure to follow instructions given
below when checking by using “Diagnostic Flow Table”.
* When trouble can be identified, it is not an intermittent one:
Check coil antenna, ignition key, wires and each connection
and if they are all in good condition, substitute a known-good
ECM and recheck.
* When trouble can not be identified but output of diagnostic out-
put terminal and / or Suzuki scan tool indicate a trouble code:
Diagnose trouble by using that code No. and if ignition key, coil
antenna, wires and each connection are all in good condition,
turn OFF ignition switch and then ON.
Then check what Suzuki scan tool and / or output of diagnostic out-
put terminal indicate.
Only when they indicate trouble code again, substitute a known-
good ECM or Immobilizer Control Module and check again.
If they indicate not trouble code but normal code, it means that an
intermittent trouble did occur and has gone. In this case, check
wires and connections carefully again.
