2000 SUZUKI SWIFT SF310 Service Workshop Manual

1. Looseness of crimping
2. Open
3. Thin wire (single strand of wire)
Check contact tension by
inserting and removing just
for once
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-13
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of the circuit be-
ing checked for contact tension of its female terminal.
Check each terminal visually for poor contact (possibly caused
by dirt, corrosion, rust, entry of foreign object, etc.).
At the same time, check to make sure that each terminal is
locked in the connector fully.
4) Using continuity check or voltage check procedure described in
the following page, check the wire harness for open circuit and
poor connection with its terminals. Locate abnormality, if any.
Continuity Check
1) Measure resistance between connector terminals at both ends
of the circuit being checked (between A-1 and C-1 in the figure).
If no continuity is indicated (infinity or over limit), that means that
the circuit is open between terminals A-1 and C-1.
2) Disconnect the connector included in the circuit (connector-B in
the figure) and measure resistance between terminals A-1 and
B-1.
If no continuity is indicated, that means that the circuit is open
between terminals A-1 and B-1. If continuity is indicated, there
is an open circuit between terminals B-1 and C-1 or an ab-
normality in connector-B.
Voltage Check
If voltage is supplied to the circuit being checked, voltage check can
be used as circuit check.
1) With all connectors connected and voltage applied to the circuit
being checked, measure voltage between each terminal and
body ground.

1. Other parts
1. To other parts
2 V voltage drop
0A-14 GENERAL INFORMATION
If measurements were taken as shown in the figure at the left and
results were as listed below, it means that the circuit is open be-
tween terminals B-1 and A-1.
Voltage Between:
C-1 and body ground: Approx. 5 V
B-1 and body ground: Approx. 5 V
A-1 and body ground: 0 V
Also, if measured values were as listed below, it means that there
is a resistance (abnormality) of such level that corresponds to the
voltage drop in the circuit between terminals A-1 and B-1.
Voltage Between:
C-1 and body ground: Approx. 5 V
B-1 and body ground: Approx. 5 V
A-1 and body ground: Approx. 3 V
SHORT CIRCUIT CHECK (wire harness to ground)
1) Disconnect negative cable from battery.
2) Disconnect connectors at both ends of the circuit to be checked.
NOTE:
If the circuit to be checked is connected to other parts, dis-
connect all connectors of those parts.
Otherwise, diagnosis will be misled.
3) Measure resistance between terminal at one end of circuit (A-1
terminal in figure) and body ground. If continuity is indicated, it
means that there is a short to ground between terminals A-1 and
C-1 of the circuit.
4) Disconnect the connector included in circuit (connector B) and
measure resistance between A-1 and body ground.
If continuity is indicated, it means that the circuit is shorted to the
ground between terminals A-1 and B-1.

1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-15
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing, although a sticking relay or solenoid can occasionally be at
fault. When checking it for proper connection, perform careful
check of suspect circuits for:

Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).

Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact. However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or
the like is prohibited.

Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating ter-
minal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.

Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor connection
by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condition is found,
repair or replace.

Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermittent
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.

Wiring broken inside the insulation. This condition could cause
continuity check to show a good circuit, but if only 1 or 2 strands
of a multi-strand-type wire are intact, resistance could be far too
high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace.

0A-16 GENERAL INFORMATION
PRECAUTION FOR INSTALLING MOBILE
COMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB (Citi-
zens-Band)-radio or cellular-telephone, be sure to observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control
system.

Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s elec-
tronic control unit.

Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in.) away from
electronic control unit and its wire harnesses.

Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.

Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.

PRECAUTION IN SERVICING FULL-TIME 4WD VEHICLE
When performing any of the following types of work, be sure to make the vehicle as front wheel drive by cutting
transmission of driving force to the rear wheels. Otherwise, rear wheels are driven and vehicle accidents, damage
and personal injury may result.
SWITCHING FROM 4WD TO 2WD
Set 4WD / 2WD select lever located at lower side of transfer driven
case to 2WD as follows.
1) Loosen transfer lock bolt.
2) Push in shift fork shaft fully.
3) With shift fork shaft pushed in, tighten transfer lock bolt.
Tightening Torque

NOTE:

If shift fork shaft is hard to move, try to move it while turning
it to the right and left little by little. Do the same when setting
back to 4WD after servicing vehicle.

Upon completion of servicing, always set shift fork shaft
back to 4WD.

VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS
WARNING:

Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending of what part to be removed.

Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.

When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up the
vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.

Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.
