ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) With engine stopped, remove blind plug hose from intake man-
ifold and connect special tool (vacuum gauge and joint) to va-
cated threaded hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-67311
3) Run engine at specified idle speed (see Section 6E), and read
vacuum gauge. Vacuum should be within the following specifi-
cation.
Vacuum specification: 52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cm
.Hg,
15.7 – 19.7 in
.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, apply sealant to thread of blind plug and install
it to intake manifold.
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the followings.
Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level hole on oil level
gauge.
Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.
Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Using special tool (Oil filter wrench), remove oil filter.
2) After removing oil filter, remove oil pressure switch (1) from cylin-
der block.

3) Install special tool (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-77311
(B): 09915-78211
NOTE:
At this time, be very careful not to exert force to where
heated oxygen sensor and its lead wire are connected.
4) Reinstall oil filter.
5) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 r / min and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specifications: 270 – 370 kPa
(2.7 – 3.7 kg / cm
2,
38.4 – 52.6 psi) at
4,000 r / min (rpm)
7) After checking oil pressure, stop engine and remove oil filter
and oil pressure gauge.
8) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (1), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with a sealing tape and tighten switch to speci-
fied torque.
NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.
Tightening Torque
(a): 14 N
.m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
9) After oiling oil filter “O” ring (rubber gasket), screw oil filter on
oil filter stand by hand until filter “O” ring contacts mounting sur-
face.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position where filter “O” ring first contacts
mounting surface.
10) Tighten filter (1) 3 / 4 (270) turn from the point of contact with
mounting surface using an oil filter wrench.
Special Tool
(C): 09915-47310
CAUTION:
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that oil filter is tight,
but do not overtighten it.
11) After installing oil filter, start engine and check oil filter for oil
leakage.

ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift le-
ver in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
2) With engine stopped, disconnect EVAP canister purge valve
hose from intake manifold and connect 3-way joint, hoses and
special tools (vacuum gauge and joint) between intake manifold
and vacuum hose disconnected.
Special Tool
(A): 09915-67311
(B): 09918-08210
SUZUKI GENUINE PARTS
(C): Hose 09343-03087
(D): 3-way joint 09367-04002
3) Run engine at specified idle speed, and read vacuum gauge.
Vacuum should be within the following specification.
Vacuum specification (at sea level):
52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cmHg, 15.7 – 19.7 in.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, connect vacuum hose to intake surge tank.
