The ignition system used for this vehicle has an elec-
tronic ignition control system and consists of the fol-
lowing parts.
ECM
It detects the engine condition through the signals
from the sensors, determines the most suitable igni-
tion timing and time for electricity to flow to the pri-
mary coil and sends a signal to the power unit.
Power unit (Igniter)
It turns ON and OFF the primary current of the igni-
tion coil according to the signal from ECM.
Ignition coil
When the ignition coil primary current is turned OFF,
a high voltage is induced in the secondary winding.
Distributor
It distributes a high voltage current to each plug.High-tension cords and spark plugs.
CMP sensor (Camshaft position Sensor)
Located in the distributor, it converts the crank angle
into voltage variation and sends it to ECM. For its
details, refer to Section 6E1.
TP sensor, ECT sensor and MAP sensor
For their details, refer to Section 6E.
In electronic ignition control system, the ECM is pro-
grammed for the best ignition timing under every en-
gine condition. Receiving signals which indicate the
engine condition from the sensors, e.g., engine revo-
lution, intake air pressure, coolant temperature, etc.,
it selects the most suitable ignition timing from its
memory and operates the power unit.
Thus ignition timing is controlled to yield the best en-
gine performance.
For more information, refer to Section 6E1.

IGNITION SYSTEM
WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with a Supplemental Inflatable Restraint Air Bag System:
Service on or around Air Bag System Components or Wiring must be performed only by an authorized
Suzuki dealer. Please observe all WARNINGS and SERVICE PRECAUTIONS in Section 9J under “On-
Vehicle Service” and the Air Bag System Component and Wiring Location view in Section 9J before
performing service on or around Air Bag System Components or Wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS
could result in unintended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in severe injury.
SDM can maintain sufficient voltage to cause a deployment of air bags for up to 10 seconds after igni-
tion switch is turned to “LOCK” position, battery is disconnected or fuse powering SDM is removed.
Work must be started after 15 seconds from the time.

DISMOUNTING
1) Disconnect distributor lead coupler.
2) Remove distributor cap screws and cap.
3) Remove distributor flange bolts.
4) Pull out distributor housing assembly.
REMOUNTING
NOTE:
Before installing distributor, check to make sure that its
O-ring is in good condition.
If new O-ring is installed, apply oil.
1) Install distributor without cap to camshaft.
Fit the dogs of distributor coupling into the slots of camshaft,
when installing. The dogs of distributor coupling are offset.
Therefore, if the dogs can not shaft by 180 degree and try again.
2) Lightly install flange bolts and prepare for ignition timing adjust-
ment.
3) Check to make sure that rotor is in good condition.
4) Inspect distributor cap and clean or replace as required.
5) Make sure that distributor cap seal is placed properly and install
cap, and then fasten it with screws.
6) Connect distributor lead coupler.
7) Check and adjust ignition timing as previously outlined.

6F1-2 IGNITION SYSTEM (SFI FOR G13)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ignition system is an electronic (distributorless) ignition system. It consists of the parts as described below and
has an electronic ignition control system.
ECM (PCM)
It detects the engine and vehicle conditions through the signals from the sensors, determines the most suitable
ignition timing and time for electricity to flow to the primary coil and sends a signal to the ignitor (power unit) in
the ignition coil assembly.
Ignition coil assembly (including an ignitor)
The ignition coil assembly has a built-in ignitor which turns ON and OFF the current flow to the primary coil accord-
ing to the signal from ECM (PCM). When the current flow to the primary coil is turned OFF, a high voltage is in-
duced in the secondary coil.
High tension cords and spark plugs.
CMP sensor (Camshaft position sensor) and CKP sensor (Crankshaft position sensor)
Using signals from these sensors, ECM (PCM) identifies the specific cylinder whose piston is in the compression
stroke and detects the crank angle.
TP sensor, ECT sensor, MAP sensor and other sensors / switches
Refer to section 6E2 for details.
Although this ignition system does not have a distributor, it has two ignition coil assemblies (one is for No.1 and
No.4 spark plugs and the other is for No.2 and No.3 spark plugs). When an ignition signal is sent from ECM (PCM)
to the ignitor in the ignition coil assembly for No.1 and No.4 spark plugs, a high voltage is induced in the secondary
coil and that passes through the high-tension cords and causes No.1 and No.4 spark plugs to spark simultaneously.
Likewise, when an ignition signal is sent to the ignitor in the other ignition coil assembly, No.2 and No.3 spark plugs
spark simultaneously.
