ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS
WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components (SDM, air bag (inflator)
modules and seat belt pretensioners). Be sure to follow the instructions.
Many of service procedures require disconnection of “AIR BAG” fuse and air bag (inflator) module(s) (driver
and passenger) from initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart
requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC).
The “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” must be the starting point of any air bag diagnostics. The
“AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” will verify proper “AIR BAG” warning lamp operation and will
lead you to the correct table to diagnose any air bag malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result
in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.
Never use air bag component parts from another vehicle.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93°C (200°F) (for example, during a paint baking pro-
cess), remove the air bag system components beforehand to avoid component damage or unintended sys-
tem activation.
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver and
passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was applied
(e.g., SDM is dropped, air bag (inflator) module is dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more, seat belt
pretensioner (retractor assembly) is dropped from a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or more), never attempt disassem-
bly or repair but replace it with a new one.
When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air bag (inflator) module connectors (driver and passen-
ger) and seat belt pretensioner connectors (driver and passenger) respectively.
When applying paint around the air bag system related parts, use care so that the harness or connector will
not be exposed to the paint mist.
Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after painting)
or flames. WARNING:
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both need repair, Suzuki recommends that the air
bag system be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag system activation.
Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard or any other on or around air bag system compo-
nents. Modifications can adversely affect air bag system performance and lead to injury.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or
unneeded air bag system repairs.
WARNING:
When performing service on or around air bag system components or air bag wiring, follow the proce-
dures listed in the following pages to temporarily disable the air bag system.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or
unneeded air bag system repairs.

tion of the vehicle’s glass or interior.
13) Notify all people in the immediate area that you intend to
deploy the air bag (inflator) module or activate the seat belt
pretensioner.
.
NOTE:
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or to activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the
air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of them
for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
