10B-8 AIR BAG SYSTEM
INTERMITTENTS AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittents are caused by faulty electrical connections or
wiring. When a check for proper connection is requested in a
diagnostic flow table, 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 terminal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or the like
is prohibited.
Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to mois-
ture and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal ori-
entation with the component or mating connector.
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully
to ensure good contact tension by using the corresponding
mating terminal included in the connector test adapter kit
(special tool).
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact
tension or replace.
Special tool
(A) : 09932-76010 (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor con-
nection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condi-
tion is found, change the wire harness assembly or
component parts with new ones.
Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermit-
tent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of
the vehicle.
Wire broken inside the insulation. This condition could cause
a 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 as a wire harness
assembly.

NOTE:
When 2 or more codes are indicated, the lowest numbered code will appear first.
Current DTC and history DTC can be identified by lighting and flashing of “AIR BAG” warning lamp
as follows. However, if a multiple number of DTC’s are set an even one of them is a current DTC,
“AIR BAG” warning lamp remains on after ignition switch is turned ON. Therefore, it is not possible
to identify any of them as to whether it is a current one or a history one. (But use of SUZUKI scan
tool will make identification possible.)
Current DTC is set.
(Abnormality exists at present.)History DTC is set only.

CAUTION:
Be sure to perform AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK before starting diagnosis according to
flow table.
When measurement of resistance or voltage is required in this table, use a tester along with a cor-
rect terminal adapter from special tool (Connector test adapter kit).
When a check for proper connection is required, refer to INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNEC-
TIONS in this section.
If there is open circuit in the air bag wire harness, connector or terminal is found damaged, replace
the wire harness, connector and terminal as an assembly.

HANDLING AND STORAGE
SDM
Never attempt disassembly of SDM.
When storing SDM, select a place where neither high tem-
perature nor high humidity is anticipated and oil, water and
dust are kept off.
If SDM has been dropped, replace it with a new one.
If installation part of SDM was damaged, repair that part
completely before reinstallation.
All SDM and mounting bracket fasteners must be carefully
torqued and the arrow must be pointed toward the front of
the vehicle to ensure proper operation of the air bag system.
WARNING:
Never power up air bag system when SDM is not rigidly
attached to the vehicle. Otherwise, personal injury may
result.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet
deployment conditions, the SDM must not be used. Refer
to “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” when
checking the SDM.
AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-53
REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER AN ACCIDENT
ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYMENT/ACTIVA-
TION - COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
The following components must be replaced.
Driver and passenger air bag (inflator) modules
Driver and passenger seat belt pretensioners
SDM
–Replace with new one as an assembly.
ACCIDENT WITH OR WITHOUT DEPLOY-
MENT/ACTIVATION - COMPONENT INSPEC-
TIONS
Certain air bag system components must be inspected after any
crash, whether the air bag system activated or not.
Those components are :
Steering column (1) and shaft joints
–Check for length, damage and bend according to “CHECK-
ING STEERING COLUMN FOR ACCIDENT DAMAGE” in
SECTION 3C.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
Steering column bracket (2) and capsules (3)
–Check for damage and bent.
If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part. CAUTION:
All air bag system components, including the electrical harness (component mounting points),
must be inspected after an accident. If any components are damaged or bent, they must be
replaced even if air bag system activation did not occur.
Never use air bag system parts from another vehicle.
Do not attempt to service the parts below. Service of these parts is by replacement only.
–Driver/Passenger air bag (inflator) module, Driver/Passenger seat belt pretensioner
–SDM
–Contact coil and combination switch assembly
–Air bag wire harness
Proper operation of the air bag system requires that any repairs to the vehicle structure return it to
its original production configuration.
CAUTION:
After detecting one time of such collision as to meet deployment conditions, the SDM must not be
used. Refer to “AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK” when checking the SDM.
