1 1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect contact coil con-
nector located near the base of the steering column.
2) Check proper connection to contact coil at terminals
in “Q06” connector.
3) If OK then connect Special Tool (B) to contact coil
connector disconnected at step 1).
With ignition switch ON, is DTC B1025 current?Go to step 2. Go to step 3.
2 1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect Special Tool (B)
and SDM connector.
2) Measure voltage from “Q01-9” terminal to body
ground and from “Q01-10” terminal to body ground.
With ignition switch ON, are they 1 V or less?Substitute a known-
good SDM and
recheck.Repair short from
“GRN” or “GRN/RED”
wire circuit to power
circuit.
3 1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect Special Tool (B)
then reconnect contact coil connector located near
the base of the steering column.
2) Remove driver air bag (inflator) module from steering
wheel (Refer to DRIVER AIR BAG (INFLATOR)
MODULE in Section 3C1).
3) Check proper connection to driver air bag (inflator)
module at terminals in “Q05” connector.
4) If OK then connect Special Tool (B) to “Q05” connec-
tor.
With ignition switch ON, is DTC B1025 current?Ignition switch OFF.
Replace contact coil
assembly (Refer to
COMBINATION
SWITCH/CON-
TACT COIL AND
COMBINATION
SWITCH ASSEM-
BLY in Section
3C1).Ignition switch OFF.
Replace driver air
bag (inflator) module
(Refer to DRIVER
AIR BAG (INFLA-
TOR) MODULE in
Section 3C1).
NOTE:
Upon completion of inspection and repair work, perform following items.
Reconnect all air bag system components, ensure all components are properly mounted.
Clear diagnostic trouble codes (Refer to DTC CLEARANCE), if any.
Repeat AIR BAG DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM CHECK to confirm that the trouble has been corrected.

AIR BAG SYSTEM 10B-49
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.

10B-50 AIR BAG SYSTEM
Disabling air bag system
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle's wheels (front tires) and
pointing straight ahead.
2) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” position and remove key.
3) Remove “AIR BAG” fuse from “AIR BAG” fuse box (1).
4) Disconnect Yellow connector (2) of contact coil and combina-
tion switch assembly.
a) Release locking of lock lever.
b) After unlocked, disconnect to connector.
5) Pull out glove box while pushing its stopper from both right
and left sides and disconnect Yellow connector (1) of pas-
senger air bag (inflator) module.
a) Release locking of lock lever.
b) After unlocked, disconnect to connector.
Enabling air bag system
1) Turn ignition switch to “LOCK” and remove key.
2) Connect Yellow connector (1) of contact coil and combination
switch assembly, and be sure to lock connector with lock
lever.
a) Connect connector.
b) Lock connector with lock lever.
NOTE:
With “AIR BAG” fuse removed and ignition switch ON,
“AIR BAG” warning lamp will be ON.
This is normal operation and does not indicate an air bag
system malfunction.

Accident with or without deployment/activation - component inspections
Certain air bag and restraint system components must be inspected after any crash, whether the air bag system
activated or not.
Those components are:
•Steering column and shaft joints
–Check for length, damage and bend according to “CHECK-
ING STEERING COLUMN FOR ACCIDENT DAMAGE” in
Section 3C1.
•Steering column bracket and capsules
–Check for damage and bent.
•If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
•Steering wheel and driver air bag (inflator) module
–Check for damage or air bag (inflator) module fitness.
–Check trim cover (pad surface) for cracks.
–Check wire harness and connector for damage or tightness.
•If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace faulty
part.
•Contact coil and combination switch assembly
–Check wire harness and connectors for damage or tight-
ness.
–Check contact coil case for damage.
•If any faulty condition is found in above checks, replace.
