6E2-36 ENGINE AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (SEQUENTIAL MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION FOR H27 ENGINE)
Engine coolant temperature sensor (ECT sensor)
REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
2) Drain cooling system.
3) Disconnect coupler from ECT sensor (1).
4) Remove ECT sensor from water outlet cap (2).
INSPECTION
Immerse temperature sensing part of ECT sensor in water and
measure resistance between sensor terminals while heating
water gradually.
If measured resistance doesn’t shown such characteristic as
shown in the figure, replace ECT sensor.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure noting the followings.
•Clean mating surfaces of sensor and water outlet cap (1).
•Use new O-ring.
•Tighten ECT sensor to specified torque.
Tightening torque
ECT sensor (a) : 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft)
•Connect coupler to sensor securely.
•Refill cooling system.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
