NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any
time as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethyl-
ene glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze/Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corro-
sion protection and lubrication.
“Hard water”, if used, will foul up the cooling circuit by scale formation. Tap water available from
city water supply is the best available water, in a practical sense, for the cooling system. Distilled
water is ideal but is a luxury in most cases.

ifold.
Fuel delivery system includes fuel pump, delivery pipe, fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, etc.
Electronic control system includes ECM (PCM), various sensors and controlled devices.
Emission control system includes EGR, EVAP and PCV systems.

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.

Fluid level
LEVEL CHECK AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE
1) Stop vehicle and place it level.
2) Apply parking brake and place chocks against wheels.
3) With selector at P position, start engine.
4) Warm up engine till fluid temperature reaches normal oper-
ating temperature (70 – 80 °C (158 – 176 °F)). As a guide to
check fluid temperature, warm up engine till engine coolant
temperature meter indicated around 1 unit above “C” point.
5) Keep engine idling and shift selector slowly to “L” and back
to “P” position.
6) With engine idling, pull out dipstick, wipe it off with a clean
cloth and put it back into place.
7) Pull out dipstick again and check fluid level indicated on it.
Fluid level should be between FULL HOT and LOW HOT. if it
is below LOW HOT, add an equivalent of DEXRON
®-III up to
FULL HOT.
Fluid specification :
An equivalent of DEXRON
®-III
[A] : Shift the select lever with its button pushed in.
[B] : Shift the select lever without pushing its button.
NOTE:
DO NOT RACE ENGINE while checking fluid level, even
after the engine start.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Overfilling can causes foaming
and loss of fluid through breather. Then slippage and
transmission failure can result.
Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL HOT
requires 0.3 liters (0.64/0.53 US/lmp.pt).
If vehicle was driven under high load such as pulling a
trailer, fluid level should be checked about half an hour
after it is stopped.

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.
