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 description (items) not found in this section refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E2 first.
All brake fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital
parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified
during reassembly to assure proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result
in extensive damage and weakening of the metal.

5E2-4 ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
ABS Hydraulic Unit/control Module Assembly
ABS control module is a component of ABS hydraulic unit/control
module assembly and has the following functions.
Self-diagnosis function
ABS control module diagnoses conditions of the system compo-
nent parts (whether or not there is any abnormality) all the time
and indicates the results (warning of abnormality occurrence and
DTC) through the ABS warning lamp as described below.
1) When ignition switch is turned ON, ABS warning lamp lights
for 2 seconds to check its bulb and circuit.
2) When no abnormality has been detected (the system is in
good condition), ABS warning lamp turns OFF after 2 sec-
onds.
3) When an abnormality in the system is detected, ABS warn-
ing lamp lights and the area where that abnormality lies is
stored in the memory of EEPROM in ABS control module.
4) When Diag. switch terminal (2) of diagnosis connector (1)
(monitor connector) is grounded, the abnormal area is output
as DTC. It is indicated by flashing of ABS warning lamp.
(Refer to the table below.)
5) For procedure to clear all DTC’s, refer to “DIAGNOSTIC
TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section.
Also ABS control module turns ON EBD warning lamp (brake
warning lamp) depending on the trouble that detected by the
module and EBD warning lamp does not indicate DTC.
Fail-safe function
When an abnormality occurs (an abnormal DTC is detected),
ABS control module turns OFF the fail-safe relay which supplies
power to ABS hydraulic unit. Thus, with ABS not operating,
brakes function just like the brake system of the vehicle without
ABS.

b) Problem Symptom Confirmation
Check if what the customer claimed in “CUSTOMER QUESTIONNAIRE” is actually found in the vehicle
and if that symptom is found, whether it is identified as a failure. (This step should be shared with the cus-
tomer if possible.) Check warning lamps related to brake system referring to “EBD WARNING LAMP
(BRAKE WARNING LAMP) CHECK” and “ABS WARNING LAMP CHECK” in this section.
c) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check, Record and Clearance
Perform “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK” procedure in this section, record it and then clear it
referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared cannot be detected (indicated) again
when the ignition switch is turned ON, attempt to diagnose the trouble based on the DTC recorded in this
step may mislead the diagnosis or make diagnosing difficult. Proceed to Step 2) to check control module for
proper self-diagnosis function.
If the malfunction DTC which was once displayed and then cleared can be detected (indicated) again when
ignition switch is turned ON, proceed to Step 3).
2) DRIVING TEST
Test drive the vehicle at 40 km/h for more than a minute and check if any trouble symptom (such as abnor-
mal lighting of ABS warning light) exists.
If the malfunction DTC is confirmed again at ignition switch ON, driving test as described in above is not nec-
essary. Proceed to Step 3).
3) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK
Recheck diagnostic trouble code referring to “DTC CHECK” as shown in the following page.
4) DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE FLOW TABLE
According to Diagnostic flow table for the diagnostic trouble code confirmation in Step 3), locate the cause of
the trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness, connector, actuator assembly or other part and repair
or replace faulty parts.
5)“DIAGNOSIS” IN “BRAKES” SECTION
Check the parts or system suspected as a possible cause referring to “DIAGNOSIS” in “BRAKES” section
and based on symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptom obtained through Steps 1)-a, 1)-b and 2) and
repair or replace faulty parts, if any).
6) CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEM
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“INTERMITTENT TROUBLE” in “GENERAL INFORMATION” section and related circuit of trouble code
recorded in Step 1)-c.
7) FINAL CONFIRMATION TEST
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the ABS is free from any abnormal conditions. If what has
been repaired is related to the malfunction DTC, clear the DTC once and perform test driving and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.

ABS Warning Lamp Check
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check that ABS warning lamp (1) comes ON for about 2 sec-
onds and then goes off.
If any faulty condition is found, advance to Diagnostic Flow
Table-A, B, C or D.
EBD Warning Lamp (Brake Warning Lamp)
Check
1) Turn ignition switch ON with parking brake applied.
2) Check that EBD warning lamp (brake warning lamp) (1) is
turned ON.
3) Release parking brake with ignition switch ON and check
that EBD warning lamp (brake warning lamp) goes off.
If it doesn’t go off, go to “TABLE-E” in this section.
NOTE:
Perform this check on a level place.
