Flow table
Step Action Yes No
1 Turn ON ignition switch (but engine at stop) and
check malfunction indicator lamp.
Does lamp light up?Go to step 2. A trouble has occurred
at some place. Repair
it referring to
MALFUNCTION INDI-
CATOR LAMP
(“CHECK ENGINE”
LAMP) CHECK in
DIAGNOSIS of Sec-
tion 6.
2 Check 4WD switch circuit.
Turn ignition switch ON and check that voltage
between terminal C51-3-7 and terminal C51-3-17
(ground) is as follows.
 When transfer shift lever is in N or 2H : 10 – 14 V
 When transfer shift lever is in 4L or 4H : 0 – 1 V
Is the check result satisfactory?Go to step 3. Check 4WD switch
(refer to Section 7A),
“BLK/ORN” and “BLK”
circuits of 4WD switch.
If OK, substitute a
known-good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.
3 Check power supply.
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage between C51-1-9 and C51-3-17
(ground). The check results should be as follows.
 When transfer shift lever is in N or 2H : 0 – 1 V
 When transfer shift lever is in 4L or 4H : 10 – 14 V
Is the check result satisfactory?Go to step 4. Check “RED” circuit. If
it is OK, substitute a
known-good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.
4 Check air pump assembly circuit.
1) Check for proper connection to air pump assem-
bly at all terminals.
2) Turn ignition switch ON.
3) Check voltage between C51-3-18 and C51-3-17
(ground). The check result should be as follows.
 When transfer shift lever is in 2H or N : 0 – 1 V
 When transfer shift lever is in 4L or 4H (more than
4 seconds after shifted to 4L or 4H) : 10 – 14 V
Is the check result satisfactory?Go to step 5. Check air pump
assembly referring to
“ON-VEHICLE SER-
VICE”, and then
“PNK” circuit.
If OK, substitute a
known-good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.
5 Check 4WD indicator lamp circuit.
1) Turn ignition switch ON.
2) Check voltage between E61-19 and C51-3-17
(ground). The check result should be as follows.
 When transfer shift lever is in 2H or N : 10 – 14 V
 When transfer shift lever is in 4L or 4H : 0 – 1 V
Is the check result satisfactory?4WD control system is
in good condition.Check “ORN/BLK” cir-
cuit (including indica-
tor lamp and
combination meter).
If OK, substitute a
known-good ECM
(PCM) and recheck.

3) Set dial gauge to mounting dummy and make 0 (zero)
adjustment on surface plate.
Special tool
(A) : 09900-20606
(B): 09926-78320
4) Place zero-adjusted mounting dummy and dial gauge set on
pinion mounting dummy and take measurement between
zero position and extended dial gauge measuring tip.
Special tool
(A) : 09900-20606
(B) : 09926-78311
(D) : 09922-76570
(F) : 09926-78311-002
5) Obtain adjusting shim thickness by using measured value by
dial gauge in previous step. NOTE:
When setting dial gauge to mounting dummy, tighten
screw lightly. Be careful not to overtighten it, which will
cause damage to dial gauge.
With dial gauge set, turn dummy back and force by
hand a couple of times and attain accurate 0 (zero)
adjustment.
It is desirable that short pointer indicates beyond 2 mm
when long one is at 0 (zero).
1. Surface plate
2. Screw
NOTE:
Repeat turning back and force of dummy and measure
distance as far as top surface of pinion dummy accu-
rately.
When dial gauge measuring tip extends from 0 (zero)
position, pointer turns counterclockwise.
Measured value may exceed 1 mm. Therefore, it is also
necessary to know reading of short pointer.

Assembling Unit
1) Place bearing outer races on their respective bearings.
Used left and right outer races are not interchangeable.
2) Install case assembly in carrier.
3) Install side bearing adjusters on their respective carrier,
making sure adjuster are threaded properly.
4) Align match marks (1) on cap and carrier. Screw in 2 side
bearing cap bolts 2 or 3 turns and press down bearing cap
by hand.
5) Tighten cap bolts (provisional torque).
Tightening torque
Bearing cap bolt (Provisional torque) (a) :
15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft)
6) Tighten both bearing adjusters (2) so as to obtain specified
gear backlash and at the same time, obtain preload of side
bearing.
Standard backlash
: 0.13 – 0.18 mm (0.005 – 0.007 in.)
Special tool
(A) : 09930-40120
(B) : 09930-40113
(C) : 09900-20701
NOTE:
If bearing cap does not fit tightly on carrier, side bearing
adjuster is not threaded properly. Reinstall adjuster.
NOTE:
Be sure to apply measuring tip of dial gauge at right
angles to convex side of tooth.
As a practical measure the following would be recom-
mended to obtain specified backlash and side bearing
preload at the same time.
–Obtain specified backlash by turning both adjusters
inward lightly.
–Tighten both adjusters further by one notch at a
time.
Measure at least 4 points on drive bevel gear periph-
ery.

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 FOREWORD of this manual.

WIRE COLOR SYMBOLS
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”).
The first symbol represents the base color of the wire (“GRN” in
the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the
stripe (“YEL” in the figure). Symbol Wire Color Symbol Wire Color
