Evacuating
Evacuating procedure
1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of
manifold gauge set (3) respectively as follows:
High Charging Hose (1) → High pressure charging valve (4)
on Discharge Hose
Low Charging Hose (2) → Low pressure charging valve (5)
on Suction Pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set (3) to
vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump (7), and then open discharge-side
valve (9) (Hi) of manifold gauge set (3).
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an indica-
tion on high pressure gauge (10).
When this occurs, open the other-side valve (8) (Lo) of the
set.
4) Approx. 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11) should
show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi) provid-
ing no leakage exists.
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 20
minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge indicates –10
kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), and then close
both valves (8), (9).
7) Stop vacuum pump (7). Disconnect center charging hose (6)
from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for charging refrig-
erant. CAUTION:
Do not evacuate before recovering refrigerant in system.
NOTE:
Whenever opened (exposed to atmospheric air), air con-
ditioning system must be evacuated by using a vacuum
pump. The A/C system should be attached with a mani-
fold gauge set, and should be evacuated for approx. 20
minutes.
NOTE:
If the system does not show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –
760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low pressure gauge.
Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of
leakage. In this case, repair the system before continu-
ing its evacuation.
If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no
leakage), continue evacuation.

STEP 2. DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC)/FREEZE FRAME DATA CHECK
First, check DTC, referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CHECK” in this section. If DTC is indicated,
record DTC and freeze frame data.
After that clear DTC referring to “DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE CLEARANCE” in this section. DTC indicates
malfunction that occurred in the system but does not indicate whether it exists now or it occurred in the past and
the normal condition has been restored now. To check which case applies, check the symptom in question
according to Step 5 and recheck DTC according to Step 6, 7.
Attempt to diagnose a trouble based on DTC in this step only or failure to clear the DTC (including pending DTC)
in this step will lead to incorrect diagnosis, trouble diagnosis of a normal circuit or difficulty in troubleshooting.
STEP 3. and 4. VISUAL INSPECTION
Be sure to perform visual check of the following items that support proper function of the engine.
STEP 5. TROUBLE SYMPTOM CONFIRMATION
Based on information obtained in Step 1 “CUSTOMER COMPLAINT ANALYSIS” and Step 2 “DTC/FREEZE
FRAME DATA CHECK”, confirm trouble symptoms. Also, reconfirm DTC according to “DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE” described in each “DTC FLOW TABLE”.NOTE:
For A/T vehicle, if only DTC P0705, P0715, P0720, P0741, P0743, P0751, P0753, P0756, P0758, or P1875
is indicated in this step, proceed to “DIAGNOSIS” in SECTION 7B1.

Evap canister purge system inspection
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Hoist vehicle so that all wheels rotate freely.
3) Set M/T in “Neutral” or A/T in “P” position and parking brake.
4) Disconnect purge hose (1) from EVAP canister.
5) Place finger against the end of disconnected hose (1) and
check that vacuum is not felt there when engine is running at
idle speed.
6) Release parking brake lever, set transfer in “2H” and M/T in
“1st” or A/T in “L”.
7) Also check that vacuum is felt when engine speed is
increased to higher than about 1,500 r/min. and keep it for 3
min. or more. If check result is not described in steps 5) and
7), check EVAP canister purge valve, wire harness and vac-
uum passage.
Vacuum passage inspection
Start engine and run it at idle speed. With finger placed against
vacuum nozzle (1), check that vacuum is applied.
If it is not applied, clean vacuum passage by blowing compressed
air.
WARNING:
Make sure that transfer is set to “2H” range position for
this check. If it is set to “4H” or “4L” position, front and
rear wheels turn at high speed and a very dangerous sit-
uation may occur.

Vacuum hose inspection
Check hoses for connection, leakage, clog and deterioration.
Replace as necessary.
Evap canister purge valve and its circuit inspection
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to DLC (1) with ignition switch
OFF and disconnect vacuum hoses from each pipe.
2) Turn ignition switch ON, clear DTC and select “MISC TEST”
mode on SUZUKI scan tool.
3) Check purge valve for operation and vacuum passage for
clog when valve is switched ON and OFF by using SUZUKI
scan tool.
If check result is not described, check vacuum hoses, purge
valve, wire harness and connections.
EVAP canister purge valve :
Valve OFF [A] : When blowing into hose “A”, air should
not come out of hose “B”.
Valve ON [B] : When blowing into hose “A”, air should
come out of hose “B”.
Evap canister purge valve inspection
1) With ignition switch OFF, disconnect coupler from canister
purge valve.
2) Check resistance between two terminals of EVAP canister
purge valve (1).
If resistance is as specified, proceed to next operation check.
If not, replace.
Resistance of EVAP canister purge valve :
28 – 35
Ω
ΩΩ Ω at 20°C (68°F)
3) Disconnect vacuum hoses from intake manifold and its EVAP
canister.
4) With coupler disconnected, blow into hose “A” (1). Air should
not come out of hose “B” (2).

hose?Faulty fuel pressure regu-
lator.Fuel leakage from injec-
tor, faulty fuel pump
