When the welding or heating operation causes the
original galvanization or other anticorrosive materials
to be burnt, the interior and under-body panel sur-
faces must be cleaned.
Removal of residues of the burning should be carried
out carefully when the relevant place has boxtype
construction or has shape which limits the access to
the interior surfaces. In general, the following method
can be used satisfactorily for the removal of those res-
idues.Scrape the accessible places. If a standard putty knife
or scraper does not fit to the elevant place, consider
to use a more flexible scraper to a place narrowly en-
closed by sheet metals.
A jet of compressed air can remove most residues,
and is effective to limited areas.
However, this type of operation absolutely requires
eye protection.
BODY SERVICE 9-37
The metal service replacement parts (or assemblies)
are coated with electro-deposition primer.
For the proper adhesion of a paint, the following finish
process (refinish steps) becomes necessary.
1) Use wax or grease-removing solvent to clean the
part.
2) Use a wet or dry sand-paper (No. 400) to polish the
panel lightly. Do not polish it forcibly to produce any
scratch. Clean the part again.
3) If factory-applied primer coating is cut through to
the bare metal, apply metal conditioner to the bare
metal exposed to open air. As for method of use of
the metal conditioner, follow directions on the con-
tainer.
4) Apply primer-surfacer to the part completely dry
before starting sand-paper polishing. As for drying
time, follow directions advised on the primer-sur-
facer container.
5) Use a wet or dry sand-paper (No. 400) and water
to polish the panel lightly.
6) Wash the part again.
7) Apply color, coating to the part.
8) Different paints demand different drying methods.
Hence, follow directions advised on the pertinent
paint container.9) When lacquer coating (quick-drying paint coat-
ing) is applied, dry coated surface and polish it
with compound.
In the case of the melamine or acrylic coating,
compound polishing can be omitted after drying.
10) If the case of lacquer coating, wax should not be
applied to coated surface until the surface has
dried completely (for approx. two months).
Before replacing exterior parts or assemblies, check
paint conditions of all the covered or hidden interior
surfaces. If any rust scale is found at these places,
proceed as follows:
1) Use a proper wire brush, adhesive or liquid rust re-
moving agent to remove rust. As for the method of
use, follow directions advised for respecitve mate-
rials.
2) If necessary, wash parts with detergent, rinse, and
dry them.
3) Before installing exterior body parts, apply anticor-
rosive compound to all cleaner surfaces of exterior
body parts. Also, apply anticorrosive compound to
inner surfaces of exterior body parts to be
installed.

INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTIONS
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing. When a check for proper connection is requested in a diagnos-
tic flow table, perform careful check of suspect circuits for:
Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).
Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or the like is
prohibited.
Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.
Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace as a wire harness as-
sembly.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating termi-
nal included in the connector test adapter kit (special tool).
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.
Special Tool (Connector Test Adapter Kit)
(A): 09932-76010
Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor connection
by shaking it by hand lightly.
If any abnormal condition is found, change the wire harness as-
sembly or component parts with new ones.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
SERVICE AND DIAGNOSIS
WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components (SDM, air bag (inflator) mod-
ules and seat belt pretensioners). Be sure to follow the instructions.
WARNING:
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both need repair, Suzuki recommends that the air
bag system be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag system activation.
Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard or any other air bag system components. Modifications
can adversely affect air bag system performance and lead to injury.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or un-
needed air bag system repairs.
Many of service procedures require disconnection of ªAIR BAGº fuse and air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger) from initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic chart requests
it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
The ªAir Bag Diagnostic System Checkº must be the starting point of any air bag diagnostics. The ªAir Bag Diag-
nostic System Checkº will verify proper ªAIR BAGº warning lamp operation and will lead you to the correct chart
to diagnose any air bag malfunctions. Bypassing these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time, incor-
rect diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacements.
Never use air bag component parts from another vehicle.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93C (200F) (for example, during a paint baking process),
remove the air bag system components beforehand to avoid component damage or unintended system activa-
tion.
When servicing, if shocks may be applied (eg., dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 ft) or more) to air bag system
component parts, remove those parts beforehand.
When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner connec-
tors (driver and passenger) respectively.
When applying paint around the air bag system related parts, use care so that the harness or connector will not
be exposed to the paint mist.
Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after painting) or
flames.
WARNING:
When performing service on or around air bag system components or air bag wiring, follow the proce-
dures listed in the following pages to temporarily disable the air bag system. Refer to appropriate ser-
vice manual procedures. Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag system activa-
tion, personal injury or unneeded air bag system repairs.
