INSPECTION
4WD Control System
1) Install special tool to air hose connecting between air pump as-
sembly and differential (actuator) as shown in figure. Tighten ad-
justing screw of special tool as far as it stops. Close air check
side opening by using fuel hose as blind plug.
Special Tool
(A): 09918-18110
(B): 09367-04002
NOTE:
Use care not to bend any part of hose.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and shift transfer lever from 2H to 4H
range.
3) Check that motor starts running (a sound can be heard) within
1 second and it stops when gauge of special tool indicates speci-
fied pressure value.
Check also for air leakage.
Pressure specification:
30.0 ± 45.0 kPa (0.30 ± 0.45 kg / cm
2, 4.25 ± 6.40 psi)
4) Check that pressure value indicated on gauge of special tool
drops as soon as transfer lever is shifted to 2H position.
5) Start motor by shifting transfer lever to 4H position again. Loos-
en adjusting screw to lower pressure value on gauge. Motor
should start to run again and stop in about 4 seconds.
6) With the adjusting screw of special tool loosened, shift transfer
shift lever to N or 2H position and then 4L or 4H position.
Pump motor should stop about 10 seconds after motor starts to
run.

1) Disconnect air hose from pump assembly and install special tool
to air hose as shown in figure. Loosen adjusting screw of special
tool.
Special Tool
(A): 09918-18110
2) Connect compressor air hose to special tool.
Blow air and turn adjusting screw to obtain specified pressure.
Specified pressure: 30.0 kPa (0.3 kg / cm
2, 4.25 psi)
CAUTION:
Do not apply a pressure exceeding 200 kPa (2.0 kg / cm
2,
28.4 psi) which may cause damage to diaphragm.
3) With the vehicle lifted so that both of the front wheels are off the
ground, turn one of the front wheels by hand and check the other
wheel, which should act as described below.
When the pressure from compressor is applied to actuator:
The other front wheel should turn in the direction opposite to
the wheel being turned by hand.
When the pressure from compressor is not applied to actuator:
The other front wheel should remain stationary while the wheel
pushed by hand is turning.
If the result is not satisfactory, inspect differential assembly. Re-
fer to ªINSPECTIONº of SECTION 7E in UNIT REPAIR MANU-
AL.

DIFFERENTIAL (REAR) 7F-1
The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive
power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genu-
ine parts and specified torque is compulsory. Further,
because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure
between bevel pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lu-
bricate them by hypoid gear oil.

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 autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-vehicle Serviceº 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
ªLOCKº 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).
