Refrigerant Recovery, Evacuating and Charging
Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charging
WARNING:
Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately
–6 °C (21 °F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause
a serious injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear gog-
gles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eyes(s), consult a doctor immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to
splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high temper-
ature is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazardous
to health.

Power Steering Fluid Level Check
With engine stopped check fluid level indicated on P/S fluid reser-
voir (1) or level gauge (3), which should be between MAX and
MIN marks. If it is lower than lower limit (MIN), replenish fluid up
to upper limit (MAX) mark.
1. P/S pump pulley 4. A/C compressor pulley (if equipped)
2. Crank pulley
CAUTION:
Make sure to use an equivalent of DEXRON

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement 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:
When inspecting and servicing vehicle equipped with ABS, be sure to refer to section 5E 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.

CHECK AIR TIGHTNESS
1) Start engine.
2) Stop engine after running for 1 to 2 minutes.
3) Depress brake pedal several times with the same load as in
ordinary braking and observe pedal travel. If pedal goes
down deep the first time but its travel decreases as it is
depressed the second and more times, air tightness is
obtained.
4) If pedal travel doesn’t change, air tightness isn’t obtained.
CHECK OPERATION
1) With engine stopped, depress brake pedal several times with
the same load and make sure that pedal travel doesn’t
change.
2) Start engine while depressing brake pedal. If pedal travel
increases a little, operation is satisfactory. But no change in
pedal travel indicates malfunction.

CHECK FOR FRONT BRAKE AFTER INSTALLATION
Mount tires and make certain that they rotate smoothly, with a
force of less than 3.0 kg (6.6 Ib).
If tire rotation is heavy, check the following:
Piston, piston seal and cylinder slide bush of caliper for
installation.
Wheel bearings for breakage.
Disc for flatness (Improper flatness brings disc into contact
with lining during rotation and makes rotation heavy).
To check this, measure disc deflection.NOTE:
For above check the following must be observed.
Jack up front wheels, both right and left, off the
ground.
Shift transfer shift lever to 2H (rear wheel) position (if
equipped) and start engine for a few seconds then
stop.
Side figure shows outer periphery of tire.
Be careful not to depress brake pedal when checking
tire for rotation.

“ABS” Warning Lamp Check
Turn ignition switch ON and check that “ABS” warning lamp
comes ON for about 2 seconds and then goes OFF. If any faulty
condition is found, advance to Diagnostic Flow Table-A, B or C.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Check
1) Test drive vehicle at 40 km/h for more than a minute.
2) Stop vehicle and while IG switch OFF, connect diagnosis
switch terminal (3) and ground terminal (2) of monitor con-
nector (1) with service wire (4).
3) Turn IG switch ON, read the flashing “ABS” warning lamp
which represents DTC as shown in example below and write
it down. When more than 2 DTC’s are stored in memory,
flashing for each DTC is repeated three times starting with
the smallest DTC number in increasing order.
For details of DTC, refer to “DTC Table”.
Example : When right front wheel speed sensor circuit opens (DTC 21)
4) After completing the check, turn ignition switch off, discon-
nect service wire from monitor connector.
NOTE:
“ABS” warning lamp indicates only following DTCs, DTC
12 which means that no malfunction DTC is stored and
history DTC which indicates history trouble area. When
there is current trouble, “ABS” warning lamp remains ON
and therefore DTC is not indicated.
