Air Bleeding Procedure
AIR BLEEDING FROM SYSTEM
1) Jack up the front end of vehicle and apply rigid rack.
2) Fill P/S fluid reservoir with fluid up to specified level.
3) With engine running at idling speed, add fluid up to specified
level.
4) When fluid stops reducing, stop engine and leave P/S sys-
tem as it is for about 10 minutes.
5) After running engine at idling speed for 1 minute, stop it.
6) As a final step, check to make sure that fluid is up to speci-
fied level.
7) Check steering condition and P/S system for fluid leakage.
AIR BLEEDING FROM GEAR BOX
1) Remove steering gear box from vehicle referring to “Power
Steering (P/S) Gear Box” in this section.
2) Install special tool as shown.
Special tool
(A) : 09945-35010 CAUTION:
When air bleeding is not complete, it is indicated by
foaming fluid on level gauge or humming noise from P/S
pump.
NOTE:
Bleed air from system when P/S system has been ser-
viced in any way other than replacement of steering gear
box (e.g., disconnection of piping, replacement of P/S
pump). Never operate steering system while servicing.
Or Air Bleeding from gear box must be performed.
NOTE:
Bleed air from gear box:
When steering gear box has been replaced with a new
one.
When entry of air into hydraulic circuit of steering gear
box is suspected.
1. Steering gear box 3. High pressure hose / pipe
2. Low pressure hose / pipe

3) After running engine at idling speed for 3 to 5 seconds, stop
it and add fluid up to specified level. Repeat this step a few
times.
4) Set steering gear box (1) to state [A] as shown.
5) With engine running at idling speed, turn input shaft by using
special tool in both directions as far as it locks till all foams
are gone.
Special tool
(B) : 09944-18211
6) Perform Step 5) but with steering gear box in state [B] this
time and then in state [C].
7) Set input shaft at neutral position (straight position).
8) Remove (special) tools and install steering gear box to vehi-
cle and P/S pipe / hose to steering gear box referring to
“Power Steering (P/S) Gear Box” in this section.
9) Bleed air in P/S system referring to “Air Bleeding Procedure”
in this section.
10) Install pitman arm and steering lower shaft to steering gear
box. NOTE:
Don’t operate steering system for this step.
NOTE:
Add fluid into P/S fluid reservoir whenever its level
lowers while servicing.
Turn input shaft till it locks, return it a little and turn it
again in the same direction till it locks. Repeat this
some times.
NOTE:
To change of state of gear box from [A] to [B] and from
[B] to [C], turn gear box in arrow direction in figures [A]
and [B].
NOTE:
As input shaft makes 4 full turns from lock to lock, neu-
tral position is obtained by turning it till it locks and turn-
ing it back by 2 full turns.
2. Vinyl tube (See-through tube)
NOTE:
Don’t install pitman arm and steering lower shaft to
steering gear box.
Installation of these parts will cause input shaft and/or
sector shaft to turn, allowing air to enter gear box.
Plug up opening after pipe or hose disconnection.

Hydraulic Pressure In P/S Circuit Check
1) Clean where pipe is connected thoroughly, then disconnect
high pressure hose from high pressure pipe connector and
connect oil pressure gauge (special tool) as shown.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77410
(B) : 09915-77420
2) Bleed air.
3) With engine running at idling speed, keep turning steering
wheel to the right and left till fluid in P/S fluid reservoir is
warmed to 50 to 60 °C (122 – 140 °F)
4) Back pressure check
With engine running at idling speed and hands off from
steering wheel, check hydraulic pressure.
If back pressure exceeds 980 kPa (10 kg/cm
2, 142 psi),
check control valve and pipes for obstruction.

straight position. NOTE:
Plug up the section where hose disconnection.
CAUTION:
Never turn gear box input shaft. Otherwise, air goes into
gear box, which needs air bleeding for gear box.
NOTE:
Don’t disassemble P/S gear box.
For adjustment of worm shaft starting torque, refer to
item “Adjustment of Worm Shaft Starting Torque” in

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. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precautions” under “On-
Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around the air bag sys-
tem 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.
The procedures in this section must be followed in the order listed to temporarily disable the air
bag system and prevent false diagnostic codes from setting. Failure to follow procedures could
result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or otherwise unneeded air bag system
repairs.
CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were
removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger)
may be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound, will be
called out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above
procedures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

General Description
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering func-
tion:
The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision.
The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehi-
cle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated and that they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column assembly is removed from the vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a
steering wheel puller other than the one recommended in this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering
shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain col-
umn length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is
mounted to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the
restraint of the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air bags.
The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be
sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this section and “Service Precautions” in Section 10B.
