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.

5) Remove steering wheel (1) with special tool.
Special tool
(A) : 09944-36011
INSTALLATION
1) Check that vehicle’s front tires are at straight-ahead position.
If equipped with air bag system, align contact coil to original
position referring to “Centering Contact Coil” in this section.
2) Install steering wheel as follows.
For vehicle without air bag system
a) Apply grease to contact plate (1).
“A” : Grease 99000-25290
b) Install steering wheel onto shaft, aligning them by match
marks.
For vehicle with air bag system
Install steering wheel to steering shaft with 2 lugs (2) on con-
tact coil fitted in two grooves (3) in the back of steering wheel
and also aligning marks (4) on steering wheel and steering
shaft. CAUTION:
Do not hammer the end of the shaft. Hammering it will
loosen the plastic shear pins which maintain the column
length and impair the collapsible design of the column.
CAUTION:
For vehicle with air bag system
These two conditions are prerequisite for installation of
steering wheel. If steering wheel has been installed with-
out these conditions, contact coil will break when steer-
ing wheel is turned.
[A] : For vehicle without air bag system
[B] : For vehicle with air bag system

4) From the position where contact coil became unable to turn
any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise about two and
a half rotations and align center mark with alignment mark
(1).
Combination Switch (For Vehicle without Air
Bag System)/Contact Coil and Combination
Switch Assembly (For Vehicle with Air Bag
System)
REMOVAL
1) Remove steering wheel from steering column referring to
“Steering Wheel” in this section.
2) Remove steering column hole cover (1).
3) Remove steering column cover standard screw (1) and tap-
ping screws (2).
4) Loosen steering column mounting bolts and nuts referring to
“Steering Column” in this section.
5) Separate upper cover (3) and lower cover (4), then remove
them.
6) Disconnect all connectors for combination switch/contact coil
and combination switch assembly.
CAUTION:
For vehicle with air bag system
Do not turn contact coil (on combination switch) more
than allowable number of turns (about two and a half
turns from the center position clockwise or counter-
clockwise respectively), or coil will break.

8) If equipped with shift (key) interlock cable (1), remove shift
(key) interlock cable screw (2) and then disconnect its cable
from ignition switch in order a) – c) as shown in the figure.
9) Remove steering column from vehicle.
10) Remove steering column seal (1) from steering column lower
bracket.
INSPECTION
CHECKING PROCEDURE
1) Check that two capsules (1) are attached to steering column
bracket (2) securely. Check clearance between capsules and
steering column bracket. Clearance should be 0.0 mm (0.0
in.) on both sides.
If found loose or clearance, replace steering column assem-
bly.
2) Check two plates (3) for any damages such as crack or
breakage.
If anything is found faulty, replace as steering column
assembly.
CAUTION:
Don’t separate double tube type steering column assem-
bly into steering column and shaft. If column or shaft is
defective, replace as and assembly.
NOTE:
Vehicles involved in accidents resulting in body damage,
where steering column has been impacted (or air bag
deployed), may have a damaged or misaligned steering
column.
