General Description
Cranking Circuit
Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
Possible symptoms due to starting system trouble would be as follows:
Starting motor does not run (or runs slowly)
Starting motor runs but fails to crank engine
Abnormal noise is heard
Proper diagnosis must be made to determine exactly where the cause of each trouble lies.....in battery, wiring
harness, (including starting motor switch), starting motor or engine.
Do not remove motor just because starting motor does not run. Check following items and narrow down scope
of possible causes.
1) Condition of trouble
2) Tightness of battery terminals (including ground cable connection on engine side) and starting motor termi-
nals
3) Discharge of battery
4) Mounting of starting motor
1. Pinion drive lever 5. Plunger 9. A/T: Transmission range switch (shift lever switch)
2. Pinion & Over-running clutch 6. Magnetic switch contacts 10. Ignition & Starter switch
3. Magnetic switch 7. Pull-in coil 11. Battery
4. Hold-in coil 8. Starting motor

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. 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).

When keeping battery on vehicle over a long period of time, follow
instructions given below.
Weekly, start the engine and run it until it reaches normal
operating temperature with engine speed of 2,000 to 3,000
rpm. Make sure all electric switches are off before storing the
vehicle.
Recharge the battery twice a month to prevent it from dis-
charging excessively. This is especially important when
ambient temperature is low.
The battery discharges even when it is not used, while vehi-
cles are being stored. Battery electrolyte can freeze and bat-
tery case can crack at cold ambient condition if battery is not
properly charged.
2) Keep the battery cable connections clean.
The cable connections, particularly at the positive (+) termi-
nal post, tend to become corroded. The product of corrosion,
or rust, on the mating faces of conductors resists the flow of
current.
Clean the terminals and fittings periodically to ensure good
metal-to-metal contact, and grease the connections after
each cleaning to protect them against rusting.
3) Be always in the know as to the state of charge of the bat-
tery. The simplest way to tell the state of charge is to carry
out a hydrometer test. The hydrometer is an instrument for
measuring the specific gravity (S.G.) of the battery electro-
lyte. The S.G. of the electrolyte is indicative of the state of
charge. Refer to “HYDROMETER TEST” in this section.
Generator
The generator is a small and high performance type with an IC regulator incorporated.
The internal components are connected electrically as shown below figure.
The generator features are as follows:
Solid state regulator is mounted inside the generator.
All regulator components are enclosed into a solid mold.
This unit along with the brush holder assembly is attached to the rear housing.
The IC regulator uses integrated circuits and controls the voltage produced by the generator, and the volt-
age setting cannot be adjusted.
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two
brushes carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil mounted on the rotor, and under normal con-
ditions will provide long period of attention-free service.
The stator windings are assembled on the inside of a laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
A condenser mounted in the rear housing suppresses radio noise.

UNDERCHARGED BATTERY
This condition, as evidenced by slow cranking or indicator clear
with red dot can be caused by one or more of the following condi-
tions even though indicator lamp may be operating normal.
Following procedure also applies to cars with voltmeter and
ammeter.
1) Make sure that undercharged condition has not been caused
by accessories left on for extended period of time.
2) Check drive belt for proper tension.
3) If battery defect is suspected, refer to BATTERY section.
4) Inspect wiring for defects. Check all connections for tight-
ness and cleanliness, battery cable connections at battery,
starting motor and ignition ground cable.
5) Connect voltmeter and ammeter as shown in the figure.
6) Measure current and voltage.
No-load Check
1) Run engine from idling up to 2,000 rpm and read meters.
Standard current
10 A maximum
Standard voltage
14.4 – 15.0 V (at 20 °C, 68 °F)
Higher Voltage
If voltage is higher than standard value, check ground of brushes.
If brushes are not grounded, replace IC regulator.
Lower Voltage
If voltage is below or in standard value, increase engine speed up
to 2,000 – 2,500 rpm soon after starting engine, and read maxi-
mum value on ammeter immediately.
If current is less than 49 A, repair or replace generator.NOTE:
Use fully charged battery.
1. Generator
2. Ammeter (between generator (B) terminal and battery (+) terminal)
3. Voltmeter (between generator (B) terminal and ground)
4. Battery
5. Load
6. Switch
NOTE:
Turn off switches of all accessories (wiper, heater etc.).
NOTE:
Consideration should be taken that voltage will differ
somewhat with regulator case temperature as shown in
the graph.

2) Ground F terminal and start engine, then measure voltage at
B terminal as shown in left figure.
Voltage is higher than standard value
It is considered that generator itself is good but IC regulator
has been damaged, replace IC regulator.
Voltage is lower than standard value
Generator itself has problem, check the generator.
Load Check
1) Run engine at 2,000 rpm and turn on head light and heater
motor.
2) Measure current and if it is less than 20 A repair or replace
generator.
OVERCHARGED BATTERY
1) To determine battery condition, refer to Battery section.
2) If obvious overcharged condition exists as evidenced by
excessive spewing of electrolyte, measure generator B ter-
minal voltage at engine 2,000 rpm.
3) If measured voltage is higher than upper limit value, proceed
to disassembly section of generator service.
4) Check ground of brushes. If brushes are not grounded,
replace IC regulator. Then check field coil for grounds and
shorts, referring to “INSPECTION” section.
On-Vehicle Service
Battery
Jump starting in case of emergency
WITH AUXILIARY (BOOSTER) BATTERY
Both booster and discharged battery should be treated carefully
when using jumper cables. Follow procedure outlined below,
being careful not to cause sparks.
CAUTION:
If vehicle is manual transmission model and has a cata-
lytic converter, do not push or tow it to start. Damage to
its emission system and/or to other parts may result.
