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.

Diagnosis
Battery
COMMON CAUSES OF FAILURE
A battery is not designed to last indefinitely; however, with proper
care, it will provide many years of service. If the battery performs
satisfactorily during test but fails to operate properly for no appar-
ent reason, the followings are some factors that may point to the
cause of trouble:
Accessories left on overnight or for an extended period with-
out the generator operating.
Slow average driving speeds for short periods.
Electrical load exceeding generator output particularly with
addition of after market equipment.
Defects in charging system such as high resistance, slipping
drive belt, loose generator output terminal, faulty generator
or voltage regulator. Refer to “Generator” in this “Diagnosis”
section.
Battery abuse, including failure to keep battery cable termi-
nals clean and tight or loose battery hold down.
Mechanical problems in electrical system such as shorted or
pinched wires.
VISUAL INSPECTION
Check for obvious damage, such as cracked or broken case or
cover, that could permit loss of electrolyte. If obvious damage is
noted, replace battery. Determine cause of damage and correct
as needed.
HYDROMETER TEST
The direct method of checking the battery for state of charge is to
carry out a high rate discharge test, which involves a special pre-
cise voltmeter and an expensive instrument used in the service
shops, but not recommendable to the user of the vehicle.
At 20 °C of battery temperature (electrolyte temperature):
The battery is in FULLY CHARGED STATE if the electrolyte
S.G. is 1.280.
The battery is in HALF CHARGED STATE if the S.G. is
1.220.
The battery is in NEARLY DISCHARGED STATE if the S.G.
is 1.150 and is in danger of freezing.
As the S.G. varies with the temperature, if battery temperature is
not at 20 °C (68 °F), you have to correct your S.G. reading (taken
with your hydrometer) to the value at 20 °C (68 °F) and apply the
corrected S.G. value to the three-point guide stated value. For the
manner of correction, refer to the graph showing the relation
between S.G. value and temperature.

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.

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.

2) Using ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
coil leads (2) and stator core. If there is continuity, replace
stator (1).
Brush and Brush Holder
Check each brush for wear by measuring its length.
If brush is found worn down to service limit, replace brush.
Brush length “a”
Standard : 16 mm (0.63 in.)
Service limit : 2 mm (0.08 in.)
Rectifier
1) Using ohmmeter, check continuity between each of upper
and lower rectifier bodies and each diode lead (2).
Check both directions by reversing probes of ohmmeter and
there should be only one-way continuity in each case.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace rectifier (1).

General Description
The exhaust system of this vehicle consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust center pipe, muffler, seals, etc.
The catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the level of Hydro-
carbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas. The catalyst
in the catalytic converter is of “Three way” type.
Maintenance
At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehicle is raised for other service, check exhaust
system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration and out of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent and damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified torque. Refer to “Components” in this section.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or mispositioned part, open seam, hole, loose connection
or any other defect which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clearance from underbody to avoid overheating
and possible damage to passenger compartment carpet.
Any defect should be fixed at once. NOTE:
Whether following parts are used in the particular vehicle or not depends on specification. Be sure to
bear this in mind when performing service work.
Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
CAUTION:
Be sure to use UNLEADED FUEL for the catalytic converter equipped vehicle. Use of LEADED FUEL
will affect performance of the catalytic converter adversely to a great extent.
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust system when system is hot.
Any service on exhaust system should be performed when system is cool.
