General Information
Statement on Cleanliness and Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances
that are measured in the thousands of an millimeter (ten thousands of an inch).
Accordingly, when any internal engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important.
Throughout this section, it should be understood that proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and
friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is considered standard shop practice even if not specifically
stated.
A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate the
surfaces on initial operation.
Whenever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft jour-
nal bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaces
as when removed.
Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine.
Failure to disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.
Throughout this manual, the four cylinders of the engine are
identified by numbers; No.1 (1), No.2 (2), No.3 (3) and No.4
(4) counted from crankshaft pulley side to flywheel side.
General Information on Engine Service
THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ON ENGINE SERVICE SHOULD BE NOTED CAREFULLY, AS IT IS
IMPORTANT IN PREVENTING DAMAGE, AND IN CONTRIBUTING TO RELIABLE ENGINE PERFORMANCE.
When raising or supporting engine for any reason, do not use a jack under oil pan. Due to small clearance
between oil pan and oil pump strainer, jacking against oil pan may cause it to be bent against strainer result-
ing in damaged oil pick-up unit.
It should be kept in mind, while working on engine, that 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent and
damaging short circuits.
When performing any work where electrical terminals can be grounded, ground cable of the battery should
be disconnected at battery.
Any time the air cleaner, throttle body or intake manifold is removed, the intake opening should be covered.
This will protect against accidental entrance of foreign material which could follow intake passage into cylin-
der and cause extensive damage when engine is started.

Precaution in Diagnosing Trouble
Don’t disconnect couplers from ECM, battery cable at battery, ECM ground wire harness from engine or
main fuse before confirming diagnostic information (DTC, freeze frame data, etc.) stored in ECM memory.
Such disconnection will erase memorized information in ECM memory.
Diagnostic information stored in ECM memory can be cleared as well as checked by using SUZUKI scan
tool or generic scan tool. Before using scan tool, read its Operator’s (Instruction) Manual carefully to have
good understanding as to what functions are available and how to use it.
Priorities for diagnosing troubles (Vehicle with Immobilizer indicator lamp).
If multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are stored, proceed to the flow table of the DTC which has
detected earliest in the order and follow the instruction in that table.
If no instructions are given, troubleshoot diagnostic trouble codes according to the following priorities.
–Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) other than DTC P0171/P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich), DTC
P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304 (Misfire detected) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0171/P0172 (Fuel system too lean / too rich) and DTC P0400 (EGR flow malfunction)
–DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304 (Misfire detected)
Be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service” in Section 0A before inspection and observe what
is written there.
ECM Replacement
When substituting a known-good ECM, check for following conditions. Neglecting this check may cause
damage to a known-good ECM.
–Resistance value of all relays, actuators is as specified respectively.
–MAP sensor and TP sensor are in good condition and none of power circuits of these sensors is shorted
to ground.AMBIENT TEMPERATURE TIME TO CUT POWER TO
ECM
Over 0 °C (32 °F) 60 sec. or longer
Under 0 °C (32 °F)Not specifiable.
Select a place with higher than
0 °C (32 °F) temperature.

General Description
Battery
The battery has three major functions in the electrical system.
It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the engine.
It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical
load exceeds the output of the generator.
CARRIER AND HOLD-DOWN
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it will sup-
port the battery securely and keep it level.
Before installing the battery, the battery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and make certain
there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down
bolts should be tight enough but not over-tightened.
ELECTROLYTE FREEZING
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific gravity.
Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be protected against
freezing by keeping it in a fully charged condition. If a battery is
frozen accidentally, it should not be charged until it is warmed.
SULFATION
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in discharged
condition, the lead sulfate becomes converted into a hard, crystal-
line substance, which will not easily turn back to the active mate-
rial again during the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means
the result as well as the process of that reaction.
Such a battery can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than before.
