On-Vehicle Service
Ignition Spark Test
1) Disconnect all injector connectors (1) from injectors.
2) Remove cylinder head upper cover.
3) Remove spark plug and check it for condition and type refer-
ring to “Spark Plugs” in this section.
4) If OK, connect ignition coil connector to ignition coil assem-
bly and connect spark plug to ignition coil assembly or high-
tension cord. Ground spark plug.
5) Crank engine and check if each spark plug sparks.
6) If no spark is emitted, inspect the related parts as described
under “Diagnosis” earlier in this section.
High-tension Cords
1) Remove cylinder head upper cover and disconnect high-ten-
sion cords (2) from ignition coil assemblies (1) while gripping
each cap.
2) Pull out high-tension cords from spark plugs while gripping
each cap.
3) Measure resistance of high-tension cord (1) by using ohm-
meter.
High-tension cord resistance
4 – 10 k
Ω/m (1.2 – 3.0 kΩ/ft)
4) If resistance exceeds specification, replace high-tension
cord(s). WARNING:
Without disconnection of injector couplers, combustible
gas may come out from spark plug holes during this test
and may get ignited in engine room.
CAUTION:
Removal of high-tension cords together with clamps
will be recommended so as not to damage their inside
wire (resistive conductor).
For the same reason, pull out each connection by grip-
ping cap portion.

4) If any abnormality is found, adjust air gap, clean with spark
plug cleaner or replace them with specified new plugs.
For iridium/platinum spark plugs, replace them with new
plugs.
Spark plug air gap “a”
1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.040 – 0.043 in.)
Spark plug type
NGK : BKR6E-11, IFR5E11
DENSO : K20PR-U11, SK16PR-A11
5) Install spark plugs and torque them to specification.
Tightening torque
Spark plug : 25 N·m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft)
6) Install ignition coil assemblies referring to “Ignition Coil
Assembly” in this section.
7) Install high-tension cords securely by gripping their caps.
Ignition Coil Assembly (Including Ignitor)
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head upper cover.
3) Disconnect ignition coil connector.
4) Disconnect high-tension cord (3) from ignition coil assembly
(2).
5) Remove ignition coil bolts (1) and then pull out ignition coil
assembly. NOTE:
NGK IFR5E11 or DENSO SK16PR-A11 is highly recom-
mended for better engine starting performance under –
25°C (– 13°F).
CAUTION:
When servicing the iridium/platinum spark plugs (slender
center electrode type plugs), do not touch the center
electrode to avoid damage to it. The electrode is not
strong enough against mechanical force as it is slender
and its material is not mechanically tough.

6) Measure resistance between terminals as follows by using
analog type ohmmeter.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace ignition coil assem-
bly.
Secondary coil resistance
“a” – “b” : 7.5 – 14 k
Ω (at 20°C, 68°F)

ping its cap.

Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP Sensor)
Refer to “Crankshaft Position Sensor” in Section 6E for removal,
inspection and installation.
Ignition Timing
INSPECTION
1) When using SUZUKI scan tool (1), connect SUZUKI scan
tool to DLC (2) with ignition switch OFF.
Special tool
(A) : SUZUKI scan tool
2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
3) Make sure that all of electrical loads except ignition are
switched off.
4) Check to be sure that idle speed is within specification.
(Refer to “Idle Speed/Idle Air Control Duty Inspection” in
Section 6E.)
NOTE:
Ignition timing is not adjustable. If ignition timing is
out of specification, check system related parts.
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift
lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for
A/T model), and set parking brake.

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.
