5) Install high-tension cords (2) to spark plugs and ignition coil
assemblies (1) while gripping each cap.
Spark Plugs
1) Pull out high-tension cords by gripping their caps and then
remove ignition coil assemblies referring to “Ignition Coil
Assembly” in this section.
2) Remove spark plugs.
3) Inspect them for:
Electrode wear
Carbon deposits
Insulator damage CAUTION:
Never attempt to use metal conductor high-tension
cords as replacing parts.
Insert each cap portion fully when installing high-ten-
sion cords.

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)
7) Install ignition coil assembly.
8) Tighten ignition coil bolts, and then connect ignition coil cou-
pler.
9) Install high-tension cord to ignition coil assembly while grip-
ping its cap.
10) Install cylinder head upper cover.
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.

5) Fix ignition timing to initial one as follows.
a) When using SUZUKI scan tool:
Select “MISC” mode on SUZUKI scan tool and fix ignition
timing to initial one.
b) Without using SUZUKI scan tool: (vehicle without immobi-
lizer indicator lamp)
Disconnect scan tool from DLC, and connect D and E ter-
minals of monitor connector (1) or E to body ground by
using service wire so that ignition timing is fixed on initial
one.
6) Using timing light (1), check that ignition timing is within
specification.
Initial ignition timing (test switch terminal grounded or
fixed with SUZUKI scan tool)
5
± 3° BTDC at idle speed
Ignition order
1-3-4-2
7) If ignition timing is out of specification, check the followings:
CKP sensor
CKP sensor plate
TP sensor
Test switch signal circuit
VSS
Timing chain cover installation
8) After checking Initial Ignition Timing, release ignition timing
fixation by using SUZUKI scan tool or disconnect service
wire from monitor connector.
9) With engine idling (test switch terminal ungrounded, throttle
opening at closed position and car stopped), check that igni-
tion timing is about 7°–17° BTDC. (Constant variation within
a few degrees from 7°–17° indicates no abnormality but
proves operation of electronic timing control system.) Also,
check that increasing engine speed advances ignition timing.
If above check results are not satisfactory, check CKP sen-
sor, test switch terminal circuit and ECM.

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).
NOTE:
Starting motor varies depending on specifications, etc. Therefore, be sure to check model and speci-
fication of vehicle being serviced before replacing parts.
