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.

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

BUILT-IN INDICATOR (IF EQUIPPED)
The battery has a built-in temperature compensated indicator in
the top of the battery. This indicator is to be used with the follow-
ing diagnostic procedure. When checking the indicator, make
sure that the battery has a clean top. A light may be needed in
some poorly-lit areas.
Three types of indication which is available under normal opera-
tion are as follows.
Green Dot
Battery is sufficiently charged for testing.
Dark
Battery must be charged before testing.
If there is a cranking complaint, battery should be tested as
described in Diagnosis section. Charging and electrical sys-
tems should also be checked at this time.
Clear or Light Yellow
This means that fluid level is below the bottom of hydrome-
ter. Its possible cause is excessive or prolonged charging, a
broken case, excessive tipping or normal battery deteriora-
tion.
When the battery is found in such condition, it is possible
that high charging voltage is caused by the faulty charging
system and therefore, charging and electrical systems need
to be checked. If there is a trouble in cranking and its cause
lies in the battery, it should be replaced.
CARE OF BATTERY
1) The battery is a very reliable component, but needs periodi-
cal attentions.
Keep the battery carrier clean.
Prevent rust formation on the terminal posts.
Keep the electrolyte up to the upper level uniformly in all
cells. WARNING:
Never expose battery to open flame or electric spark
because of battery generate gas which is flammable
and explosive.
Do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin, fabrics,
or painted surfaces as fluid is a corrosive acid. Flush
any contacted area with water immediately and thor-
oughly.
Batteries should always be kept out of reach of chil-
dren.

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.
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CHARGING SYSTEM 6H-7
How to use the temperature-corrected state-of-charge
graph
Suppose your S.G. reading is 1.28 and the battery temperature is
–5 °C (23 °F). Locate the intersection of the –5 °C line and the
1.28 S.G. line.
The intersection is within the “A” zone (shaded area in the graph)
and that means CHARGED STATE.
To know how much the battery is charged, draw a line parallel to
the zone demarcation line and extend it to the right till it meets
with the percentage scale. In the present example, the line meets
at about 85% point on the percentage scale. Therefore, the bat-
tery is charged up to the 85% level.
Generator
Trouble in charging system will show up as one or more of follow-
ing conditions:
1) Faulty indicator lamp operation.
2) An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow cranking or
indicator dark.
3) An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive spewing
of electrolyte from vents.
Noise from generator may be caused by a loose drive pulley,
loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, defective diode, or
defective stator.
FAULTY INDICATOR LAMP OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not mistake polarities of IG terminal and L terminal.
Do not make a short circuit between IG and L termi-
nals. Always connect these terminals through a lamp.
Do not connect any load between L and E.
When connecting a charger or a booster battery to
vehicle battery, refer to this section describing battery
charging.
