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).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “Refrigerant Type” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to
AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (Part number: 99520-02130).

8) Check if each pressure on low side and on high side is within
shaded range of the graph.
If each gauge reading is out of specified pressure, correct
defective part referring to “Performance Diagnosis Table” in
this section.
Low side and high side pressure example :
9) Check inlet port temperature-to-outlet port temperature rela-
tionship using graph.
For example, if evaporator inlet port temperature is 25 °C
(77 °F) and center duct air outlet temperature is 8 °C
(46.4 °F), their crossing point is within acceptable range as
shown in the graph.
If crossing point is out of acceptable range, diagnose trouble
referring to “Performance Diagnosis Table” in this section. NOTE:
Pressure registered on gauge varies with ambient tem-
perature. Therefore, use graph when determining if pres-
sures are normal or not.
Gauges should read as follows when ambient tempera-
ture is 30 °C (86 °F).

sure gauge1400 – 1750 kPa
14.0 – 17.5 kg/cm

A/C System Inspection of ECM and ITS Cir-
cuits
ECM and its circuits can be checked at ECM wiring couplers by
measuring voltage.
Voltage Check
1) Remove ECM from vehicle by referring to “Engine Control
Module” in Section 6E.
2) Connect ECM couplers (1) to ECM (2).
3) Check voltage at each terminal of couplers connected.CAUTION:
ECM cannot be checked by itself. It is strictly prohibited
to connect voltmeter or ohmmeter to ECM with couplers
disconnected from ECM.
NOTE:
Because each terminal voltage is affected by the battery
voltage, confirm that the battery voltage is 11 V or more
when ignition switch is ON.

Removing Manifold Gauge Set
When A/C system has been charged with a specified amount of
refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set. (The
high pressure side valve is closed continuously during the
process of charging.)
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service valves.
This operation must be performed rapidly.
5) Put caps on service valves.
Leak Test
Whenever a refrigerant leak is suspected in the system or any
service operation has been performed which may result in dis-
turbing lines or connections, it is advisable to test for leaks.
Common sense should be used in performing any refrigerant leak
test, since the need and extent of any such test will, in general,
depend upon the nature of a complaint and the type of a service
performed on the system.
LIQUID LEAK DETECTOR
There are a number of fittings and places throughout the air con-
ditioning system where a liquid leak detector solution may be
used to pinpoint refrigerant leaks.
By merely applying the solution to the area in question with a
swab, such as attached to the cap of a vial, bubbles will form
within seconds if there is a leak.
For confined areas, such as sections of the evaporator and con-
denser, an electronic (refrigerant) leak detector (1) is more practi-
cal for determining leaks.WARNING:
High pressure side is naturally under high pressure. So,
care must be used to protect your eyes and skin.

On-Vehicle Service
Service Precaution
When servicing air conditioning system, note the following instructions.
Refrigerant line
Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe, try to make its bending radius as slight as possible.
Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moisture and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system,
install a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil to seats of coupling nuts and O-ring.
When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
Tighten flared nuts by the following specified torque.
Tightening torque (Flared Nut Used for)
8 mm pipe : 13 N·m (1.3 kg-m, 9.5 lb-ft)
12 mm pipe : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 16.6 lb-ft)
14.5 mm pipe : 33 N·m (3.3 kg-m, 23.8 lb-ft)
Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
Before evacuating and charging refrigerant, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to “Replenishing Compressor Oil” in this section.
1. Suction hose:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.4. Condenser outlet pipe:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.
2. Discharge hose:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.5. Expansion valve:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.
3. Receiver / dryer outlet pipe:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.6. Dual pressure switch:
Apply compressor oil to O-ring.
