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 negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM)
NOTE:
All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one
of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a
replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified dur-
ing reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

Diagnosis
Diagnosis Table
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Steering wheel feels
heavy
(at low speed)Fluid deteriorated, low viscosity, different type of
fluid mixedChange fluid.
Pipes or hoses deformed, air entering through
jointCorrect or replace.
Insufficient air bleeding from piping Bleed air.
Belt worn, lacking in tension Adjust belt tension or replace belt
as necessary.
Tire inflation pressure too low Inflate tire.
Wheel alignment out of adjustment Adjust front wheel alignment.
Steering wheel installed improperly (twisted) Install steering wheel correctly.
Hydraulic pressure failing to rise (See NOTE
“A”.)Replace P/S pump.
Slow hydraulic pressure rise (See NOTE “A”.)
Steering wheel feels
heavy momentarily
when turning it to the
left or right.Air drawn in due to insufficient amount of fluid Add fluid and bleed air.
Slipping belt Adjust belt tension or replace belt
as necessary.
No idle-up (See NOTE
“B”.)Defective pressure switch Replace pressure switch
(terminal set).
NOTE:
“A” : Be sure to warm up engine fully before performing this check. Pump vanes are sometimes
hard to come out where temperature is low.
“B” : Acceptable if idling speed does not drop.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
Steering wheel returns
slowly from turns.
(See NOTE “C”.)Dust or foreign object mixed in fluid Change fluid.
Deformed pipes or hoses Correct or replace.
Steering column installed improperly Install correctly.
Wheel alignment maladjusted Adjust.
Linkage or joints not operating smoothly Correct.
Vehicle pulls to one
side during straight
driving.Low or uneven tire inflation pressure Inflate tire (s) as necessary.
Wheel alignment maladjusted Adjust.
Defective spool valve Replace gear box assembly.
Steering wheel play is
large and vehicle wan-
ders.Loose steering shaft nut Retighten.
Loose linkage or joint Retighten.
Loose gear box fixing bolt Retighten.
Front wheel bearing worn Replace.
Fluid leakage
Loose joints of hydraulic pressure pipes and
hosesRetighten.
Deformed or damaged pipes or hoses Correct or replace.
Gear box Replace gear box assembly.

Idle-Up System Check
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn A/C switch OFF, if equipped.
3) Turn steering wheel fully and check idle speed.
Engine idle speed drops a little momentarily when steering wheel is turned fully but returns to its specified
level immediately. If power steering pressure switch connector is connected, check the same with that con-
nector disconnected. Momentary drop of engine idle speed should be less when it is connected than when
disconnected.
Power Steering Fluid Leakage Check
Start engine and turn steering wheel fully to the right and left so that maximum hydraulic pressure is applied to
system. Then visually check gear box, P/S pump and P/S fluid reservoir respectively and each joint of hydraulic
pressure piping for leakage. During this check, however, never keep steering wheel turned fully for longer than
10 seconds.
