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.

General Description
Cranking Circuit
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
1. Pinion drive lever 5. Plunger 9. A/T: Transmission range switch (shift lever switch)
2. Pinion & Over-running clutch 6. Magnetic switch contacts 10. Ignition & Starter switch
3. Magnetic switch 7. Pull-in coil 11. Battery
4. Hold-in coil 8. Starting motor

Performance Test
PULL-IN TEST
Connect battery to magnetic switch as shown.
Check that plunger and pinion move outward.
If plunger and pinion don’t move, replace magnetic switch.

While connected as above with plunger out, disconnect negative
lead from terminal “M”.
Check that plunger and pinion remain out.
If plunger and pinion return inward, replace magnetic switch.
PLUNGER AND PINION RETURN TEST
Disconnect negative lead from starting motor body.

not stop runningFused contact points of magnetic switch Replace magnetic switch.
Short-circuit between turns of magnetic switch coil
(layer short-circuit)Replace magnetic switch.
Failure of returning action in ignition switch Replace.
CAUTION:
Each test must be performed within 3 – 5 seconds to
avoid coil from burning.
NOTE:
Before testing, disconnect lead wire from terminal M.
1. Terminal “S”
2. Terminal “M”
3. Lead wire (switch to motor)

NO-LOAD PERFORMANCE TEST
Connect battery and ammeter to starter as shown.
Check that starter rotates smoothly and steadily with pinion mov-
ing out. Check that ammeter indicates specified current.
Specified current (No-load performance test)
: 90 A MAX. at 11 V

General Description
Battery
The battery has three major functions in the electrical system.
It is a source of electrical energy for cranking the engine.
It acts as a voltage stabilizer for the electrical system.
It can, for a limited time, provide energy when the electrical
load exceeds the output of the generator.
CARRIER AND HOLD-DOWN
The battery carrier should be in good condition so that it will sup-
port the battery securely and keep it level.
Before installing the battery, the battery carrier and hold-down
clamp should be clean and free from corrosion and make certain
there are no parts in carrier.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, the hold-down
bolts should be tight enough but not over-tightened.
ELECTROLYTE FREEZING
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific gravity.
Since freezing may ruin a battery, it should be protected against
freezing by keeping it in a fully charged condition. If a battery is
frozen accidentally, it should not be charged until it is warmed.
SULFATION
If the battery is allowed to stand for a long period in discharged
condition, the lead sulfate becomes converted into a hard, crystal-
line substance, which will not easily turn back to the active mate-
rial again during the subsequent recharging. “Sulfation” means
the result as well as the process of that reaction.
Such a battery can be revived by very slow charging and may be
restored to usable condition but its capacity is lower than before.
