General Description
The power steering system in this vehicle reduces the driver’s effort needed in turning the steering wheel by uti-
lizing the hydraulic pressure generated by the power steering (P/S) pump which is driven by the engine. It is an
integral type with the mechanical gear unit, hydraulic pressure cylinder unit and control valve unit all housed in
the gear box.

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:
Whether the following systems (parts) are used in the particular vehicle or not depends on vehicle
specifications. Be sure to bear this in mind when performing service work.
EGR valve
Heated oxygen sensor(s) or CO adjusting resistor
Three-way catalytic converter (TWC) and warm up three-way catalytic converter (WU-TWC)

FUEL TANK LEVEL (%)
This parameter indicates approximate fuel level in the fuel tank. As the detectable range of the fuel level sensor
is set as 0 to 100%, however, with some models whose fuel tank capacity is smaller, the indicated fuel level may
be only 70% even when the fuel tank is full.
PNP SIGNAL (PARK / NEUTRAL POSITION SIGNAL, P/N RANGE or D RANGE)
It is detected by signal from TCM.
D range : A/T is in “R”, “D”, “2” or “L” range.
P/N range : A/T is in “P” or “N” range or the above signal is not inputted from TCM.
EGR VALVE (%)
This parameter indicates opening rate of EGR valve which controls the amount of EGR flow.
PSP SW
The Power Steering Pressure switch parameter displays ON when steering wheel is turned all the way to the
right or left.
