SYMBOLS
WIRE COLOR SYMBOLS
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”).
The first symbol represents the base color of the wire (“GRN” in
the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the
stripe (“YEL” in the figure). SYMBOL DEFINITION SYMBOL DEFINITION

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.

3) Measure worm shaft starting torque from its position in
straight forward state as described in Step 2).
Starting Torque for Worm shaft
(a) : 50 – 100 N·cm (5.0-10.0 kg-cm, 0.4-0.7 lb-ft)
Special tool
(A) : 09944-18211

If measured torque is not within specification, carry out adjust-
ment with adjusting bolt (1) to meet specification and check to
confirm it again.
Tightening torque
Steering gear box adjusting bolt lock nut
(a) : 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
4) If worm shaft starting torque is checked all right, another
check should be carried out on worm shaft operating torque
in its entire operating range (by turning worm shaft all the
way to the right and left).
Worm Shaft (Including sector shaft) Operating Torque
(a) : Under 120 N·cm (12.0 kg-cm, 10.9 lb-ft)
Special tool
(A) : 09944-18211
If measured torque does not conform to specification, readjust
worm shaft starting torque in straightforward state by means of
adjusting bolt (1), and then recheck worm shaft operating torque.
Tightening torque
Steering gear box adjusting bolt lock nut
(b) : 30 N·m (3.0 kg-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
If specified value is not attained even after readjustment, it is
advisable to replace gear box with new gear box assembly.
