General Description
Rear Differential DescriptionS6RW0D3201001
The differential assembly uses a hypoid bevel pinion and gear.
The differential assembly is decisive in that the drive power is concentrated there. Therefore, use of genuine parts and
specified torque is compulsory. Further, because of sliding tooth meshing with high pressure between hypoid bevel
pinion and gear, it is mandatory to lubricate them by hypoid gear oil.
Coupling DescriptionS6RW0D3201002
Coupling is installed in the forward of Rear differential. The road situation and driving are judged with 4WD control
module based on information from sensor and each control module, and the distribution of driving force of the front
and rear wheel has been changed by controlling the current to coupling. Coupling air temperature sensor is installed in
coupling case and measures the temperature in coupling.
4WD system has three driving positions (2WD, 4WD-auto, 4WD-lock). The position corresponding to the running
situation can be selected by 2WD/4WD switch.

Repair Instructions
Rear Differential Oil Level CheckS6RW0D3206001
1) Lift up vehicle and check oil leakage. Repair leaky
point, if any.
2) Remove oil level / filler plug (1) and check oil
contamination and oil level is lower end of oil level /
filler plug hole (2).
If oil is excessive dirty or insufficient, replace oil or
pour specified oil up to plug hole.
3) Apply sealant to thread of level / filler plug, and then
tighten it to specified torque.
“A”: Sealant 99000–31260 (SUZUKI Bond
No.1217G)
Tightening torque
Differential oil level / filler plug (a): 23 N·m (2.3
kgf-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Rear Differential Oil ChangeS6RW0D3206002
1) Before changing or inspecting oil, be sure to stop
engine and lift vehicle horizontally.
2) With vehicle lifted up, check leakage.
If leakage exists, correct it.
NOTE
Whenever vehicle is hoisted for any other
service work than oil change, also be sure to
check for oil leakage.
3) Remove oil filler plug (2).
4) Remove drain plug (1), and drain old oil.
