Repair Instructions
Operation Procedure for Refrigerant ChargeS6RW0D7216001
WARNING!
• Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately –
6 °C (21.2 °F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, it may
cause a serious injury. To protect your eyes from such accident, it is necessary to always wear
goggles. Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your eyes, consult a doctor
immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use fresh cold water to splash it over the
affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
• Should the liquid refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) is exposed to your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
• Do not handle refrigerant near any place where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
• Refrigerant should be kept in a cold and dark place. It should never be stored in any place where
temperature is high, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
• Avoid breathing fume produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fume may be hazardous to
your health.

7) When refrigerant container (1) is emptied, use the
following procedure to replace it with a new
refrigerant container.
a) Close low pressure valve.
b) Replace empty container with a refrigerant
container which has been charged with
refrigerant. When using refrigerant container tap
valve (2), use the following procedure for
replacement.
i) Retract needle (3) and remove refrigerant
container tap valve by loosening its plate nut
(4).
ii) Install the refrigerant container tap valve to a
new refrigerant container.
c) Purge any air existing in center charging hose.
When using refrigerant container tap valve, use
the following procedure to purge air.
i) Once fully tighten refrigerant container tap
valve (1), and then loosen (open) plate nut
(2) slightly.
ii) Open low pressure side valve (3) of manifold
gauge set (4) a little.
iii) As soon as refrigerant comes out with a
“hiss” through a clearance between
refrigerant container and tap valve, tighten
plate nut as well as low pressure side valve.
iv) Turn handle of tap valve clockwise so that its
needle is screwed into the new container to
make a hole for refrigerant flow.8) After the system has been charged with specified
amount of refrigerant or when low pressure gauge
(1) and high pressure gauge (2) have indicated the
following specified value, close low pressure side
valve (3) on manifold gauge set (4).
Specified amount of refrigerant
430 ± 20 g (15.2 ± 0.7 oz))
Low side and high side pressure example
Removal of Manifold Gauge Set
WARNING!
High pressure side is under high pressure.
Therefore, be careful not to get injured
especially on your eyes and skin.
For the A/C system charged with the specified amount of
refrigerant, remove manifold gauge set as follows:
1) Close low pressure side valve of manifold gauge set.
(The high pressure side valve is closed continuously
during the process of charging.)
2) Close refrigerant container valve.
3) Stop engine.
4) Using shop rag, remove charging hoses from service
valves. This operation must be performed quickly.
5) Put caps on service valves.

General Description
Auto A/C System DescriptionS6RW0D7221001
The automatic type air conditioning system (auto A/C) is provided with the function to automatically control the inside
air temperature, fan speed, air flow outlet direction and air intake position by HVAC control module in addition to
functions of the manual type air conditioning system (manual A/C). Once the inside air temperature is set using the
temperature selector, HVAC control module automatically controls the inside air temperature at the constant level at all
times based on the inside air temperature, outside air temperature, amount of sunlight and engine coolant
temperature detected respectively by the inside air temperature sensor, outside air temperature sensor, sunload
sensor and ECT sensor. For the electronic control system components location, refer to “Electronic Control System
Components Location”. For the A/C system components location, refer to “A/C System Major Components Location”.

On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS6RW0D7221004
NOTE
The diagnostic information as diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) can be known by using
SUZUKI scan tool. For further details, refer to
“DTC Check”.
HVAC control module detects malfunctions, which may
occur in the following area.
• Inside air temperature sensor
• Evaporator temperature sensor
• Sunload sensor
• Temperature control actuator
• Air flow control actuator
• Temperature selector of HVAC control module
• Air flow selector of HVAC control module
• Blower speed selector of HVAC control module
• Back-up power supply circuit of HAVC control module
• Serial communication line between BCM and HVAC
control module• Received data from BCM as follows
– Outside air temperature sensor signal
– ECT sensor signal
– A/C refrigerant pressure sensor signal
– VSS signal
– Engine type signal
– Combination meter spec signal
– CAN communication circuit failure signal
When HVAC control module detects malfunction, the “A/
C” indicator light (1) flashes to warn and the diagnostic
trouble code (DTC) is stored in the memory of the
module. When diagnosing trouble, the DTC can be
checked according to “DTC Check”.
