3) Install steering column upper cover (1) and lower
cover (2).
CAUTION!
When installing covers, be careful so that
each lead wire is not caught between covers.
Otherwise, each lead wire is damaged.
4) Install steering wheel to steering column. Refer to
“Steering Wheel Removal and Installation”.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
6) Enable air bag system referring to “Enabling Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
Centering Contact Coil Cable AssemblyS6RW0D6206004
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at
straight-ahead position.
2) Check that ignition switch is at LOCK position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light
force till contact coil will not turn any further.
NOTE
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at the
maximum, that is, if it is at the center
position, can turn about two and a half turns
both clockwise and counterclockwise.
4) From the position where contact coil became unable
to turn any further (it stopped), turn it back clockwise
about two and a half rotations and align center mark
with alignment mark (1).
Contact Coil Cable Assembly InspectionS6RW0D6206005
Refer to “Contact Coil Cable and Its Circuit Check in
Section 8B”.
Steering Column Removal and InstallationS6RW0D6206008
CAUTION!
Once the steering column is removed from
the vehicle, the column is extremely
susceptible to damage.
• Dropping the column assembly on its end
could collapse the steering shaft or loosen
the plastic shear pins which maintain
column length.
• Leaning on the column assembly could
cause it to bend or deform.
Any of the damage could impair the column’s
collapsible design.
Steering column mounting nuts should not
be loosened with steering shaft joint upper
side bolt tightened as this could cause
damage to shaft joint bearing.
NOTE
When servicing steering column or any
column-mounted component, remove
steering wheel. But when removing steering
column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel
installed on steering column.

P/S System NoteS6RW0D6300001
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
during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.
Precautions in Diagnosing TroublesS6RW0D6300002
• Take a note of DTC indicated on the SUZUKI scan tool.
• Before inspection, be sure to read “Precautions for Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” and understand what is
written there.
• DTC C1122 (engine speed signal failure) is indicated when ignition switch is at ON position and engine is not
running, but it means there is nothing abnormal if indication changes to a normal one when engine is started.
• As DTC is stored in memory of the P/S control module, be sure to clear memory after repair by performing the
procedure described in “DTC Clearance”.

NOTE
• As execution of “DTC Clearance” will clear all DTCs, be sure to record all DTCs before service.
• DTC C1122 is indicated when ignition switch is at ON position and engine is not running, it means
that nothing is abnormal.
• Current DTC and history DTC can be identified by condition of the “EPS” warning light.
“EPS” warning light operates as follows.

1) Check and repair according to “Steering Symptom
Diagnosis in Section 6A” and “P/S System Symptom
Diagnosis”.
Are check and repair complete?Go to Step 11. Check and repair
malfunction part(s), and
go to Step 11.
9 ) Troubleshooting for DTC
1) Check and repair according to applicable DTC diag. flow.

Step 8: Steering Symptom Diagnosis and P/S
System Symptom Diagnosis
Perform basic steering system check according to
“Steering Symptom Diagnosis in Section 6A” first. When
the end of the flow has been reached, check the parts of
the system suspected as a possible cause referring to
“P/S System Symptom Diagnosis” and based on
symptoms appearing on the vehicle (symptoms obtained
through steps of customer complaint analysis, trouble
symptom confirmation and/or basic P/S system check)
and repair or replace faulty parts, if any.
Step 9: Troubleshooting for DTC (See each DTC
Diag. Flow)
Based on the DTC indicated in Step 6 or 7 and referring
to the applicable DTC diag. flow, locate the cause of the
trouble, namely in a sensor, switch, wire harness,
connector, actuator, P/S control module or other part and
repair or replace faulty parts.
Step 10: Intermittent Problems Check
Check parts where an intermittent trouble is easy to
occur (e.g., wire harness, connector, etc.), referring to
“Intermittent and Poor Connection Inspection in Section
00” and related circuit of DTC recorded in Step 2.
Step 11: Final Confirmation Test
Confirm that the problem symptom has gone and the P/
S system is free from any abnormal conditions. If what
has been repaired is related to the DTC, clear the DTC
once, perform DTC confirmation procedure and confirm
that no DTC is indicated.
“EPS” Warning Light CheckS6RW0D6304002
1) Turn ignition switch to ON position (but without
running engine) and check if the “EPS” warning light
(1) lights up. If the light dose not light up, go to
““EPS” Warning Light Does Not Come ON with
Ignition Switch Turned ON before Engine Starts” of
the diagnostic flows.
2) Start engine and check that “EPS” warning light turns
OFF. If light remains ON and no DTC is stored in P/S
control module, go to ““EPS” Warning Light Remains
ON Steady after Engine Starts” for troubleshooting.
DTC CheckS6RW0D6304003
1) Turn ignition switch to OFF position.
2) Connect SUZUKI scan tool to data link connector
(DLC) (1) located on underside of instrument panel
at driver’s seat side.
Special tool
(A): SUZUKI scan tool
3) Start engine.
4) Read DTC according to the instructions displayed on
SUZUKI scan tool. For further details, refer to
operator’s manual for SUZUKI scan tool.
NOTE
• If communication between SUZUKI scan
tool and the vehicle can not be
established, perform “DLC and Its
Communication Check (No communication
to P/S Control Module)”.
• DTC C1122 (engine speed signal failure) is
indicated when ignition switch is at ON
position and engine is not running, but it
means there is nothing abnormal if
indication changes to a normal one when
engine is started.
5) After completing the check, turn ignition switch to
OFF position and disconnect SUZUKI scan tool from
DLC.
