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.

Precautions
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”.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6C-6 Power Assisted Steering System:
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.
