2006 SUZUKI SX4 Abs

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1H-9 Ignition System:
2) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating
temperature.
3) Make sure that all of electrical loads except ignition
are switched off.
4) Check to be sure that idle speed is within
specification.
5) Fix ignition timing by using “Fixed Spark Control” of
“Engine / Active Test” mode on scan tool.
6) Set timing light (1) to high-tension cord for No.1
cylinder and check that ignition timing is within
specification.
Initial ignition timing
fixed with SUZUKI scan tool: 5 ± 3° BTDC (at
specified idle speed)
Ignition order
1 – 3 – 4 – 2
Special tool
(A): 09930–764207) If ignition timing is out of specification, check the
followings.
• CKP sensor
• CKP sensor plate
• TP sensor
• CMP sensor
• CMP sensor rotor tooth of camshaft
• Vehicle speed signal from ABS hydraulic unit /
control module
• Knock sensor
• Timing chain cover installation
8) After checking initial ignition timing, release ignition
timing fixation by using scan tool.
9) With engine idling (throttle opening at closed position
and vehicle stopped), check that ignition timing is
about 5° – 15° BTDC (Constant variation within a
few degrees from 5° – 15° BTDC indicates no
abnormality but proves operation of electronic timing
control system.) Also, check that increasing engine
speed advances ignition timing.
If the check results are not satisfactory, check CKP
sensor and ECM.

3) Remove floor jack from rear axle.
4) Install rear wheel and tighten wheel nuts to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel nut: 85 N·m (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft)
5) Lower hoist and bounce vehicle up and down
several times to stabilize suspension.
6) Tighten nuts to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Rear shock absorber upper nut (a): 30 N·m (3.0
kgf-m, 22.0 lb-ft)
Rear shock absorber lower nut (b): 90 N·m (9.0
kgf-m, 65.0 lb-ft)
7) Install access hole cover (1) in quarter inner trim (2).Rear Shock Absorber InspectionS6RW0D2306003
• Inspect for deformation or damage.
• Inspect bushings for wear or damage.
• Inspect for evidence of oil leakage.
Replace any defective parts.
WARNING!
When handling rear shock absorber (1) in
which high-pressure gas is sealed, make
sure to observe the following precautions.
• Don’t disassemble it.
• Don’t put it into the fire.
• Don’t store it where it gets hot.
• Before disposing it, be sure to drill a hole
(approximately 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter)
(2) in it where indicated by arrow in the
figure and let gas and oil out.
Be sure to wear eye shield since the gas
itself is harmless but the absorber drill
hole debris maybe blown out.

Rear Shock Absorber Bush InspectionS6RW0D2306004
Inspect for cracks, deformation or damage. Replace any
defective parts.

“Rear Differential Dismounting and Remounting in
Section 3B”.
3) Remove rear fender lining (1) and then loosen rear
axle bolt (2) a little.
CAUTION!
Do not reuse rear axle bolt. Otherwise, bolt
may loosen.

4) Support both ends of rear axle (1) by using two floor
jacks (2).5) Detach each lower end (2) of shock absorbers (1)
(right and left) from rear axle.
6) Lower rear axle gradually as far down as the coil
spring can be removed.
CAUTION!
Be careful not to lower rear axle down too
much.
It may cause damage to brake flexible hose,
wheel speed sensor lead wire and parking
brake cable.

7) Remove coil spring (3).
