Front Strut Assembly Disassembly and
Reassembly
S6RW0D2206004
Disassembly
1) Attach special tool (A) to coil spring as shown. Turn
special tool bolts alternately until coil spring tension
is released. Rotate the strut around its axis to
confirm that the coil spring is released or not.
Special tool
(A): 09943–25010
2) While keeping coil spring compressed with special
tools, remove strut support lower nut with hexagon
wrench as shown figure.
3) Disassemble front strut assembly.Reassembly
For assembly, reverse disassembly procedure, noting
the following instructions.
1) Compress coil spring with special tool (A) until total
length becomes about 280 mm (11.0 in.) as shown.
Length
“a”: 280 mm (11.0 in.)
2) Install compressed coil spring to strut, and place coil
spring end (2) onto spring lower seat (1) as shown.
NOTE
End of coil spring must not interfere with
step of spring lower seat.

Irregular and/or Premature Wear DescriptionS6RW0D2401003
Irregular and premature wear has many causes. Some
of them are as follows: incorrect inflation pressures, lack
of tire rotation, driving habits, improper alignment.
If the following conditions are noted, tire rotation is
necessary:
• Front tire wear is different from rear’s.
• Uneven wear exists across tread of any tires.
• Both sides of front tire wears are not even.
• Both sides of rear tire wears are not even.
• There is cupping, flat spotting, etc.
A wheel alignment check is necessary if following
conditions are noted:
• Both sides of front tire wears are not even.
• Wear is uneven across the tread of any front tire.
• Front tire treads have scuffed appearance with
“feather” edges on one side of tread ribs or blocks.
Wear Indicators DescriptionS6RW0D2401004
Original equipment tires have built-in tread wear
indicators (1) to show when they need replacement.
These indicators (1) will appear as 12 mm (0.47 in.) wide
bands when the tire tread depth becomes 1.6 mm (0.063
in.).
When the indicators (1) appear in 3 or more grooves at 6
locations, tire replacement is recommended.
Radial Tire Waddle DescriptionS6RW0D2401005
Waddle is side to side movement at the front and/or rear
of the vehicle. It is caused by the steel belt not being
straight within the tire. It is most noticeable at a low
speed, 8 to 48 kph (5 to 30 mph).
It is possible to locate the faulty tire by road testing the
vehicle. If it is on the rear, the rear end of the vehicle
shakes from side to side or “waddles”. To the driver in
the seat, it feels as though someone is pushing on the
side of vehicle.
If the faulty tire is on the front, waddling is more visual.
The front sheet metal appears to be moving back and
forth and the driver feels as though he is at the pivot
point in vehicle.
Waddle can be quickly diagnosed by using Tire Problem
Detector (TPD) and following the equipment
manufacture’s recommendations.
If TPD is not available, an alternative method of
substituting known-good tire / wheel assemblies can be
used as follows, although it takes a longer time.
1) Ride vehicle to determine whether the front or rear
waddles.
2) Install tires and wheels that are known to be good
(on similar vehicle) in place of those on waddling end
of vehicle. If waddling end cannot be identified,
substitute rear ones.
3) Road test again. If improvement is noted, reinstall
originals one at a time till waddle causal tire is found.
If no improvement is noted, install known-good tires
in place of all four. Then reinstall originals in the
same manner.
[A]: Hard Cornering, under inflation or lack of tire rotation
[B]: Incorrect wheel alignment, tire construction not uniform or wheel
heavy acceleration

5) Measure voltage at resistance without wheel
rotation.If voltage is out of specification, check
sensor, mating encoder and their installation
conditions.
Voltage at the resistance (115
Ω) without wheel
rotation
680 – 960 mV
6) Measure voltage at resistance with wheel rotation
and confirm voltage alternately changes between
high and low voltages.If voltage does not change
with wheel rotation, check sensor, mating encoder
and their installation conditions.
Voltage at the resistance (115
Ω) with wheel
rotation
High voltage “a”: 1360 – 1930 mV
Low voltage “b”: 680 – 960 mV
Reference
When using oscilloscope for this check, check if peak-to-
peak voltage and waveform meet specification.
Peak-to-peak voltage at the resistance (115
Ω) with
wheel rotation
High voltage “a”: 1360 to 1930 mV

Front Wheel Speed Sensor Removal and
Installation
S6RW0D4506006
CAUTION!
• Do not pull wire harness when removing
and installing front wheel speed sensor.
• Do not cause damage to surface of front
wheel speed sensor and do not allow dust,
etc. to enter its installation hole.

Removal
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery.
2) Disconnect front wheel speed sensor connector (1).
3) Hoist vehicle and remove wheel.
4) Remove harness clamp, clamp bolt (2).

3) Check that engine starts in “N” and “P” ranges but it
doesn’t start in “D”, “2”, “L” or “R” range. Also, check
that back-up lamp lights in “R” range.
If faulty condition cannot be corrected by adjustment,
disconnect transmission range sensor connector
and check that continuity exists as shown by moving
manual select lever.
Output Shaft Speed Sensor (VSS) Removal and
Installation
S6RW0D5106010
Removal
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Disconnect output shaft speed sensor connector (2).
3) Remove output shaft speed sensor (VSS) (1) by
removing its bolt.
Installation
1) Apply A/T fluid to output shaft speed sensor O-ring.
2) Install output shaft speed sensor (VSS) (1) to A/T
case and tighten bolt to specified torque.
Tightening torque
Output shaft speed sensor (VSS) bolt (a): 13
N·m (1.3 kgf-m, 9.5 lb-ft)3) Connect output shaft speed sensor connector (2) to
output shaft speed sensor (VSS) (1).
4) Connect negative cable to battery.
Output Shaft Speed Sensor (VSS) InspectionS6RW0D5106011
1) Connect positive cable of 12 volt battery to “A”
terminal of sensor and ground cable to “C” terminal.
Then using voltmeter, check voltage between “B”
terminal and “C” terminal with output shaft speed
sensor (VSS) driven gear rotated.
If measured voltage (pulse signal) is not as
specified, replace sensor.
Output shaft speed sensor (VSS) output voltage
Pulse signal of alternating 0 – 1 V and 10 – 14 V

Not Using SUZUKI Scan Tool
NOTE
In case of malfunction of temperature
selector, blower speed selector and air flow
selector, DTC can not be checked by the
following procedure. Use SUZUKI scan tool
for DTC check.

1) Light over sunload sensor vertically with an
incandescent light of approximately 100 W apart
from about 100 mm (3.94 in.).
NOTE
If sunload sensor is not lighted over with an
incandescent light, DTC of sunload sensor is
detected as current DTC even though there is
not any malfunction.

2) Set the following selectors to specified positions
below respectively with ignition switch off position.
• Temperature selector (1) is maximum cool
position
• Blower speed selector (2) is OFF position
• Air flow selector (3) is AUTO position
3) While pressing A/C switch (4) and air intake selector
(5) simultaneously, turn ignition switch to ON
position.
4) Wait for about 5 seconds (start of diagnosis).
5) Read flashing pattern of “FRE” (6) and “REC” (7)
indicator lights which represents DTC and write it
down.
NOTE
• When 2 or more current DTCs are
detected, only DTC having the highest
priority is indicated. Therefore, after
troubleshooting the malfunction, DTC
check has to be performed again to see if
any other DTC(s) is detected.
• Pressing “A/C” switch alternates display
of current DTC and history DTC. “A/C”
indicator light (8) remains off when display
is in current DTC mode and it lights up
when display is in history DTC mode.
• When a history DTC is indicated while 2 or
more history DTCs are detected, it is
possible to have other history DTC(s)
stored in HVAC control module displayed
by pressing the air intake selector.

Example: When inside air temperature sensor
circuit malfunction (Open) is set
Example: When VSS signal failure (Data error) is
set
6) After completing above check, turn ignition switch to
“OFF” position.
[A]: “REC” indicator light L: OFF
[B]: “FRE” indicator light a. About 0.5 seconds
H: ON b. About 2 seconds
[A]: “REC” indicator light a. About 0.5 seconds
[B]: “FRE” indicator light b. About 3 seconds
H: ON c. About 1.5 seconds
L: OFF
