– Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or
more.
• When using On-vehicle type wheel
balancing equipment (1), be sure to select
4WD system to 4WD-auto mode or 4WD-
lock mode and jack up all four wheels, off
the ground completely and support vehicle
with safety stands (2).
Be careful of other wheels, which will
rotate at the same time.
Using it with 2WD mode may damage
coupling.
• This vehicle should be towed under one of
the following conditions:
– With all wheels on a flatbed truck.
– With all wheels on the ground.
Precautions for Catalytic ConverterS6RW0D0000004
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use
only unleaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large
amount of unburned gasoline enter the converter or it
can be damaged.
• Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary,
make it as short as possible, and do not open the
throttle.
• Conduct engine compression checks within the
shortest possible time.
• Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire
(e.g. starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly
empty.)[A]: Testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester.

Repair Instructions
Electrical Circuit Inspection ProcedureS6RW0D0006001
While there are various electrical circuit inspection
methods, described here is a general method to check
its open and short circuit by using an ohmmeter and a
voltmeter.
Open Circuit Check
Possible causes for the open circuit are as follows. As
the cause is in the connector or terminal in many cases,
they need to be checked particularly carefully.
• Loose connection of connector
• Poor contact of terminal (due to dirt, corrosion or rust
on it, poor contact tension, entry of foreign object etc.)
• Wire harness being open
When checking system circuits including an electronic
control unit such as ECM, TCM, ABS control module,
etc., it is important to perform careful check, starting with
items which are easier to check.
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable from battery
2) Check each connector at both ends of the circuit
being checked for loose connection. Also check lock
condition of connector if equipped with connector
lock.
3) Using a test male terminal, check both terminals of
the circuit being checked for contact tension of its
female terminal. Check each terminal visually for
poor contact (possibly caused by dirt, corrosion, rust
entry of foreign object, etc.). At the same time, check
to make sure that each terminal is locked in the
connector fully.4) Using continuity check or voltage check the following
procedure, check the wire harness for open circuit
and poor connection with its terminals. Locate
abnormality, if any.
Continuity Check
1) Measure resistance between connector terminals at
both ends of the circuit being checked (between “A-
1” and “C-1” in the figure). If no continuity is indicated
(infinity or over limit), that means that the circuit is
open between terminals “A-1” and “C-1”.
2) Disconnect the connector included in the circuit
(connector-B in the figure) and measure resistance
between terminals “A-1” and “B-1”.
If no continuity is indicated, that means that the
circuit is open between terminals “A-1” and “B-1”. If
continuity is indicated, there is an open circuit
between terminals “B-1” and “C-1” or an abnormality
in connector-B.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.

positions and for good performance of transaxle in any
position.
With automatic transaxle equipped vehicle, also check
that shift indicator indicates properly according to which
position select lever is shifted to.
With automatic transaxle equipped vehicle, make sure
that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting select lever
to “P” range position and release all brakes.
Brake
Foot brake
Check the following:
• that brake pedal has proper travel,
• that brake works properly,
• that it is free from noise,
• that vehicle does not pull to one side when brake is
applied.
• and that brake do not drag.
Parking brake

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1A-6 Engine General Information and Diagnosis:
• As a condition for detecting a malfunction in some
areas in the system being monitored by ECM and
turning ON the malfunction indicator lamp (1) due to
that malfunction, 2 driving cycle detection logic is
adopted to prevent erroneous detection.
• When a malfunction is detected, engine and driving
conditions then are stored in ECM memory as freeze
frame data. (For the details, refer to description on
“Freeze Frame Data: ”.)
• It is possible to communicate via DLC (3) by using not
only SUZUKI scan tool (2) but also CAN
communication OBD generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be accessed by using a scan tool.)
Warm-Up Cycle
A warm-up cycle means sufficient vehicle operation such
that the coolant temperature has risen by at least 22 °C
(40 °F) from engine starting and reaches a minimum
temperature of 70 °C (160 °F).
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of engine startup and engine
shutoff.2 Driving Cycle Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first driving cycle is
stored in ECM memory (in the form of pending DTC) but
the malfunction indicator lamp does not light at this time.
It lights up at the second detection of same malfunction
also in the next driving cycle.
Pending DTC
Pending DTC means a DTC detected and stored
temporarily at 1 driving cycle of the DTC which is
detected in the 2 driving cycle detection logic.
Freeze Frame Data
ECM stores the engine and driving conditions (in the
form of data as shown in the figure) at the moment of the
detection of a malfunction in its memory. This data is
called “Freeze frame data”.
Therefore, it is possible to know engine and driving
conditions (e.g., whether the engine was warm or not,
where the vehicle was running or stopped, where air/fuel
mixture was lean or rich) when a malfunction was
detected by checking the freeze frame data. Also, ECM
has a function to store each freeze frame data for three
different malfunctions in the order as each malfunction is
detected. Utilizing this function, it is possible to know the
order of malfunctions that have been detected. Its use is
helpful when rechecking or diagnosing a trouble.
