5) Tighten new bolts (1) until head of each bolt is broken off.
6) Turn ignition key to “ACC” or “ON” position and  check to be sure that st eering shaft (2) rotates 
smoothly. Also check for lock operation.
7) Install steering column. Re fer to “Steering Column 
Removal and Installation”.
8) If steering lock assembly has replaced, after  completing installation, register ignition key 
transponder code in ECM referring to “Registration 
of the Ignition Key in Section 10C”.
Steering Lower Shaft Removal and InstallationS7RS0B6206010
CAUTION! 
Never turn steering wheel while steering 
lower shaft is removed.
Should it have been turned and contact coil 
have got out of its centered position, it needs 
to be centered again. Also, turning steering 
wheel more than about two and a half turns 
will break contact coil.
 
Removal
1) Turn steering wheel so that vehicle’s front tires are at  straight-ahead position.
2) Turn ignition switch to LOCK position and remove  key.
3) Remove steering joint cover.
4) Make alignment marks (4) on lower shaft (1) and  shaft joint of steering colu mn (2) and lower shaft (1) 
and pinion shaft (3) for a guide during reinstallation.
5) Remove lower shaf t joint bolts (5).
6) Remove steering lower shaft (1). Installation
1) Be sure that front wheels are in straight forward  state.
2) Align flat part “A” of steering lower shaft (1) with bolt  hole “B” of shaft joint (2) of column as shown. Then 
insert lower shaft into shaf t joint of steering column 
with matching marks (4).
3) Insert lower shaft (1) into pinion shaft (3) with  matching marks (4).
4) Tighten joint bolt  (pinion shaft side) (6) to specified 
torque first and then joint  bolt (steering column side) 
(5) to specified torque.

Precautions
Steering System NoteS7RS0B6300001
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 TroublesS7RS0B6300002
• Take a note of DTC indicated on the SUZUKI scan tool.
• Before inspection, be sure to read “Pre cautions 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 indica tion 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”.

General Description
P/S System DescriptionS7RS0B6301001
This power steering (P/S) system consists of a P/S control module (3), a torque sensor (4), a motor (5). In this system, 
the P/S control module determines the level and direction of the assist force for the steering wheel (1) according to the 
signals from the torque sensor and vehicle speed signal from  ECM. The P/S control module runs the motor so as to 
assist the operation of the steering wheel.
The P/S control module diagnoses troubles which may occur  in the area including the following components when the 
ignition switch is ON and the engine is running. When the  P/S control module detects any malfunction, it stops the 
motor operation.
• Torque sensor
• Vehicle speed signal
• Engine speed signal
• P/S motor
• P/S control module.

EPS Diagnosis General DescriptionS7RS0B6301002
The P/S system in this vehicle is controlled by the P/S control module. T he P/S control module has an on-board 
diagnostic system which detects a malfunction in this system. When diagnosing troubles, be sure to have full 
understanding of the outline of “On-Board Diagnostic Sy stem Description” and each item in “Precautions in 
Diagnosing Troubles”, and then  execute diagnosis according to “EPS System Check”.
On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS7RS0B6301003
The P/S control module performs the on -board diagnosis (self-diagnosis) on the system and operates the “EPS” 
warning light (1) as follows.
• The “EPS” warning light lights when the ignition switch is  turned to ON position (but the engine at stop) regardless 
of the condition of the P/S co ntrol system. This is only to check if the “EPS” warning  light is operated properly.
• If the areas monitored by the P/S control module is free  from any trouble after the engine start (while engine is 
running), the “EPS” warning light turns OFF.
• When the P/S control module  detects a trouble which has occurred in th e monitored areas the “EPS” warning light 
comes ON while the engine is running to warn the driver of  such occurrence of the trouble and at the same time it 
stores the exact trouble area in memory inside of the P/S control module.
Driving Cycle
A “Driving Cycle” consists of en gine startup and engine shutoff.
3 Driving Cycles Detection Logic
The malfunction detected in the first and second driving cycl e is stored in P/S control module memory (in the form of 
pending DTC) but the “EPS” wa rning light does not light at these time. It lights up at t he third detection of same 
malfunction also in the next driving cycle.
