8) Disconnect front suspension control arm ball joint
stud from steering knuckle.
9) Pull out drive shaft joint as follows. • For differential sideUsing tire lever (1), pull out drive shaft joint (2) so
as to release snap ring fitting of joint spline at
differential side.
• For center shaft side Using plastic hammer (3), drive out drive shaft
joint (2) so as to release snap ring fitting of joint
spline at center shaft.
10) Remove drive shaft assembly. 11) Remove center bearing support bolts (3) and remove center bearing support (2) with center shaft (1) from

• Make sure that differential side joint is inserted fully and its snap ring is seated as
it was.

Install drive shaft assemb ly by reversing removal
procedure and noting the following points.
• Tighten each bolt and nut to the specified torque referring to “Front Drive Shaft Assembly Components
Location”.

Excessive Pedal Travel InspectionS7RS0B4106003
1) Start engine.
2) Depress brake pedal a few times.
3) With brake pedal depressed with approximately 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs) load, measure brake pedal to wall
(dash panel silencer) clearance “a”. If clearance “a”
is less than specification, the most possible cause is
air in lines. Should clearance “a” remain less than
specification even after bleeding of system, other
possible infrequent cause is booster push rod length
out of adjustment.
• Bleed brake system. Refer to “Air Bleeding of Brake System”.
Brake arm pedal to wall clearance “a”
When pedal depressed at 300 N (30 kg, 66 lbs):
over 75 mm (2.95 in.)
Brake Fluid Level InspectionS7RS0B4106004
1) Check master cylinder, reservoir and reservoir hose (if equipped) for crack, damage and brake fluid
leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct or
replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX and MIN marks on reservoir.
NOTE
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as
indicated on reservoir cap of that vehicle or
recommended in owner’s manual which
comes along with that vehicle. Use of any
other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX
lines marked on reservoir.
When brake warning lamp lights sometimes
during driving, replenis h fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake
system for leakage. Correct leaky points and
then refill to specified level.

CAUTION!
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a
container which has been used for mineral oil
or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion
of rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and
water mixed into brake fluid will lower fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.

Stop Light Switch AdjustmentS7RS0B4106005
Adjustment should be made as follows. Pull up brake
pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust
switch position so that clea rance between end of thread
and brake pedal is as specified. Then lock it by turning
clockwise.
Clearance between brake pedal and stop light switch
“a”: 1.2 – 2.2 mm (0.05 – 0.08 in.)

2) Hold brake pedal depressed for 30 seconds. If pedal height does not change, condition is good. But it isn’t
if pedal rises.
Brake Booster Removal and InstallationS7RS0B4106017
Removal
1) Recover refrigerant from A/C system by using recovery and recycling equipment referring to
“Operation Procedure for Refrigerant Charge in
Section 7B” or “Operation Procedure for Refrigerant

Brake Interlock System ConstructionS7RS0B5101004
Shift Lock Solenoid Control
This system consists of shift lock solenoid control
system and interlock cable control system.
The shift lock solenoid cont rol system is so designed
that the select lever can not be shifted from “P” range
position unless ignition switch is turned to “ON” or “ACC”
position and the brake pedal is depressed.
And interlock cable control system is so designed that
select lever cannot be shifted from “P” range position
unless ignition switch is turned to “ACC” or “ON”
position. Also, ignition key cannot be pulled out of key
slot unless select le ver is in “P” range.
Shift Lock Solenoid Manual Release
When push down shift lock solenoid valve release button
(1), select lever can be moved from “P” range position to
another range even without depressing the brake pedal.
(To shift select lever from “P” range to any other position,
turn ignition switch to ACC or ON position.)
A/T Diagnosis General DescriptionS7RS0B5101005
This vehicle is equipped with an electronic transaxle
control system, which controls the automatic shift up and
shift down timing, TCC operation, etc. suitably to vehicle
driving conditions.
TCM has an On-Board Diagnosis System which detects
a malfunction in this system.
When diagnosing a trouble in transaxle including this
system, be sure to have full understanding of the outline
of “On-Board Diagnostic System Description” and each
item in “Precautions in Diagnosing Trouble” and execute
diagnosis according to “A/T System Check” to obtain
correct result smoothly.
On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS7RS0B5101006
For automatic transaxle co ntrol system, TCM has the
following functions. Refer to “Inspection of TCM and Its
Circuits”.
• When ignition switch is turned ON with no malfunction in A/T control system is detected, transmission
warning light (1) lights for about 2 seconds after
ignition switch is turned ON and then goes OFF for
bulb check.
• When TCM detects a malfunction in A/T control system, it indicates transmission warning light (1) and
stores malfunction DTC in its memory.
• It is possible to communicate with TCM through data link connector (DLC) (3) by using SUZUKI scan tool
(2). Diagnostic information can be checked and
erased by using SUZUKI scan tool.
• For information about the following items, refer to “On- Board Diagnostic System De scription in Section 1A”
– Warm up cycle
– Driving cycle
– 2 Driving cycle detection logic
– Pending DTC
– Freeze frame data

WARNING!
Carry out test in very little traffic area to prevent an accident.
Test requires 2 persons, a driver and a tester.

The purpose of this test is to judge whether causal factor of trouble which occurred in automatic transaxle is electrical
or mechanical by disconnecting valve body harness co nnector (1) and fixing automatic transaxle gear position.
1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2) Turn ignition switch to OFF position and disconnect valve body harness connector (1).
3) Turn OFF all electrical loads. With select lever shifted to each ra nge (“L”, “2”, “3” and “D”), drive vehi cle at 1,000 rpm engine speed and then
check vehicle speed by referring to “Fixed gear position”.

Troubleshooting
Time Lag TestS7RS0B5104015
This test is to check conditions of clutch, brake and fluid pressure. “Time lag” means time elapsed since select lever is
shifted with engine idling till shock is felt.
1) With chocks placed before and behind front and rear wheels respectively, depress brake pedal.
2) Start engine.
3) With stop watch ready, shift select lever from “N” to “D” range an d measure time from that moment till shock is felt.
4) Similarly measure time lag by shifting select lever from “N” to “R” range.
Gear shifting time lag
“N” → “D”: Less than 0.7 sec.
“N” → “R”: Less than 1.2 sec.
NOTE
• When repeating this test, be sure to wait at least one minute after select lever is shifted back to “N”
range.
• Engine should be warmed up fully for this test.
• Repeat test 3 times and take average of those data for final time lag data.
