Precautions for Vehicles Equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
S7RS0B0000001
WARNING! 
• The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in the figure. When it is 
necessary to service (remove, reinstall and 
inspect) these parts, be sure to follow 
procedures described in Air Bag System 
section. Failure to follow proper 
procedures could result in possible air bag 
system activation, personal injury, damage 
to parts or air bag system being unable to 
activate when necessary.
• If the air bag system and another vehicle  system both need repair, SUZUKI 
recommends that the air bag system be 
repaired first, to help  avoid unintended air 
bag system activation.
• Do not modify the steering wheel,  dashboard, or any other air bag system 
components. Modifications can adversely 
affect air bag system performance and 
lead to injury.
• If the vehicle will be exposed to  temperatures over 93  °C (200  °F) (for 
example, during a paint baking process), 
remove the air bag system components 
beforehand to avoid component damage 
or unintended air bag system activation.
 
Diagnosis
• When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to  follow “Diagnosis” in Air Bag System section. 
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended 
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect 
parts replacement.
• Never use electrical test equipment other than that  specified.
WARNING! 
Never attempt to measure the resistance of 
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, 
passenger, side and curtain) and seat belt 
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is 
very dangerous as the electric current from 
the tester may deploy the air bag or activate 
the pretensioner.

Fastener CautionS7RS0B0000011
CAUTION! 
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall 
them at the same location from which they 
were removed. If a fastener needs to be 
replaced, use the correct part number 
fastener for that application. If the correct 
part number fastener is not available, a 
fastener of equal size and strength (or 
stronger) may be used. Fasteners that are not 
reused, and those requiring thread-locking 
compound, will be called out. The correct 
torque value must be used when installing 
fasteners that require it. If the conditions are 
not followed, parts or system damage could 
result.
 
Suspension CautionS7RS0B0000012
CAUTION! 
• All suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it 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 this part.
• Never attempt to heat, quench or  straighten any suspension part. Replace it 
with a new part or damage to the part may 
result.
 
Wheels and Tires CautionS7RS0B0000013
CAUTION! 
All wheel fasteners are important attaching 
parts in that they could affect the

Repair Instructions
Electrical Circuit Inspection ProcedureS7RS0B0006001
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 perfor m 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 te rminal is locked in the 
connector fully.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just for once.

There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored 
(striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color sy mbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”). The first symbo l represents the base color of the wire 
(“GRN” in the figure) and the second symbol represents  the color of the stripe (“YEL” in the figure).
Fasteners InformationS7RS0B0101004
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are JIS-
defined and ISO-defined metric fasteners. When 
replacing any fasteners, it is most important that 
replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread 
pitch and strength.
CAUTION! 
Even when the nominal diameter (1) of thread 
is the same, the thread pitch (2) or the width 
across flats (3) may vary between ISO and 
JIS. Refer to JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners 
Comparison Table below for the difference.
Installing a mismatched bolt or nut will cause 
damage to the thread.
Before installing, check the thread pitch for 
correct matching and then tighten it by hand 
temporarily. If it is tight, recheck the thread 
pitch.
 
JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property 
classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class 
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some 
metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark 
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the 
different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts 
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original 
fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is 
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the 
correct diameter and thread 
pitch. Correct replacement 
bolts and nuts are available through the parts division.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks 
correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers 
represent increasing strength).
