Propeller Shaft Joint Check
If universal joints and ball joint are suspected of
producing chattering or rattling noise, inspect them for
wear. For universal joint, check to see if cross spider
rattles in yokes are worn down and replace defective
propeller shaft assembly with new one.
Noise coming from universal joint and ball joint can be
easily distinguished from other noises because rhythm
of chattering or rattling is in step with cruising speed.
Noise is pronounced particularly on standing start or in
coasting condition (when braking effect of engine is
showing in the drive line).

4) Remove propeller shaft by removing center support
nuts (1).
CAUTION
!
Use care not to drop it. Otherwise, vibration
may occur during driving.
Installation
Reverse removal procedure to install propeller shaft,
noting the following point.
• When installing propeller shaft, align the match marks
(2). Otherwise, vibration may occur during driving.
• Use the following specification to torque each bolt and
nut.
Tightening torque
Propeller shaft bolt: 23 N·m (2.3 kgf-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Center support nut: 55 N·m (5.5 kgf-m, 40.0 lb-ft)
Propeller Shaft Inspection
1) Check propeller shaft joints for wear, play and
damage. If any defect is found, replace.
2) Check propeller shaft center support for biting of
foreign matter, crack, abnormal noise and damage. If
any defect is found, replace.

Questions and answers
Adjust throttle motor
The idle speed on a Suzuki SX4 should be controlled by the Idle Air Control Valve (IACV) rather than adjusting the idle screw on the throttle body, as the screw is factory set. Before using compressed air in the idle-air-bypass passages, the IACV should be removed to prevent damage to its delicate mechanism. If there is an issue with idle speed, checking the IACV function and referring to the SX4 service manual is recommended.

I have an issue of crank but not starting When I scan it brought this codeU0100 Which means no communication thou crank sensor wire was cut off but it was fix back What could be wrong and what could be the solution,
increasing revs when changing gears
The Suzuki SX4 may have increasing revs when changing gears due to its drive-by-wire system and the difference in final drive ratios between the manual (4.41) and automatic (2.81) transmissions. This difference causes high cruising RPMs in the manual version and sluggishness in the automatic. Additionally, if the revs climb while going uphill, it may be due to the transmission downshifting or kicking out of overdrive. Other possible causes include low transmission fluid, abuse, or a faulty transmission design.

My heater stopped working the blower **** is good, control unit ?
Possible issues with the heater in a Suzuki SX4 if the blower is working but the heater is not include:
1. Incorrect Temperature Output
- Temperature control cable broken or bent (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature control cable.
- Temperature selector faulty (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check the temperature selector.
- Incorrect installation of the temperature control cable (non-A/C and manual A/C) → Check and adjust the position as necessary.
- Temperature control door assembly broken → Repair the temperature control door assembly.
- Air ducts clogged → Repair air ducts.
- Heater core leaked or clogged → Replace the heater core.
- Heater hoses leaked or clogged → Replace heater hoses.
- Thermostat faulty → Check the thermostat.
- Temperature control actuator faulty (auto A/C) → Check the temperature control actuator.
- HVAC control module faulty (auto A/C) → Check the HVAC control module.
- Wiring or grounding faulty (auto A/C) → Repair as necessary.
2. Other Possible Causes
- Air flow control cable broken or bent → Check the air flow control cable.
Checking and addressing these components should help identify and resolve the heater issue.
