POWER STEERING (P/S) SYSTEM

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System:
D Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to "Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View"
under "General Description" in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are per-
forming service on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARN-
INGS and "Service Precautions" under "On-Vehicle Service" in air bag system section before
performing service on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow
WARNINGS could result in unintentional activation of the system or could render the system
inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.
D Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned
to the "LOCK" position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the
system may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
NOTE:
D Some parts in the Power Steering Gear Box cannot be disassembled or adjusted. For detailed information,
refer to the description of POWER STEERING GEAR BOX COMPONENTS under REMOVE AND INSTALL
POWER STEERING GEAR BOX.
D 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.
D Although the figures in this section show only the left-hand steering vehicle, the same work procedure and
data apply to the right-hand steering vehicle.
