Magnet Clutch Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Suzuki Vitara, 2003 Suzuki Grand Vitara, 2002 Suzuki Vitara, and 2002 Suzuki Grand Vitara. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Check the following items.
- Inspect pressure plate and rotor for signs of oil.
- Check clutch bearings for noise and grease leakage.
- Using and ohmmeter (3), measure resistance of stator coil between clutch lead wire (1) and body ground (2).
If measured resistance is not within tolerance, replace coil.
Standard resistance for magnet clutch: 3.5 - 5.0 Ω at 20 °C (68 °F)
