Suzuki SX4 - Rear Wheel Bearing & A Hard To Clear ABS Light
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ส.ค. 2024
- In this video I have a go at a customers Suzuki SX4 that came in with an ABS light on. A visual inspection after reading the codes revealed a corroded and broken wire at the right rear ABS sensor. It's wheel bearing time!

If Erics not going to say it, I will ..."Welcome Back Viewers To South Main Auto, We Got A Suzuki with the BIG 4 cylinder" There ... now I can go watch.
lmao
you forgot the mileage
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@parad... Thought these were 3 cylinders ❓
He would say the displacement, not number of cylinders. "....the big 1.4"
In michigan yesterday we has our big bay door open.the first day in the season you do it. it is awesome.fresh air while working really lifts your spirits.
Oh man it sure does. Love that first day we get to leave the bay doors open all afternoon. Sure makes you feel good!
Yea then by July it’s so ass-hot outside, you’re begging for fall to roll around
As the official bearing aficionado of this channel, we haven't had a bearing video in a while!
Almost as long as having the brakleen
@@thomasfletcher760😂
I so want an interview with "mowerman"
The guy should just bring the mower in for service.
@@michaelsnively3621 - It would be brought in weekly if it's operating hour-based maintenance.
Love the wind up this morning "going to throw some parts at it". I love Eric's sense of humour.
Hello to the O's from the li'l ole England...
I never understand why anyone would say negative things about your work. You do excellent work. I think you work on everyone's car as if it was your own.
Some people thinks that they are just better than others. It's pretty common in the US I guess
Such as the torque Nazis. If they had any idea about reality, they would understand that torque figures on stuff like this don't matter much. Tight enough to not come loose, and loose enough that you don't over stretch the bolt. This can all be done by feel.
@@paulstandaert5709 no I don't think so. Torque is important specifically on a part which literally holds the wheel. But I know what you mean. I had a co worker who used a torque wrench on m6 bolts from the window lifting part. When saw this I had to leave otherwise I would laugh. In some cases it's really torqued to feel but it should be a really good experience for the stuff you work on it or at least use a bit lock tide.
@@imtheeastgermanguy5431 some people have no aptitude for the feel of a bolt tightening to a sufficient amount, in which case a torque wrench is going to be necessary. I have tightened probably tens of thousands of fasteners over the decades and just know the feel. When bolts are rusty, the torque figures are bogus because of the friction coefficient. A rusty fastener will take a lot more torque to achieve the same clamping force as that of a freshly plated bolt going into clean metal. When it takes 35 ft lbs just to get that axle nut to move before it actually clamps anything, that alone makes the torque figure bogus.
And the way I learned it is that as long as a fastener has sufficient thread engagement and is appropriately stretched, no amount of vibrations will loosen it. If they do get violent enough to loosen the fastener, the forces involved have exceeded the yield strength of the bolts and now the whole fastening system has been weakened significantly. But a bolt will still keep it in place. This is where thread locking can be beneficial. Also in situations where the fastener cannot be sufficiently stretched. Like a steel nut and bolt holding a toilet seat on. Stretching the bolt would crack the ceramic. That toilet seat WILL come loose over time. Thread locker can prevent that.
Nobody takes the time to clean up like you do great work.
I was a mechanic at a Suzuki dealership in the late 2000's and we didn't have many problems with them. I bought a 2000 Grand Vitara and drove it for 17 years and 160K miles with no codes on any systems and zero repairs other then normal maitness items. I wish Suzuki still sold vehicles in the US
I still own and drive a suzy gv 2006, still going strong at 170k! Love my Suzy ❤
‘04 GV 166k; ‘10 GV 189k here! Surprisingly great vehicles!
2008 sx4 with 130.000 miles and no problems,
O7 sx4 with 250,000 it was great
Hey, forget about it, I never had a doubt that you would get it fixed Eric. You deserve some ice cream after this one.
Even if the video is about a car that I know I will never work on, I will still watch just for the torque spec trolling. Eric is awesome!
Almost 3K views in only 50 minutes. That says ALLOT about your viewers and more importantly why they follow you! Awesome job!

Eric was on fire today with the jokes and sarcasm... one of the reasons I love watching!
I worked with some of the best techs in the business at GM Engineering. Eric would put them on ice. He takes on these rusty pieces of crap with fervor and wins the battle every time. Epic!
I'd watch SMA even if I had to sit through ads. It's that good !
You know, back in the day, the only time I ever used a torque wrench was for head bolts. I don't remember any of my cars falling apart.
What’s amazing to me about Eric is how consistently “on” he is… if I took videos EVERY DAY at work I can assure you in at least half of them I’d be in a crap mood or at least not feel like explaining what I’m doing.
When you love what you do, work becomes zen
And have your love in the next room.
I've been following him since 2018 and I only remember him being in a foul mood once. Apparently he was mad at his kids. He was reallly upset. There are also times when he's sick but for the most part he's our Eric. I usually watch Ivan's channel first, then Eric's.
Absolute faith in your lift. Donkey kick the wheel, while it's on the vehicle, from UNDER the car. Eric really is my hero. Fear nothing.
The lift has pins every foot and a half or so, and after you've lifted the vehicle in the air, it's usually lowered onto the 4 pins, securing it and preventing it from falling should the lift hydraulics fail.
I worked for an import dealer as a Kia and Mitsu tech, and they needed a Suzuki tech when they picked up the Suzuki line (before Suzuki quit making cars for the American market). Guess who got thrown into that role? Anyway, I had this EXACT same issue on a Suzuki. Drove me nuts. I called tech assist (their were only 2 guys on tech assist for all of America at that time). They told me the way to clear ABS codes was to run a dtc test, while driving above 40 mph, and clear it while driving. Then disconnect the OBD2 connecter, reconnect it, and re test for codes. All while driving! Insane. I had tried everything before that, including just driving the car. Tech Assist's hokey pokey solution worked.
Wonderful, classic episode Eric. Love those wheel bearing and brake job vidjas. Full of ugga dugga action, old-school wisdom, martial arts and Fluid Film. The only thing missing was the brake cleaner. We can't always get what we want, but we always get what we need! ha ha.
How much fun - if you are watching this video please keep in mind nobody is there with him other than the camera. He is basically talking to himself but does a good job like we are all there in the room with him. I love how he is able to actually interact with us -- this video was probably completed a while back. So much fun either way - he has a great personality and just loves to entertain the TH-cam crowd. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos and its always great to have a laugh -- all the while we are educated on how to work on our cars!
When you're good like Eric it all comes naturally.
I have worked on funky Suzuki cars in the UK for coming up 30 years. I was sitting here grinning like an idiot waiting for you to go on another road test and getting the magic point where it just says 🛤️ oh yeah man that’s far enough I can put the light out now. In general for the uk they are a good car for our salt belt. Loads of surface rust but not much in the way of falling to bit’s corrosion. Good video again boss
Great video as usual. For what it's worth, most critics of your videos are probably just jealous of your mechanical knowledge, experience, and professionalism. Keep it up!
I bought an 1832 Nano in 1/2", entirely because of watching you use that wrench. It's awesome. You're a great example for Astro... I hope they know it.
They know it
@@TorqueTestChannel Nice to see TTC here watching EricO.
Just a beautiful nuts and bolts fix...thanks for letting us look over your shoulder sir....NJ
I love how you are experienced and got control on what you are doing.
Eric explained torqueing with an extension very accurately, if you torque with a crowsfoot or any side angle adapter it will change your torque value on the bolt or nut, the reason you are limited on length of extension is because a super long extension will have some twist in it when applying a torque.
Even with a long extension, the torque value indicated by the torque wrench will be the same. There will be some twist of the long extension, but it does not affect the applied torque if it is applied slowly.
In the case of an impact wrench, the length of the extension affects the torque applied because the torque impulses are absorbed by the torsion of a long extension. The longer the extension, the lower the resulting torque. That's how torque limiter extensions work.
Everyone in my shop used to get mad at me for using an air hammer on rotors because the noise but after seeing you use that method it makes getting rotors off so much easier
81 degrees here today - 36 degrees tomorrow night. Should be 200 degrees by June with global warming and all. Love your videos man!
You’ve got me addicted to FF! I use this stuff on so many things. We live at the beach so everything rusts here.
“Lawn mower man already been outside.” Love it
One thing I like to do with my impact sockets when new, is to spray the inside of the socket with some oily type of lube and they tend to release better from the fastener. Astro makes some dang good tools for the money. Useful tools too. Calling yourself an a-hole is pretty mild, Eric. I've cussed at myself for a good hour sometimes depending on the mistake or problem. My wife told me it was somewhat amazing because I evidently never repeated my insults to myself or whatever I was working on.
South Main Auto = Real Life auto repairs
You have become very comfortable and entertaining, as well as educational! Thanks for sharing!
LMAO with lawn mower guy already being outside. He’s become a true staple at SMA
Eric, you are a master of automotive systems and excellent at giving us viewers understanding of them. Thanks .
You got one of those lawnmower man also...he was out the first warm day we had rolling the front yard...lol
Eric, you always do more work than most other shops would do, like cleaning up the surface and surrounding from the next repairs are easier for the easier to do.😊
Corrosion X HD (green label) works as well down here on the Texas coast instead of Fluid Film. Use it on my bay boat. The red label can be used in electronics so is perfect for spraying down my entire Yamaha outboard power head when performing my annual maintenance. 10 year old engine still looks new under the cowling. 😊
It's not always that easy in FL. Anything by the saltwater rusts just as badly. So it just matters where you live in FL lol. Another great video Eric O!
Yes, rest assured, it is a BIG engine!
Thank you for your video especially on the Suzuki since I have 2. One of them with over 201.000 miles. Stay bless.
The orange lock tight, holds like red, releases like blue,
Our efforts expended, yet outcomes askew.
In the grip of frustration, we struggle anew,
With each passing moment, uncertainty grew.
😢 so moving....
Thank you Erick for another entertaining video. Hope you and Ms O are doing okay
I suspect your hypotheses about the steering angle sensor is right, it's probably like the first gen Mazda 6 or RX8, steering stop to stop and the next key cycle she'll be cleared. Amazing this little SX4 wasn't rotted out in your land or rust!
Greetings from Australia Eric. Love the channel and respect to Mrs. O for putting up with you
Gotta love the minute-maid thread lock
No mercy reversey...I love it
The commentary while working on the chevy tracker/Suzuki was seamless. Probably took longer to reset the codes than fix the bearing. Happy Friday from south central Michigan.
Love my 2000 Grand Vitara V6 4wd manual. Had to wait a few weeks for Safelite to find a windshield this year. Had to rig a different but similar EVAP solenoid since OEM no longer available. It is a challenge, but that Suzuki is one of my fleet thats easier to get parts for.
Suzuki, yugo, Citroen and more. People love em! Well, you got it fixed and on it's way. Good one
Mr. O!
Nice to see someone other than me still use the good ole air tools.
so, a while back i bought a can of fluid film after watching you use it for years now, I live in the south and have only used it on hubs for the occasional stuck wheel. Its good stuff. It does smell funny and after catching a whiff of it for the first time the ole goat noise, which wasent in this video by the way, is 100% accurate. Thanks for the great videos Mr. O.
Nice job Mr O. Been having problems with dodge one parts taking 2 or 3 weeks. I feel your pain.
Wheel bearing with an oriental mood :-) Good job, Eric!
I used to own the predecessor to the SX4, the Aerio, and it was was one of the best cars I ever owned. However I had to trade it in when Suzuki pulled out of America and parts became difficult to get in a timely manner.
I wonder if he checked to make sure he could get a bearing ahead of time or chance a multi-week wait from Japan?
I did a quick google search and was really surprised at how many other auto manufactures buy and rename (rebadge) Suzuki cars.
The best of the best. Thanks Eric.
Ah, what a nice wat to start the day, bright sunshine here in the UK, a plate of kippers for breakfast, South Main Auto on you tube, what more could somebody ask for. Well maybe an appearance from that lovely wife of your's Eric, because the interaction between you two is always worth watching....!
I wouldn't worry about it; I have called myself much worse. Love the video
Just be glad you didn't have the problem Jake had over at the "Automotive Diagnostics & Programming" channel. That one was wild!
Best in the Business ❤
I once had a small suzuki. Swift.. This model also had an issue with rear wheels bearings
My brother had a sidekick... Sad when he upgraded to a bigger SUV
If I could start my life over I would travel to two I would choose to go and learn it’s to north main or to the car care nut because you two guys are great mechanics but at my age I am too old now but I enjoy the work you guys do and your knowledge, thanks for sharing.
Since you used a torque wrench with an extension and a swivel, now I know it's okay for me to do it, too! Thanks, Mr. O!
Oh how I love the sound of air tools doin their job!
The bearing with all the stuff you need which is everything is likely cheaper than the few things you do need. Included is the time it requires to find, order, and install necessary components that wouldn't include the wheel bearing that could last forever but probably won't.
Learn something new everyday. Now my day is complete. Thanks.
"Yellow bag so if the parts bad you can stick over your head and breath deep," I just spit out my coffee and laughed hysterically. Without being insensitive, this is damn funny because I think we have all muttered the same thing at one time or another.
Perfect timing!! I saw a Suzuki on the way back to the house for the first time in as long as I can remember. I thought they stopped selling them in the states.
Yeah, looks like a good alternative to a similar Toyota RAV4 for the 4wd mini SUV gendre
But as Eric O stated, replacement part availability is dismal for this vehicle😢
Suzuki a brand are hugely popular here Australia and are generally very reliable. I’ve had 3 swifts.
Thanks I like it And think that big dawg zapper that loosened the rotor helped loosen the wheel bearing too🙃
Just drive the little guy. Hey i like those extended impact swivels.👌 Thanks Eric have a good weekend.
Well done. The Suzuki lives to fight another day.
Eric you always make me smile
Another episode of the Eric O comedy show "Thanks for watching".🤣
Ummm haven’t watched in a while ,what’s with the torque wrench on everything that doesn’t need it ,cause you know how tight it needs to be ,been a tech for30 years so is it just for the customer ,love the show keep up good work
Somehow the internet has prompted even the most qualified to take the extra step. I can see it with aluminum, and with thin steel (which is everywhere these days) where tolerances are narrow. Old school guys like us lived in the day when there was beefy rusted steel that would hold bolts tight even if undertorqued. And warping of thin rotors is a thing. I caught myself using a torque wrench for a pan drain bolt the other day, mainly because I wasn't confident in quality of the underlying threads....
Its not uncommon at all to be fair.. if I hadn't watched in a while I would be asking questions about treating extensions so caringly with a brass hammer 😂
Been up early with big storm coming through now and great to find two Eric O videos! Thanks you SMA and After hours!
Also I have changed a few wheel bearings and my 2017 Kia Forte S is way different you just get the front bearing itself and have to press it off and on a lot more labor but I got it done And a big kudos to you for your very interesting informative videos and you sure keep our interest to watch it all the way through 🔔
I would like to mention that i replaced the longitudinal cross member under the engine on my SX4 which rotted out. I had to order it off of ebay from the UAE. It arrived to me in Minnesota in THREE DAYS. It was like $180 or something eith free shipping which i thought would take a month or so.
I also ordered a transmission axle seal which Ebay said was coming from the UAE but actually came from Japan. Again, three days is all it took.
Sounds like you actually got it from Amayama. They have big warehouses in Japan and UAE for Japanese oems.
I started buying Astro because of you Eric O, thanks! But they ought to give you a commission or maybe just the right to test drive all their new stuffs.
He does do some testing.
They take care of me ;)
@@SouthMainAuto Good, you deserve it plus I got better tools from your exposure.
I also have bought tons of Astro tools based off of this channel. Great stuff so far.
Eric as a user of the Orange Loctite I can tell you it holds less than the Red (not by much though) and releases with slightly more force than the blue (again not by much). I've used it for quite a while now and have had to remove things I had put on with it. Keep on keeping on Bud and thanks for your videos!
My wife had one of these 2010 SX4 we bought used. It was a good, cheap, dependable car. However, after Suzuki pulled out of the US, parts were becoming an issue and we traded it off.
I cant believe that people would be that critical of your work. Lol. Always a great job.
Thanks Mr. O.
I've got 2 Suzuki Swift Sport in Australia....great cars.
I know in most cases you need to test drive the customers car & at least drive it into the shop, but I don' like driving other peoples cars. This is because when I was in HS I had to bring in a teachers car. It was an automatic but it was a disabled person's car that had a clutch petal that was converted into a gas petal. I got to the garage door and I pressed on the brake but I also pushed in "the clutch" petal and crashed into the garage door. It is second nature when you see a clutch petal you press it to the floor. I was forgiven and the only damage to the car was a turn signal lens. The door damage was minor.
If you ever decide to give up being a mechanic Eric, you should try stand up comedy. I enjoy your humorous commentary as much as the mechanical work.
Hey Eric I'm from maine love the content I own and operate a shop myself
I'm curious how much love Eric gives his air tools i.e. how often does he oil them?
Based on past videos, only when he needs a burst of extra power !
Or when they lock up lol @@davidquinn6161
Oil an air tool??? Isn't that what the water in the lines is for, to lube the tools LOL
Here in middle Tennessee the weather has been pretty good.
Off up the garage right now to fix shizzle..
The best is when you go to torque something and the bolt doesnt move. I love knowing I did better than the manufacturer rating.
Hey viewers! Welcome back to the South Main Auto channel. Today we got the Suzuki with the tiny 4 Cylinder. It's got christmas trees lighting up on the dashboard with a hint of ABS warning light so let's get to it.
I’m in Colorado in the middle of a 30” snow storm…we are at about 23” right now…prefer your weather! Ready for spring! Great video Eric and I loved the intro! 🇺🇸
Flex head, swivel handle 3/8 study impact is a beast, same exact power as the 1/2 . I believe the rating on the box is 400 ft lbs of torque.
I'm glad you didn't lose your mind..
If I were to venture a guess I would say Lawnmower man is an older married fella just trying to get a little time to himself. Anyway, great video with first rate commentary as always. Have a great weekend
Funny how previous video Eric said to not buy Ebay auto parts (counterfeit) and in this one I get an ad for them 😂😂
Lawn mower guy - "There's that Eric working with the door open again, better fire up the lawn mower"
