Fuel guage works but no fuel lights come on

no year car, nor in what country, nor tank sizes.. ouch.the early warning light comes on at very low fuel.so you use that to fill up?, it's not for that, its only for those, that forget ? (city drivers?)never used 100 miles from a station. oops....on our cars, it comes on near 1/8 of tank or less. USA (varies by engine class unstated by you.)First off, the sender is very very crude device, ever see one>? (a spindle of wire forming a rheostat, like in year 1900, brutal simple) and the is set to 0.2 x gallons, full.(on some)so 10 gallons would be 2 gallons left. but like i said its very crude, .The PCM just watches the voltage there,and is hard coded to turn the lamp on , at low level. (not precision)it's only there for folks that forget.if it is dead, the lamp is just burned out. period. replace lamp.. (key on self lamp self test show that lamp works?)some swift books show, 7.5Liter of fuel, lamps on.but be aware of 2 more factsthat pump is fuel cooled and fuel lubricated.so why GO THERE ? and risk burning up a fully good pump. and a $500 repair bill.keep it above 1/4 at all times and WIN, I promise !gas here is $1.63 a gal.. cheap enough to burn....LOL

Eps light is on

First thing to eliminate is a weak battery. Have it checked because if the battery is failing to hold charge or is down on power it will trigger the EPS light on your Swift. ( Many vehicle batteries will only last 3-4 years before giving trouble). If in doubt replace the battery with a new one. Otherwise, if the light remains on, you will need to have the vehicle scanned to see what fault codes the engine's computer is generating and take it from there. With the EPS warning displayed, there will be fault codes generated.

How can i get to fuses located under steering wheel of suzuki swift, 1.5 auto. The dashboard facia is in the way, and i can't get to the fuse box. My radio, cigar lighter are not working.

some of these are held in place with screws and others snap into place. you will have to look closely to find them. if you don`t find any screws then it probably snaps into place.

Hi I have broken

hi there if your key has broken in the barrel you might be able to get it out with a strong magnet or a pin if not you will have to take the barrel out and strip it down if its broken at the **** of the key you may only need that peice and take it to timpsons they can cut you a new one. If the key is broken further towards the tip you will need both parts and a key cutter will still be able to cut you a new one hope this was a wee bit of help to you

When stalled car will not start again for some time and battery seems dead. What is this?

that is because it is dead? that key dead thing is called NO CRANK, not no start. no car starts unless cranked, or push started or gravity started, so its a NO Crank issue, and the stalls, well if the battery drops below 10v the EFI system stop working just like your lap top does, or CEL phone and for same reasons. most folks do a jumper cable crank next. like the AAA tow truck man does first, and for good reasons. this proves what is wrong, 1: battery was dead (car cranks now) 2: starter dead. or key line dead, if not. cranking now. my guess is its #1 if battery was dead, then it is
  • bad battery.
  • only discharged, so why not charge it?
  • or phantom drains, (over night parking battery dies)
  • or alternator is dead, (chargelight glowing? test alt.

Hi guys I have a 2007 Suzuki swift sport and today I noticed a loud humming buzz when I'm idling, it's rather concerning... Would u guys have any idea what it is?

Power steering or toque converter. Check the powers steering fluid and the transmission fluid. Power steering/ Fluid usually helps, Check for leaks and fix. Toque converter, Check the fluid, look at the fluid (how dark it is) smell the fluid is it burnt? If it is low add fluid, but this won't help the noise coming from the toque converter. Eventually it will give out and the vehicle won't move. The sooner you fix this problem, the less it will cost you.

How do i check oil level in gearbox of suzuki swift 2009

Gearbox oil can't be checked because it is sealed and needs to be drained out and checked for metal parts if there is damage to the gears. Take your vehicle to an authorised service centre if you suspect it is the gear box. Humming noise may be something else- like less engine oil or a defective AC intake (blocked tray) or some loose vibration.

I have a suzuki swift 2002 my key broke in barrel so have brought replacement ignition barrel and key.when it came they sent an immobilizer also do i need to change immobilizer to if so where is it on

why not just install the key assemble with old immo ring and turn the key. IMMO light off, end story. no matter what, id never put in the new IMMO as that can make the PCM think you are a theif and brick the PCM. the book explains all this why do you guess? 2001 may match https://suzukipitstopplus.com/Category/3-suzuki-service-manuals.aspx no country stated. so??? suzuki shut down in USA and canada for cars. (not ATVs) so buy parts is hassle and service zero. the book tells you the rules. read it read how to change out the key assembly all steps are clearly stated. and warnings too.
