Mazda 3 Service Manual: On Board Diagnostic System Simulation Inspection [Fw6 A EL]

Mazda 3 Service Manual / Electrical / Data Network / On Board Diagnostic System Simulation Inspection [Fw6 A EL]

1. Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2.

2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the IDS.

a. Select “DataLogger”.

b. Select “Modules”.

c. Select “TCM”.

3. Select the simulation items from the PID table.

4. Perform the active command modes function, inspect the operations for each parts.

If the operation of output parts cannot be verified after the active command mode inspection is performed, this could indicate the possibility of an open or short circuit, sticking, or operation malfunction in the output parts.

Tire Rotation
To equalize tread wear, rotate the tires every 12,000 km (7,500 miles) at the latest or sooner if irregular wear develops. Mazda recommends to rotate every 8,000 km (5,000 miles) to help increase tire life and distribute wear more evenly. Inspect the tires for uneven wear and damage. Abno ...

Gate operator/Canadian Programming
Canadian radio-frequency laws require transmitter signals to “time-out” (or quit) after several seconds of transmission — which may not be long enough for HomeLink to pick up the signal during programming. Similar to this Canadian law, some U.S. gate operators are designed to “time-ou ...
