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.

Active Adaptive Shift (AAS)
Active Adaptive Shift (AAS) automatically controls the transaxle shift points to best suit the road conditions and driver input. This improves driving feel. The transaxle may switch to AAS mode when driving up and down slopes, cornering, driving at high elevations, or depressing the accelerat ...

Hill Launch Assist (HLA)
Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is a function which assists the driver in accelerating from a stop while on a slope. When the driver releases the brake pedal and depresses the accelerator pedal while on a slope, the function prevents the vehicle from rolling. The braking force is maintained automati ...

Inspecting Engine Oil Level
Be sure the vehicle is on a level surface. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. Turn it off and wait at least 5 minutes for the oil to return to the oil pan. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, and reinsert it fully. Pull it out again and examine the level ...
