Distributor: Testing and Inspection

1993 Mazda MX-3 V6-1844cc 1.8L DOHCSECTION Testing and Inspection
In the electronic engine control system utilized on this vehicle, two signals generated by the distributor crank angle sensor are used by the ECU in its calculations for various outputs. When problems with these signals are detected, malfunction codes are set and can be retrieved from the on-board diagnostic system.

A faulty "Ne" signal will set malfunction code 04. A problem with the "G" signal will set malfunction code 03. Refer to Computers and Control Systems for diagnostic information.
