Resistance Inspection

2008 Mazda 6 s Sport, 4D Hatchback, StandardSECTION Resistance Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Perform the following inspection only when directed.
  1. Disconnect MAP/boost air temperature sensor.
  2. Measure the resistance between the MAP/boost air temperature sensor terminals A and B using a tester.
    • If not as specified, replace the MAP/boost air temperature sensor. (See INTAKE AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
    • If the MAP/boost air temperature sensor is normal, but PID are out of specification, perform the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
