WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Mazda Tribute. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- The security access procedure is utilized to obtain passive anti-theft system (PATS) security access. PATS security access must be granted to erase ignition keys, enable/disable unlimited key mode, and enable/disable the spare key programming switch (PID SPARE_KEY). The security access procedure invokes an inherent 10-minute time delay prior to granting security access during which the WDS or equivalent Tester must remain connected to the vehicle. Once security access has been granted, a security access command menu is displayed which offers various command options.
