Simulation Function Procedure
2009 Mazda CX-9 FWD V6-3.7LSECTION Simulation Function Procedure
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [MZI-3.7]
Simulation Function Procedure
1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initial screen of the M-MDS.
- When using the IDS (laptop PC)
- Select "DataLogger".
- Select "Modules".
- Select "PCM".
- When using the PDS (Pocket PC)
- Select "Module Tests".
- Select "PCM".
- Select "DataLogger".
3. Select the simulation items from the PID table.
