WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
- PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Perform the specific inspections for the following parts:
- CMP sensor (See CAMSHAFT POSITION (CMP) SENSOR INSPECTIONΒ .)
- Main relay (See RELAY INSPECTION .)
- Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON position.
- Measure the PID value.
- If PID value is not within the specification, follow the instructions in Action column.
NOTE:
- The PID/DATA MONITOR function monitors the calculated value of the input/output signals in the PCM. Therefore, an output device malfunction is not directly indicated as a malfunction of the monitored value for the output device. If a monitored value of an output device is out of specification, inspect the monitored value of the input device related to the output control.
- For input/output signals except those of the monitoring items, use a voltmeter to measure the PCM terminal voltage.
- The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are as follows.
- ACCS, ALTF, ARPMDES, ETC_DSD, EVAPCP, FAN1, FAN2, FAN3, FP, FUELPW1, GENVDSD, HTR11, HTR12, IAC, IASV, IMRC, IMTV, INJ_1, INJ_2, INJ_3, INJ_4, SEGRP, test, VT DUTY1
