2014 Mazda 5 TouringFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Service Cautions: Dynamometer

  • When inspecting and servicing the power train on the dynamometer or speedometer tester, pay attention to the following:
    • Place a fan, preferably a vehicle-speed proportional type, in front of the vehicle.
    • Make sure the vehicle is in a facility with an exhaust gas ventilation system.
    • Keep the rear bumper cool by placing a cooling fan near the exhaust pipe so that the rear bumper does not get deformed by the heat from the exhaust.
    • Keep the area around the vehicle uncluttered so that heat does not build up.
    • Watch the water temperature gauge and do not overheat the engine.
    • Avoid added load to the engine and maintain normal driving conditions as much as possible.
NOTE:
  • When only the front or rear wheels are rotated on a chassis dynamometer or equivalent, the DSC HU/CM determines that there is a malfunction in the DSC and illuminates the following lights:
    • ABS warning light
    • Brake system warning light
    • TCS/DSC indicator light
  • If the above lights are illuminated, dismount the vehicle from the chassis dynamometer and switch the ignition OFF (LOCK). Then, switch the ignition ON, run the vehicle at 10 km/h {6.2 mph} or more  and verify that the warning lights go out. In this case, a DTC will be stored in the memory. Clear the DTC from the memory by following the memory clearing procedure [DSC] in the on-board diagnostic system. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS [DYNAMIC STABILITY CONTROL (DSC)] .)
