2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Select, AWDFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Using The M-MDS

NOTE:
  • PIDs for the following parts are not available on this model. Go to the appropriate part inspection service information.
  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. Switch the ignition ON.
  3. 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 doutput 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.
  • The simulation items that are used in the ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATION INSPECTION are as follows.
  • ACCS, ARPMDES, EVAPCP, EVAPCV, FAN1, FAN3, FP, INJ_1, INJ_2, INJ_3, INJ_4, OIL_P_SOL, Test, VT EX_DES

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.
