Start Stop Unit Inspection: Notes

2023 Mazda CX-5 SSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
  • Because the start stop unit terminals 3A-3L and 4A-4L are inside the start stop unit and not exposed, the terminal voltage cannot be measured.
  • Terminals with terminal voltage that cannot be measured are not indicated in the terminal voltage table (reference).
  1. Remove the following parts:
    1. Column cover (See COLUMN COVER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  2. Verify that the voltages of each of the terminals are as indicated in the terminal voltage table (reference).
    • If the voltage is not as specified in the terminal voltage table (reference), inspect the parts under Inspection item(s) and related wiring harnesses.
      • If the system does not work normally even though the inspection items or related wiring harnesses do not have any malfunction, replace the start stop unit.
