Conversion to SI Units (Système International d'Unités)

• All numerical values in this manual are based on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted
from these values.

Rounding Off

cardiagn.com
• Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as the SI unit value. For example, if the SI unit
value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded off to 37.8.

Upper and Lower Limits

• When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is
an upper limit, and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI
unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm2 in the following specifications:

210—260 kPa {2.1—2.7 kgf/cm2, 30—38 psi}

270—310 kPa {2.7—3.2 kgf/cm2, 39—45 psi}

• The actual converted values for 2.7 kgf/cm2 are 265 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as
an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is used
as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.

Malfunction Diagnosis System

• Use the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) for malfunction diagnosis.

Disconnection of the Negative Battery Cable

• When working with the negative battery cable disconnected, wait for 1 min or more to allow the back up power
supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power after the cable is disconnected.
• Disconnecting the battery cable will delete the memories of the clock, audio, and DTCs, etc. Therefore, it is
necessary to note down the information stored in those memories before disconnecting the cable.
• If the battery had been disconnected during vehicle maintenance or for other reasons, the window will not fully
close automatically. Initialize the power window system for the power window main switch). (See POWER
WINDOW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

Warning
• When the negative battery cable is disconnected, the initialization setting of the steering angle
sensor is cleared. Therefore, perform the initialization procedure after connecting the negative
battery cable. (See STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

Oil Leakage Inspection

• Use either of the following procedures to identify the type of oil that is leaking:
Using UV light (black light)
1. Remove any oil on the engine or transaxle/transmission.

Note
• Referring to the fluorescent dye instruction manual, mix the specified amount of dye into the engine oil or
ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil).

2. Pour the fluorescent dye into the engine oil or ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil).
3. Allow the engine to run for 30 min.
4. Inspect for dye leakage by irradiating with UV light (black light), and identify the type of oil that is leaking.
5. If no dye leakage is found, allow the engine to run for another 30 min. or drive the vehicle then reinspect.
6. Find where the oil is leaking from, then make necessary repairs.

Note
• To determine whether it is necessary to replace the oil after adding the fluorescent dye, refer to the
fluorescent dye instruction manual.

Not using UV light (black light)

1. Gather some of the leaking oil using an absorbent white tissue.
2. Take samples of engine oil and ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil), both from the dipstick, and place them next

cardiagn.com
to the leaked oil already on the tissue.
3. Compare the appearance and smell, and identify
the type of oil that is leaking.
4. Remove any oil on the engine or transaxle/
transmission. ATF OR
5. Allow the engine to run for 30 min. TRANSAXLE/
TRANSMISSION OIL ENGINE OIL
6. Check the area where the oil is leaking, then make
necessary repairs.

Removal of Parts
• While correcting a problem, also try to determine its
cause. Begin work only after first learning which
parts and sub-components must be removed and
disassembled for replacement or repair. After
removing the part, plug all holes and ports to prevent
foreign material from entering.

acxuuw00000009

Disassembly
• If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring
many parts to be disassembled, all parts should be
marked in a place that will not affect their
performance or external appearance, and identified
so that reassembly can be performed easily and
efficiently.

acxuuw00000010
Inspection During Removal, Disassembly
• When removed, each part should be carefully
inspected for malfunction, deformation, damage
and other problems.

acxuuw00000011

Arrangement of Parts
• All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged
for reassembly.
• Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts
to be replaced from those that will be reused.

cardiagn.com
acxuuw00000012

Cleaning of Parts
• All parts to be reused should be carefully and
thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method.

Warning
• Using compressed air can cause dirt and
other particles to fly out causing injury to
the eyes. Wear protective eye wear
whenever using compressed air.

acxuuw00000013

Reassembly
• Standard values, such as torques and certain
adjustments, must be strictly observed in the
reassembly of all parts.
• If removed, these parts should be replaced with new
ones:
― Oil seals
― Gaskets
― O-rings
― Lock washers
― Cotter pins
― Nylon nuts
acxuuw00000014
 • Depending on location:
― Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be applied
to specified locations. When sealant is applied,
parts should be installed before sealant hardens
to prevent leakage.
― Oil should be applied to the moving components
of parts.
― Specified oil or grease should be applied at the
prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before
reassembly.

acxuuw00000326

Adjustment
• Use suitable gauges and testers when making
adjustments.

cardiagn.com
acxuuw00000016

Rubber Parts and Tubing

• Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts
or tubing.

acxuuw00000017

Hose Clamps
• When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the
original location on the hose and squeeze the clamp
lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.

― Make sure the vehicle is in a facility with an exhaust gas ventilation system.
― Since the rear bumper might deform from the heat, cool the rear with a fan. (Surface of the bumper must be
below70°C {158°F} degrees.)
― 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 ABS CM
determines that there is a malfunction in the ABS and illuminates the following lights:
― ABS warning light
― Brake system warning light
• If the above lights are illuminated, dismount the vehicle from the chassis dynamometer and turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position. Then, turn the ignition switch back to the ON position, run the vehicle at 10
km/h 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 [ABS] in the on-board
diagnostic system. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS[ABS].)

SST
• Some global SST or equivalent are used as SSTs necessary for vehicle repair. Note that these SSTs are marked
with global SST numbers.
• Note that a global SST number is written together with a corresponding Mazda SST number as shown below.

Conversion to SI Units (Système International d'Unités)

• All numerical values in this manual are based on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted
from these values.

Rounding Off

cardiagn.com
• Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as the SI unit value. For example, if the SI unit
value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded off to 37.8.

Upper and Lower Limits

• When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is
an upper limit, and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI
unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm2 in the following specifications:

210—260 kPa {2.1—2.7 kgf/cm2, 30—38 psi}

270—310 kPa {2.7—3.2 kgf/cm2, 39—45 psi}

• The actual converted values for 2.7 kgf/cm2 are 265 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as
an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is used
as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.

Malfunction Diagnosis System

• Use the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) for malfunction diagnosis.

Disconnection of the Negative Battery Cable

• When working with the negative battery cable disconnected, wait for 1 min or more to allow the back up power
supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power after the cable is disconnected.
• Disconnecting the battery cable will delete the memories of the clock, audio, and DTCs, etc. Therefore, it is
necessary to note down the information stored in those memories before disconnecting the cable.
• If the battery had been disconnected during vehicle maintenance or for other reasons, the window will not fully
close automatically. Initialize the power window system for the power window main switch). (See POWER
WINDOW INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

Warning
• When the negative battery cable is disconnected, the initialization setting of the steering angle
sensor is cleared. Therefore, perform the initialization procedure after connecting the negative
battery cable. (See STEERING ANGLE SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE.)

Oil Leakage Inspection

• Use either of the following procedures to identify the type of oil that is leaking:
Using UV light (black light)
1. Remove any oil on the engine or transaxle/transmission.

Note
• Referring to the fluorescent dye instruction manual, mix the specified amount of dye into the engine oil or
ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil).

2. Pour the fluorescent dye into the engine oil or ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil).
3. Allow the engine to run for 30 min.
4. Inspect for dye leakage by irradiating with UV light (black light), and identify the type of oil that is leaking.
5. If no dye leakage is found, allow the engine to run for another 30 min. or drive the vehicle then reinspect.
6. Find where the oil is leaking from, then make necessary repairs.

Note
• To determine whether it is necessary to replace the oil after adding the fluorescent dye, refer to the
fluorescent dye instruction manual.

Not using UV light (black light)

1. Gather some of the leaking oil using an absorbent white tissue.
2. Take samples of engine oil and ATF (or transaxle/transmission oil), both from the dipstick, and place them next

cardiagn.com
to the leaked oil already on the tissue.
3. Compare the appearance and smell, and identify
the type of oil that is leaking.

Removal of Parts
• While correcting a problem, also try to determine its
cause. Begin work only after first learning which
parts and sub-components must be removed and
disassembled for replacement or repair. After
removing the part, plug all holes and ports to prevent
foreign material from entering.

acxuuw00000009

Disassembly
• If the disassembly procedure is complex, requiring
many parts to be disassembled, all parts should be
marked in a place that will not affect their
performance or external appearance, and identified
so that reassembly can be performed easily and
efficiently.

acxuuw00000010
Inspection During Removal, Disassembly
• When removed, each part should be carefully
inspected for malfunction, deformation, damage
and other problems.

acxuuw00000011

Arrangement of Parts
• All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged
for reassembly.
• Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts
to be replaced from those that will be reused.

cardiagn.com
acxuuw00000012

Cleaning of Parts
• All parts to be reused should be carefully and
thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method.

Warning
• Using compressed air can cause dirt and
other particles to fly out causing injury to
the eyes. Wear protective eye wear
whenever using compressed air.

acxuuw00000013

Reassembly
• Standard values, such as torques and certain
adjustments, must be strictly observed in the
reassembly of all parts.
• If removed, these parts should be replaced with new
ones:
― Oil seals
― Gaskets
― O-rings
― Lock washers
― Cotter pins
― Nylon nuts
acxuuw00000014
 • Depending on location:
― Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be applied
to specified locations. When sealant is applied,
parts should be installed before sealant hardens
to prevent leakage.
― Oil should be applied to the moving components
of parts.
― Specified oil or grease should be applied at the
prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before
reassembly.

acxuuw00000326

Adjustment
• Use suitable gauges and testers when making
adjustments.

cardiagn.com
acxuuw00000016

Rubber Parts and Tubing

• Prevent gasoline or oil from getting on rubber parts
or tubing.

acxuuw00000017

Hose Clamps
• When reinstalling, position the hose clamp in the
original location on the hose and squeeze the clamp
lightly with large pliers to ensure a good fit.

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.
― Since the rear bumper might deform from the heat, cool the rear with a fan. (Surface of the bumper must be
below70°C {158°F} degrees.)
― 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 ABS CM
determines that there is a malfunction in the ABS and illuminates the following lights:
― ABS warning light
― Brake system warning light
• If the above lights are illuminated, dismount the vehicle from the chassis dynamometer and turn the ignition
switch to the LOCK position. Then, turn the ignition switch back to the ON position, run the vehicle at 10
km/h 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 [ABS] in the on-board
diagnostic system. (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS[ABS].)

SST
• Some global SST or equivalent are used as SSTs necessary for vehicle repair. Note that these SSTs are marked
with global SST numbers.
• Note that a global SST number is written together with a corresponding Mazda SST number as shown below.

INSTALLATION OF RADIO SYSTEM
id000000800300

• If a radio system is installed improperly or if a high-powered type system is used, the CIS and other systems
may be affected. When the vehicle is to be equipped with a radio, observe the following precautions:
― Install the antenna at the farthest point from control modules.
― Install the antenna feeder as far as possible from the control module wiring harnesses.
― Ensure that the antenna and feeder are properly adjusted.
― Do not install a high-powered radio system.
