1996 Body Electrical Troubleshooting ManualWARNING Servicing a vehicle can be dangerous. If you have not received service related training, the risks of injury and property damage increase. The recommended servicing procedures for the vehicle in this troubleshooting manual were developed with Mazds-trained technicians in mind. This ‘manual may be useful to non-Mazda trained technicians, but a technician with our service-elated training and experience will be at less risk when performing servicing operations. However, all users of this manual are expected to know general safely procedures. ‘This manual contains "Waings” and “Cautions” applicable to risks not normally encountered in a general technician's experience. They should be followed to reduce the risk of injury and the risk that improper service or repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to Understand that the “Warnings” and "Cautions are not exhaustive, It is impossible to warn of all the hazardous consequences that might result from failure to follow the procedures. The procedures recommended and described in this manual are effective methods of performing troubleshooting and repair. Some require tools specifically designed for a specific purpose. Nonrecommended procedures and tools should include consideration for safety of the technician and continued safe operation of the vehicle. Parts should be replaced with genuine Mazda replacements parts, not parts of lesser quality. Use of a nonrecommended replacement part should include consideration for safety of the technician and continued safe operation ofthe vehicle.VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VIN) 626 1YV GE220°TS 500001 - 4YV GE22D°T5 500001 — MX-6 1YV GE31C°TS 500001 — 1YV GE31D°TS 500001 —1996 Mazda 626/MX-6 Body Electrical Troubleshooting Manual FORWARD For proper repair and maintenance, a thorough familiarization with this manual is important, and it should always be kept in a handy place for quick and easy reference.

Make sure all switches, including the ignition switch, are at OFF before disconnecting or con- necting the battery cables. If a switch is on, semicon ductor components may be damaged. Replacing Fuses + Replace blown fuses with ones having the same desig- nated capacity. Ifa fuse is replaced with one of a larger capacity, components may be damaged or a fire may result. ‘Securing Harnesses * Clamp all harnesses that are near vibrating compo- nents, such as the engine, to remove slack and prevent contact resulting from vibration. If the harness is in con- tact with a vibrating part, the harness insulation may wear or break. + Tape areas of the harness that may rub or bump against sharp edges. Without the tape, the harness 2 insulation may be cut. + When mounting components, make sure the hamess is, not caught. If it is caught, the harness insulation may wear or break. GI-14FUNDAMENTAL TROUBLESHOOTING Gl Handling Components + Do not handle electrical components roughly or drop them. Do not alter the wiring or electrical equipment. Doing so can overload or short a circuit, whch may cause a fire or damage the vehicle or components. + Remove heat-sensitive components, such as relays, when performing maintenance where temperatures can exceed 80°C {176°F}, such as welding. + Make sure connectors are fitted securely when installed. + When disconnecting two connectors, grasp the connec- tors, not the wires.

These gauges receive signals from the distributor, vehicle speedometer sensor, water temperature sender unit, and fuel gauge sender unit. System Operation + Tachometer When the ignition switch is at ON, battery power is applied to the tachometer. When the engine is running, frequency pulses corresponding to engine speed are sent from the distributor to the tachometer. + Speedometer When the ignition switch is at ON, battery power is applied to the speedometer. When the vehicle is in motion, an AC voltage signal is sent from the vehicle speedometer sensor to the speedometer. The frequeney of this AC voltage signal varies with the vehicle speed. + Fuel Gauge When the ignition switch is at ON, battery power is applied to the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge receives a resistance signal from the fuel gauge sender unit. The resistance of the fuel gauge ‘sender unit varies with the level of fuel in the tank. ‘+ Water Temperature Gauge When the ignition switch is at ON, battery power is applied to the water temperature gauge. The water temperature gauge receives a resistance signal from the water temperature sender unit. The resistance of the water temperature sender unit varies with the engine coolant temperature.

Most, but not all, of these warning lights and indicators are grounded directly by their respective switch or control module. System Operation n The cruise set indicator illuminates when the cruise control module applies ground to the cruise set indicator light, alerting the driver that the cruise control is engaged. ig The ABS warning light illuminates when there may be a problem with the antilock brake system. This warning light is controlled by the ABS control module. Brake system warning light The brake system warning light illuminates when the ignition switch is at START, the parking orake is set, or the brake fluid level is low. When the ignition switch is at START, battery positive voltage is apolied to a transistor in the instrument cluster. This transistor is turned on by applying ground to the brake system warning light, forcing the warning light to illuminate. When the parking brake is set, the parking brake switch applies ground directly to the brake system warning light. When the brake fluid level is low, the brake fluid level sensor closes and applies ground directly to the brake system warn- ing light, causing the brake system warning light to illuminate. 9 The generator warning light illuminates to warn the driver that the generator is not producing electrici- ty. If the generator stops producing sufficient power, it grounds the generator warning light bulb via a dicde. Seat belt warning light and alarm The seat belt warning light illuminates after the ignition switch is turned to ON with the driver's seat bet unbuckled. The seat belt warning alarm sounds for 4 to 8 seconds after the ignition switch is tumed to ON with the driver's seat belt unbuckled. The seat belt waming alarm is controlled by the CPU Washer Fluid-level Warning Light (Canada) The washer fluid-level warning light illuminates to warn the driver that the washer fluid level is low. When the washer fluid level drops below a certain level, the float switch closes, applying ground to the washer fluid-level warning light. Oil pressure warning light The oil pressure warning light illuminates to alert the driver of a low oil pressure condition. When the oil pressure drops below a certain level, the oil pressure switch closes, applying ground to the oil pressure warning light Door ajar warning light The door ajar warning light illuminates to alert the driver that one or more of the vehicle doors is open. When a door is opened, its door switch closes, grounding the door ajar warning light. C2-7c2 WARNING SYSTEM Fuel-level warning light The fuel-level warning light illuminates to alert the driver of a low fuel condition. As the fuel level drops, the resistance of the fuel sender decreases. The sender is tied to the fuel-evel warning light and the fuel gauge within the instrument cluster. When the sender resistance drops below a cartain resistance, the fueHlevel waming light applies power to the fuel-level warning light. Ignition key reminder alarm The ignition key reminder alarm sounds to alert the driver that the ignition key is in the ignition key cylinder when one of the doors is opened. When the ignition switch is at LOCK or ACC, battery posi- tive voltage is applied to the CPU via the key in the ignition switch. When one of the doors is opened, ground is applied to the CPU via the door switch. When the CPU receives these signals, it sounds the ignition key reminder alarm. Lights-on reminder alarm The Iights-on reminder alarm sounds to alert the driver that the vehicle lights are on when one of the doors is opened. When the ignition switch is at LOCK or ACC, battery positive voltage is removed from the CPU ignition input. When the light switch is left in the headlight position, battery positive volt- age is applied to the CPU via the light switch. When the CPU receives these signals, it sounds the lights-on reminder alarm.
