2008 RESTRAINTS

On-Board Diagnostic (Restraints) - Mazda CX-9

FOREWORD
OUTLINE

 The OBD (on-board diagnostic) system has the following functions:


 Malfunction detection function: Detects malfunctions in the air bag system and outputs DTCs.

 Data monitor function: Reads out specific input/output signals and the system status.

 Diagnostic DTCs can be read/cleared using the M-MDS.

FLOWCHART
 Use the following flowchart to verify the cause of the trouble.

NOTE:  While performing the inspection of the past malfunction code, the
applicable DTCs may be added to memory by removing or disconnecting
the related parts. Inspect only the DTCs that were indicated before
inspecting.
 When DTCs of the present malfunction are no longer output after present
or past malfunctions or both have been repaired, be sure to perform past
malfunction display cancellation to prevent repair of malfunctions that
have already been repaired.

NOTE:  The PID data screen function is used for monitoring the calculated
value of input/output signals in the module. Therefore, if the
monitored value of the output parts is not within the specification, it
is necessary to inspect the monitored value of input parts
corresponding to the applicable output part control. In addition,
because the system does not display an output part malfunction as
an abnormality in the monitored value, it is necessary to inspect the
output parts individually.

AIR BAG SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS


AIR BAG MODULE INSPECTION

 Inspecting an air bag module using a tester can operate (deploy) the air bag module, which may
cause serious injury. Do not use a tester to inspect an air bag module. Always use the on-board
diagnostic function to diagnose the air bag module for malfunctions.

Fig. 2: Precaution For Air Bag Module Inspection


Courtesy of MAZDA MOTORS CORP.

AIR BAG MODULE HANDLING

 Before removing the air bag module or disconnecting the air bag module connector, always turn
the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1
min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored
power.
 Handling a live (undeployed) air bag module that is pointed toward your body could result in
serious injury if the air bag module were to accidentally operate (deploy). When carrying a live
(undeployed) air bag module, point the deployment surface away from your body to lessen the
chance of injury in case it operates (deploys).

SIDE AIR BAG MODULE HANDLING

 Before removing the side air bag module or disconnecting the side air bag module connector,
always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and
then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete
its stored power.
 When a side air bag module operates (deploys) due to a collision, the interior of the seat back (pad,
frame, trim) may become damaged. If a side air bag does not operate (deploy) normally from a seat
back that has been reused, a serious accident may result. After a side air bag has operated
(deployed), always replace both the side air bag module and the seat back (pad, frame, trim) with
new parts. After servicing, verify that the seat operates normally and that the wiring harness is not
caught.

SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR HANDLING

 The front passenger-side seat and the seat weight sensor may become deformed or otherwise
damaged due to operation (deployment) of the front or side air bag in an accident. This may cause
the passenger sensing function to operate improperly and result in a serious accident. Always
replace the ' front passenger seat and seat weight sensor with new ones after the front or side air
bags have operated (deployed). After servicing, verify that the seat operates normally and that the
wiring harness is not caught. If the collision is not hard enough to cause the front or side air bags to
operate (deploy), inspect the seat weight sensor and replace it if there is any malfunction.

SAS CONTROL MODULE HANDLING

 Removing the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector with the
ignition switch at the ON position can activate the sensor in the SAS control module and operate
(deploy) the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts, which may cause serious injury. Before removing

the SAS control module or disconnecting the SAS control module connector, always turn the
ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min
or more to allow the backup power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
 Connecting the SAS control module connector with the SAS control module not securely fixed to
the vehicle is dangerous. The sensor in the SAS control module could send an electrical signal to the
air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts. This will operate (deploy) the air bags and pre-
tensioner seat belts, which may result in serious injury. Therefore, before connecting the connector,
securely fix the SAS control module to the vehicle.
 Because a sensor is built into the SAS control module, once the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts
have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the SAS control module must be
replaced with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or
deformation. The used SAS control module may have been damaged internally, which may cause
improper operation. If the SAS control module is reused, the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts
may not operate (deploy) normally, which could result in a serious accident. Always replace the
SAS control module with a new one. The SAS control module cannot be bench-checked or self-
checked.

CRASH ZONE SENSOR HANDLING

 Removing the crash zone sensor or disconnecting the crash zone sensor connector with the ignition
switch at the ON position can activate the crash zone sensor and operate (deploy) the air bags and
pre-tensioner seat belts, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the crash zone sensor or
disconnecting the crash zone sensor connector, always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK
position, disconnect the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup
power supply of the SAS control module to deplete its stored power.
 If the crash zone sensor is subjected to shock or the sensor is disassembled, the air bags and pre-
tensioner seat belts may accidentally operate (deploy) and cause injury, or the system may fail to
operate normally and cause a serious accident. Do not subject the crash zone sensor to shock or
disassemble the sensor.
 Because a sensor is built into the crash zone sensor, once the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts
have operated (deployed) due to a collision or other causes, the crash zone sensor must be replaced
with a new one even if the used one does not have any visible external damage or deformation. If
the crash zone sensor is reused, the air bags and pre-tensioner seat belts may not operate (deploy)
normally, which could result in a serious accident. Always replace the crash zone sensor with a new
one. The crash zone sensor cannot be bench-checked or self-checked.

SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR HANDLING

 Removing the side air bag sensor or disconnecting the side air bag sensor connector with the
ignition switch at the ON position can activate the side air bag sensor and operate (deploy) the side
air bag, which may cause serious injury. Before removing the side air bag sensor or disconnecting
the side air bag sensor connector, always turn the ignition switch to the LOCK position, disconnect
the negative battery cable, and then wait for 1 min or more to allow the backup power supply of the
SAS control module to deplete its stored power.

AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT DISPOSAL


PROCEDURES

WARNING:  A live (undeployed) air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt may
accidentally operate (deploy) when it is disposed of and cause
serious injury. Always refer to the "AIR BAG MODULE AND PRE-
TENSIONER SEAT BELT DEPLOYMENT PROCEDURES" and dispose
of air bag modules and pre-tensioner seat belts in a deployed
condition.
 The air bag modules and the pre-tensioner seat belts are very hot
immediately after they are deployed. You can be burned. Do not
touch an air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt for at least 15
min after deployment.
 Pouring water on the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner
seat belt is dangerous. The water will mix with the residual gases to

form a gas that can make breathing difficult. Do not pour water on
the deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt.
 The deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt may contain
deposits of sodium hydroxide, a caustic by product of the gas-
generated combustion. If this substance gets into your eyes or on
your hands, it can cause irritation and itching. When handling the
deployed air bag module and pre-tensioner seat belt, wear gloves
and safety glasses.
 Due to the adoption of 2-step deployment control in both the driver
and passenger-side air bag modules, depending on the impact force,
it is possible that inflator No.2 might not operate (deploy). Before
disposing of the air bag module, always follow the inflator
deployment procedures and verify the complete operation
(deployment) of inflators No.1 and 2.

1. Remove the deployed air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt.


2. Put the air bag module or pre-tensioner seat belt in a plastic bag, seal the bag, and then dispose of it.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE
AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE DISASSEMBLY

Precaution

The following are precautions that must be followed when performing removal/installation.

1. Handle electronic parts with care


 Do not pull the wiring harness forcibly when disconnecting the connector. Unlock the lock first and
pull the connector.
 When connecting the connector, verify to insert it until it is properly locked. (Verify that a click
sound is heard.)
 Do not shock electronic parts. Replace with new parts if they have been dropped or subjected to
shock.
2. Prevent foreign matter from penetrating
 Be sure to remove foreign matter such as dust and sand from the automatic transaxle before
removing parts.
 Protect removed parts from dust with an object such as a vinyl sheet.

 Do not use cotton work gloves or shop rags as frayed strings might get caught in the unit. Thus
work with bare hands or use vinyl gloves.
3. Prevent scratching
 Do not pry with a screwdriver forcibly. Slightly hit the case with a plastic hammer when separating
component cases at seams.
 Do not pull the valve forcibly.

 Be careful not to get the wire harness caught between parts during installation.

4. Prevent incorrect installation and lack of or missing parts


 Be careful not to install parts incorrectly or lose parts since there are similar types of O-rings, snap
rings, bearings and races. Take great care for straightening parts and checking installation direction.
 Be careful not to drop small parts such as check balls or lose them during installation.

5. Wash parts and apply oil


 Wash each part before installing and dry using compressed air, and then apply the specified ATF
type JWS3309.
 Soak disks in ATF type JWS3309 before installing. In particular, soak new disks for 2 h or more
so that the oil seeps into the lining.
 If the thrust bearing or race falls during installation, use a small amount of yellow petrolatum
grease.
 Apply ATF type JWS3309 to contact and rotating surfaces.

2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring
2005-08 TRANSMISSION Automatic Transaxle Overhaul (AW6A-EL) - CX-7, CX-9 & Mazda 6

Do not apply oil or drive the vehicle immediately after installing a part applied with sealant. Leave

it for one hour or more.
 Do not wash aluminum parts or rubber parts with alkaline chemicals.

 Do not wash the rubber parts with white gasoline.

6. Handling ATF with care


 If you spill ATF on the floor, wipe it off immediately, as it is quite slippery and dangerous.

 Be sure to use JWS3309 type ATF.

AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE FLUID (ATF) LEVEL INSPECTION

CAUTION:  The ATF amount varies according to ATF temperature. Therefore,


when checking the ATF level or replacing the ATF, use a
thermometer to measure the temperature and adjust the ATF amount
to the specified level according to the specified temperature.

1. Place the vehicle on level ground.


2. Apply the parking brake and position wheel chocks securely to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
3. Adjust the length or thermometer probe so that the length is the same as the depth gauge, and hold the
probe with a paper holder. Insert into the filler tube and measure the temperature.
 If necessary, inspect the ATF before warming up the engine. In this case, use the ATF temperature
(15-25 °C {59-77 °F}).
4. Warm up the engine until the ATF reaches 60-70 °C {140-158 °F}.
5. Shift the selector lever and pause momentarily in each range (P--D) while depressing the brake pedal.
6. Shift the selector lever to P position.
7. Verify that the ATF level is in the HOT range (65 °C {149 °F}) while the engine is idling.
 If necessary, add ATF to the specification.

value of input/output signals in the module. Therefore, if the


monitored value of the output parts is not within the specification, it
is necessary to inspect the monitored value of input parts
corresponding to the applicable output part control. In addition,
because the system does not display an output part malfunction as
an abnormality in the monitored value, it is necessary to inspect the
output parts individually.

ACTIVE COMMAND MODES PROCEDURE

1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.


2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.
 When using the IDS (laptop PC)

1. Select "DataLogger".
2. Select "Modules".
3. Select "ABS".
 When using the PDS (Pocket PC)

1. Select "Module Tests".


2. Select "ABS".
3. Select "DataLogger".
3. Select the active command modes from the PID table.

4. Perform the active command modes, inspect the operations for each parts.
 If the operation of output parts cannot be verified after the active command mode inspection is
performed, this could indicate the possibility of an open or short circuit, sticking, or operation
malfunction in the output parts.

2. Precautions during servicing of DSC/RSC

The DSC/RSC is composed of electrical and mechanical parts. It is necessary to categorize malfunctions
as being either electrical or hydraulic when performing troubleshooting.

1. Malfunction in electrical system


 The control module has an on-board diagnostic function. With this function, the ABS
warning light and/or BRAKE system warning light and/or DSC indicator light and/or TCS
OFF light will illuminate when there is a problem in the electrical system.

Also, past and present malfunctions are in the control module. This function can find
malfunctions that do not occur during periodic inspections. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-
2, the stored malfunctions will be displayed in the order of occurrence. To find out the causes
of DSC/RSC malfunctions, use these on-board diagnostic results.

 If a malfunction occurred in the past but is now normal, the cause is likely a temporary poor
connection of the wiring harness.

The control module usually operates normally. Be careful when searching for the cause of
malfunction.

2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring
2008 BRAKES Symptom Troubleshooting (DSC/RSC) - Mazda CX-9

 After repair, it is necessary to clear the DTC from the control module memory.

Also, if the DSC/RSC related parts have been replaced, verify that no DTC is displayed after
repairs.

 After repairing the ABS wheel-speed sensor or ABS sensor rotor, or after replacing the
control module, the ABS warning light may not go out even when the ignition switch is
turned to the ON position. In this case, drive the vehicle at a speed of more than 10 km/h
{6.2 mph} , make sure the ABS warning light goes out, and then clear the DTC.
 When repairing, if the DSC/RSC related connectors are disconnected and the ignition switch
is turned to the ON position, the control module will mistakenly detect a fault and record it as
a malfunction.

WARNING:  If the DSC/RSC sensor initialization procedure is not


completed, it could result in an unexpected accident due
to the DSC/RSC being inoperative. Therefore, after the
DSC/RSC HU/CM or combined sensor is replaced, always
perform the DSC/RSC sensor initialization precedure to
ensure proper DSC/RSC operation. (See DSC/RSC
SENSOR INITIALIZATION PROCEDURE .)

To protect the control module, make sure the ignition is off before connecting or
disconnecting the control module connector.
2. Malfunctions in hydraulic system
 Symptoms in a hydraulic system malfunction are similar to those in a conventional brake
malfunction. However, it is necessary to determine if the malfunction is in a DSC/RSC
component or the conventional brake system.
 The hydraulic unit contains delicate mechanical parts. If foreign material gets into the
component, the DSC/RSC may fail to operate. Also, it will likely become extremely difficult
to find the location of the malfunction in the event that the brakes operate but the DSC/RSC
does not. Make sure foreign material does not enter when servicing the DSC/RSC (e.g. brake
fluid replacement, pipe removal).

INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING

Vibration method

 If a malfunction occurs or becomes worse while driving on a rough road or when the engine is vibrating,
perform the following steps.

NOTE:  There are several reasons why vehicle or engine vibration could
cause an electrical malfunction. Inspect the following:
 Connectors not fully seated.

 Wire harnesses not having full play.

2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring
2008 BRAKES Symptom Troubleshooting (DSC/RSC) - Mazda CX-9

 Wires laying across brackets or moving parts.


 Wires routed too close to hot parts.

 An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose harness can


cause wiring to become pinched between parts.
 The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring
harnesses pass through the firewall, body and other panels are the
major areas to be inspected.

Inspection method for switch connectors or wires

1. Connect the M-MDS to DLC-2.


2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (engine off).

NOTE:  If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.

3. Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.


4. Turn the switch on manually.
5. Slightly shake each connector or wiring harness vertically and horizontally while monitoring the PID.
 If the PID value is unstable, inspect for poor connection.

BRAKE PEDAL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION

CAUTION:  The clearance between the brake switch and the brake pedal is
automatically adjusted to the correct amount when the brake switch
is inserted into the installation hole on the brake pedal and rotated to
fix in place. If the brake switch is not properly installed, the clearance
may be incorrect, causing a brake light malfunction. Therefore,
always verify that the brake pedal is properly installed and fully
released before installing the brake switch to the pedal.
 Once the brake switch clearance has automatically been adjusted, it
cannot be adjusted again. Therefore, replace the switch with a new
one when replacing the power brake unit or the pedal, or performing
any procedure that changes the pedal stroke.

FRONT BRAKE (DISC) INSPECTION


BRAKE JUDDER REPAIR HINT

Description

Brake judder concern has the following three characteristics:

Steering wheel vibration

Steering wheel vibrates in the direction of its rotation. This characteristic is most noticeable when applying
brakes at a vehicle speed of 100-140 km/h {62-87 mph}.

Floor vibration

When applying brakes, the vehicle body shakes back and forth. The seriousness of shake is not influenced by
vehicle speed.

Brake pedal vibration

When applying brakes, a pulsating force tries to push the brake pad back. The pulsation is transmitted to the
brake pedal.
Microsoft

2008 Mazda CX-9 Grand Touring
2008 BRAKES Conventional Brake System - Mazda CX-9

The following are the main possible causes of brake judder:

Due to an excessive runout (side-to-side wobble) of disc plate, the thickness of disc plate is uneven.

If the runout is more than 0.05 mm {0.002 in} at the position 10 mm {0.39 in} from the disc plate edge,
uneven wear occurs on the disc plate because of uneven pad/plate contact.

If the runout is less than 0.05 mm {0.002 in}, uneven wear does not occur.

The disc plate is deformed by heat.

Repeated panic braking may raise the temperature in some portions of disc plate by approx. 1,000 °C {1,832 °
F}.

This results in deformed disc plate.

Due to corrosion, the thickness and friction coefficient of disc plate change.

If a vehicle is parked under damp conditions for a long time, corrosion occurs on the friction surface of disc
plate.

The thickness of corrosion is uneven and sometimes appears like a wave pattern, which changes the friction
coefficient and causes a reaction force.

BACK-UP CURRENT

1. Verify that the ignition switch is off (key has been removed) and that all doors are closed.
2. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
3. Connect the tester between the negative battery terminal and negative battery cable, leave the battery
undisturbed for 30 min , and then measure the back-up current.
 If not within the specification, measure the back-up current while removing the fuses one by one
from the inside of the main fuse block and the inside of the fuse block.

NOTE:  If the battery is not left undisturbed for 30 min , the tester will indicate
a high value (approx. 300 mA) .
 If the key or any electrical accessory is operated within approx. 30
min after the tester is connected, the battery must be left undisturbed
for approx. 30 min from that point.

CAUTION:  Operating electrical loads while the back-up current is being


measured can damage the tester.

NOTE:  For vehicles with the immobilizer system, the system periodically
shifts synchronization of the security light flashing. Therefore, 60 mA
(0.1 s) current is supplied when the security light is illuminated, and
50 mA (2 s) current is supplied when the security light is not
illuminated. In addition, the measuring instrument, which shows the
average value, indicates around 55 mA .

Battery back-up current (When the ignition switch is off, the ignition key is removed, and all doors
are closed.)

Vehicles with immobilizer system: 50-60 mA

Vehicles without immobilizer system: 55 mA or less

4. Inspect and repair wiring harnesses and connectors of the fuse where the current has decreased.

FUEL-FILLER CAP INSPECTION [MZI-3.7]


LEAKAGE INSPECTION

1. Perform the following SST (Evaporative Emission System Tester 134-01049) self-test:

NOTE:  If the tester does not work correctly during self-test, refer to the
tester operators manual for more detailed procedures.

1. Verify that the gas cylinder valve is closed and the control valve located on the tester is in the
TEST position. All tester displays should be off at this time.
2. Connect the long hose (part of SST ) to the tester.
3. Connect the manifold assembly (part of SST ) to the long hose as shown.
4. Open the gas cylinder valve and verify the gas cylinder regulator left gauge reads 69-82 kPa {0.71-
0.83 kgf/cm2 , 10-12 psi}

(preset at factory).

 If not, refer to the tester operators manual to contact tester manufacturer.

5. Press the ON/OFF switch to turn on the SST and make sure the left display reads 0.0.
6. Turn the control valve on the tester to the FILL position.
7. Verify the left display reading is within 13.9 to 14.0 in of water.
 If not, adjust the pressure using the regulator knob located on the right side of the tester.

8. Turn the control valve to TEST position and press the START switch.
9. After the 2-min countdown (left display) is completed, the right display shows the total pressure
loss for that period. A 0.5 in of water loss is acceptable on the self-test.
 If the loss is more than 0.5 in of water, do one or more self-test. If the failed test repeats,
check for leak using the ultrasonic leak detector (part of SST).
2. Press the RESET switch to set the left display reading to 0.0.
3. Connect the fuel cap receiver assembly (part of SST ) to the manifold assembly and fuel-filler cap from
the vehicle.
 If the fuel-filler cap is not a genuine part, replace it.

4. Turn the control valve to the FILL position.


5. Wait (maximum 20 s ) until the left display reads 13.9 to 14.0 in of water.

5. After completion of repairs, clear all DTCs stored in the PCM, while referring to "AFTER REPAIR
PROCEDURE".

OBD-II DRIVE MODE [MZI-3.7]


 The following procedure is designed to execute and complete the OBD-II monitors and to clear the DTC
P1000.
 To complete a specific monitor for repair verification, follow Steps 1 through 4, then continue using the
steps indicated by the appropriate monitor.
 The Drive Mode is performed using the M-MDS.

CAUTION:  While performing the Drive Mode, always operate the vehicle in
a safe and lawful manner.
 When the M-MDS is used to observe monitor system status
while driving, be sure to have another technician with you, or
record the data in the M-MDS using the PID/DATA MONITOR
AND RECORD function and inspect later.

NOTE:  If the OBD-II system inspection is not completed during the Drive
Mode, the following causes are considered:
 The OBD-II system detects a malfunction.

 The Drive Mode procedure is not completed correctly.

 Disconnecting the battery will reset the memory. Do not disconnect


the battery during and after Drive Mode.
 The M-MDS can be used at anytime through the course of the Drive
Mode to monitor the completion status. Monitoring can be done by
viewing the ON BOARD SYSTEM READINESS menu.
 Most OBD-II monitors will complete more readily using a "steady
foot" driving style during cruise or acceleration. Operating the
throttle in a "smooth" fashion will minimize the time required for
monitor completion.
 The fuel tank level should be between 1/2 and 3/4 full with 3/4 full
being the most desirable.
 The evaporative emission system monitor can only operate during
the first 30 min of the engine operation. When executing the
procedure for the evaporative emission system monitor, remain in
part throttle position and drive in a smooth fashion to minimize "fuel
slosh".
 When bypassing the EVAP soak times, the PCM must remain
powered (ignition switch to the ON position) after clearing the

DTC P0116 [MZI-3.7]


DTC P0116 (MZI-3.7) DETECTION CONDITIONS AND POSSIBLE CAUSES
DTC P0116 CHT sensor circuit range/performance
 Indicates the engine coolant temperature logic test has failed. This DTC indicates
that the CHT value is higher than the calibrated value and could prevent 1 or
more OBD monitors from completing. The PCM runs this logic after an engine
off and a calibrated soak period (typically 6 hours). This soak period allows the
IAT and the CHT to stabilize and not differ by more than a calibrated value.

DETECTION DTC P0116 is set when all of the following conditions are met:
CONDITION
 The CHT at engine start exceeds the IAT at engine start by more than a
calibrated value, typically 17°C {30°F}.
 The CHT exceeds a calibrated value, typically 107°C {225°F}.
 The fuel system, heated oxygen and misfire monitors have not completed.
 The calibrated time to set DTC P0116 has expired.

 The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor input signal interval time. The
PCM calculates the change of the interval time for each cylinder. If the change of
interval time exceeds the pre-programmed criteria, the PCM detects a misfire in
DETECTION the corresponding cylinder. When the engine is running, the PCM counts the
CONDITION number of misfires that occurred at 200 crankshaft revolutions and 1,000
crankshaft revolutions and calculates the misfire ratio for each crankshaft
revolution. If the ratio exceeds the pre-programmed criteria, the PCM determines
that a misfire, which can damage the catalytic converter or affect emission
performance, has occurred.

NOTE:
POSSIBLE  Internal deterioration of a catalytic converter is usually caused by
CAUSE abnormal engine operation front of the catalyst. Events that can
produce higher than normal temperatures in the catalyst are particularly
suspect, such as misfiring. Incorrect HO2S signal input (e.g., rich/lean

INTERMITTENT CONCERN TROUBLESHOOTING [MZI-3.7]


VIBRATION METHOD

 If malfunction occurs or becomes worse while driving on a rough road or when the engine is vibrating,
perform the steps below.

NOTE:  There are several reasons vehicle or engine vibration could cause an
electrical malfunction. Inspect the following:
 Connectors not fully seated

 Wiring harnesses not having full play

 Wiring harnesses laying across brackets or moving parts

 Wiring harnesses routed too close to hot parts

 An improperly routed, improperly clamped, or loose wiring harness


can cause wiring to become pinched between parts.
 The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wiring
harnesses pass such as through the firewall and body panels are the
major areas to be checked.

Inspection Method for Switch Connectors or Wiring Harnesses

1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.


2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (Engine off).

NOTE:  If the engine starts and runs, perform the following steps during idle.

3. Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.


4. Turn the switch on manually.
5. Slightly shake each connector or wiring harness vertically and horizontally while monitoring the PID.
 If PID value is unstable, inspect for poor connection.

CAUTION:  Compare the M-MDS monitor voltage with the measurement voltage
using the digital measurement system function. If you use another
tester, misreading may occur.
 When measuring voltage, attach the tester GND to the GND of the
PCM that is being tested, or to the engine itself. If this is not
performed, the measured voltage and actual voltage may differ.
 After connecting the pin to a waterproof coupler, confirming
continuity and measuring the voltage, inspect the waterproof
connector for cracks. If there are any, use sealant to fix them. Failure
to do this may result in deterioration of the wiring harness or terminal
from water damage, leading to problems with the vehicle.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION (EVAP) SYSTEM LEAK INSPECTION

 To verify that the problem has been fixed properly after repairs, the run drive cycle or EVAP system leak
inspection must be performed.

EVAP system leak inspection using the M-MDS

NOTE:  Use the IDS (laptop PC) because the PDS (Pocket PC) does not support
the EVAP system test.

EVAP system test out line

 The EVAP system test, which can substituted for the run drive cycle as an EVAP control system repair
confirmation method, can detect the small / large leak or blockage without run-drive cycle.

NOTE:  M-MDS can not detect "VERY SMALL LEAK". To identify the leak
point, please use the leak tester or ultrasonic leak detector.

EVAP system test description

 The EVAP system test finds gas leaks or blockage of EVAP system using the changes of the fuel tank
pressure.
 This test starts after sending an on-demand test signal from the M-MDS to the PCM.

 This test consists of three stages, and each stage is performed automatically as follows:

NOTE:  The canister vent value is closed for 10 min unless the following any
actions are done:
 The engine is started.

 The ignition switch is turned off position.

6. Make sure the control valve on the 134-01049 is in the HOLD position and that the valve on the cylinder
of nitrogen gas is open.
7. Turn the control valve to the open position and let the system fill. You should note a drop in the gauge
pressure along with the flow meter being pegged at maximum flow for several minutes depending on how
full or empty the fuel tank is, and how long it takes to completely fill and pressurize the evaporative
emissions system hoses.
8. If the gauge and the flow meter do not settle to a measurable level after 2-3 min, then refer to the Mazda
Workshop Manual to verify that the canister vent valve is properly closed. If canister vent valve is
properly closed. The EVAP system has large leakage. Check for leakage and repair as necessary.
9. Verify the pressure gauge and flow meter reading to determine if there is an evaporative emissions leak:

NO EVAPORATIVE LEAK:

 The flow meter registers "zero flow" and the pressure gauge returns to the pre-set pressure of 356
mm {14 in} of water (H2O).

EVAPORATIVE LEAK:

 The pressure does not return to the preset level of 356 mm {14 in} of water (H2O) when measuring
the flow. See "SETTING LEAK STANDARD FOR TESTING" (.020 to .040 inch H2O) of the
Evaporative Emissions Tester operators manual (134-01067).

NOTE:  Turn the control valve to the HOLD position then disconnect the SST.

 Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious


injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel.
 Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause
serious injures or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and
eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety
Procedure". (See BEFORE SERVICE PRECAUTION [MZI-3.7] .)

1. Verify that the battery is fully charged.


 Recharge it if necessary. (See BATTERY INSPECTION [MZI-3.7] .)

2. Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature.

 If the compression in one or more cylinders is low or the compression difference between
cylinders exceeds the maximum, pour a small amount of clean engine oil into the cylinder
and recheck the compression.
 If the compression increases, the piston, the piston rings, or cylinder wall may be worn
and overhaul is required.
 If the compression stays low, a valve may be stuck or improperly seated and overhaul
is required.
 If two adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures, and squirting oil on the
piston does not increase compression, the head gasket may be leaking between
cylinders. Engine oil and/or coolant in the cylinders could result from this condition.

Refrigerant System - Mazda CX-9

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE WARNINGS


HANDLING REFRIGERANT

 Avoid breathing air conditioning refrigerant or lubricant vapor. Exposure may irritate eyes, nose
and throat. Also, due to environmental concerns, the use of recovery/recycling/recharging
equipment is mandatory when draining R-134a from the air conditioning system. If accidental
system discharge occurs, ventilate work area before resuming service.
 Do not perform pressure test or leak test for R-134a service equipment and/or vehicle air
conditioning system using compressed air. Some mixtures of air and R-134a have been shown to be
combustible at elevated pressures. These mixtures, if ignited, may cause injury or property
damage. Additional health and safety information may be obtained from refrigerant
manufacturers.
 Do not allow the refrigerant to leak near fire or any kind of heat. A poisonous gas may be generated
if the refrigerant gas contacts fire or heat such as from cigarettes and heaters. When carrying out
any operation that can cause refrigerant leakage, extinguish or remove the above-mentioned heat
sources and maintain adequate ventilation.
 Handling liquid refrigerant is dangerous. A drop of it on the skin can result in localized frostbite.
When handling the refrigerant, wear gloves and safety goggles. If refrigerant splashes into the eyes,
immediately wash them with clean water and consult a doctor.

STORING REFRIGERANT

 The refrigerant container is highly pressurized. If it is subjected to high heat, it could explode,
scattering metal fragments and liquid refrigerant that can seriously injure you. Store the
refrigerant at temperatures below 40 °C {104 °F}.

REFRIGERANT SYSTEM SERVICE CAUTIONS


HANDLING INSUFFICIENT REFRIGERANT LEVEL

 If an insufficient refrigerant level is detected at troubleshooting, do not charge (add) the


refrigerant. Because an accurate amount of refrigerant cannot be determined from the pressure
indicated on the manifold gauge, never charge the refrigerant. If there is too much or too little
refrigerant from the refilling, there may be secondary problems such as damage to the refrigerant
cycle parts, or a decrease of cooling performance. Therefore, if it is determined that the refrigerant
level is insufficient, completely remove refrigerant from the refrigerant cycle and refill with
refrigerant to the specified amount.

HANDLING A/C RELATED PARTS

 There will be no effect on either performance or quality of A/C-related parts, including but not

2008 HVAC Refrigerant System - Mazda CX-9

limited to the piping, etc., provided that said parts are serviced/repaired in accordance with
standard procedure.
 When serviced/repaired A/C units in locations where there is a considerable risk of contamination
from dirt or dust, plug up the openings on the parts to prevent dust/dirt from entering.
 When using adhesive material to cover openings on A/C parts, make sure that the adhesive side of
the material does not come in contact with the connectors on the parts.
 When the system is opened to atmosphere, there is no need to replace the condenser, or the receiver
dryer when it is housed within the condenser, provided that the unit is plugged accordingly.

HANDLING COMPRESSOR OIL

 Use only DENSO OIL8 compressor oil for this vehicle. Using a PAG oil other than DENSO OIL8
compressor oil can damage the A/C compressor.
 Do not spill DENSO OIL8 compressor oil on the vehicle. A drop of compressor oil on the vehicle
surface can eat away at the paint. If oil gets on the vehicle, wipe it off immediately.
 DENSO OIL8 compressor oil (PAG oil) has a higher moisture absorption efficiency than the
previously used mineral oil. If moisture mixes with the compressor oil, the refrigerant system could
be damaged. Therefore, install caps immediately after using the compressor oil or removing
refrigerant system parts to prevent moisture absorption.

EVACUATION

1. Open all the valves of the manifold gauge.

CAUTION:  Close the manifold gauge valve immediately after stopping the
vacuum pump. If the valve is left open, the vacuum pump oil will
flow back into the refrigeration cycle and cause a decrease in
the efficiency of the air conditioner.

2. Start the vacuum pump and let it operate for 15 min.

3. Verify that high-and low-pressure side readings of the manifold gauge are at - 101 kPa {-760 mmHg, -
29.9 inHg}. Close each valve of the manifold gauge.

AIRTIGHTNESS CHECK

1. Stop the vacuum pump and wait for 5 min.


2. Check the high-and low-pressure side readings of the manifold gauge.
 If the reading has changed, inspect for leakage and go to Evacuation. (See EVACUATION.)

 If the reading has not changed, go to Charging New R-134a Refrigerant. (See CHARGING NEW
R-134A REFRIGERANT.)

CHARGING NEW R-134A REFRIGERANT

1. Open the valve of the refrigerant tank.


2. Weigh the refrigerant tank to charge the suitable amount of refrigerant.

WARNING:  If the refrigerant system is charged with a large amount of


refrigerant when inspecting for gas leakage, and if any leakage
should occur, the refrigerant will be released into the
atmosphere. In order to prevent the accidental release of
refrigerant which can destroy the ozone layer in the
stratosphere, follow the proper procedures and charge with
only a small amount of refrigerant when inspecting for gas
leakage.
 If charging the system with refrigerant using service cans,
running the engine with the high-pressure side valve open is
dangerous. Pressure within the service cans will increase and
the cans could explode, scattering metal fragments and liquid
refrigerant that can seriously injure you. Therefore, do not open
the high-pressure side valve while the engine is running.

CAUTION:  Always being charging of refrigerant from the high-pressure


side. If changing is begun from the low-pressure side, the vanes
of the A/C compressor will not be released and abnormal noise

4. When the low-pressure side reading increases to 0.098 MPa {1.0 kgf/cm2 , 14 psi}, close the high-
pressure side valve of the manifold gauge.
5. Inspect for leakage from the cooler pipe/hose connections using a gas leak tester.
 If there is no leakage, go to Step 7.

 If leakage is found at a loose joint, tighten the joint, then go to the next step.

6. Inspect for leakage again.


 If there is no leakage after tightening the joint, go to the next step.

 If there is still a leakage at the same joint, discharge the refrigerant and then repair the joint. Repeat
the charging procedure from evacuation.

the moisture from the air and becomes saturated. If the A/C system is used in this condition, the
inside of the A/C compressor will begin to rust due to this moisture, which may cause lock up or
noise to occur. Therefore, replacement of the receiver/drier is necessary.

BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM) RADAR TEST


INTRODUCTION

 The BSM radar test examines the reflectivity from the SST (reflector) by forcibly emitting radar to the
SST.
 One BSM control module is installed on the left and right sides. Perform the radar test for each of them.
 Perform the radar test on level ground. The correct test results cannot be obtained if the vehicle and
reflector are set at different heights or different angles.
 A radar test cannot be performed correctly if obstructions which interfere with radar emitting adhere to
the BSM control module or the rear bumper. Perform the following procedure before performing the
radar test.
 Verify that there is no water or dirt adhering to the radar emitting surface of the BSM control
module and the rear bumper.
 Verify that there is no problem with the radar emitting surface of the BSM control module and the
rear bumper such as dirt, application of metallic stickers, or repairs using putty application.
 Perform the DTC inspection for the BSM using the M-MDS and verify that no DTCs are displayed.
 If any DTCs are displayed, perform troubleshooting according to the corresponding DTC
inspection. (See DTC TABLE [BLIND SPOT MONITORING (BSM)] .)

DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT BULB SERVICE WARNINGS

 To prevent electrical shock when replacing the discharge headlight bulb, dry hands thoroughly,
and perform the work in an area out of rain.
 When the light switch is on, approx. 25,000 V of high voltage passes through the discharge
headlight bulb socket. Because of the danger of electrical shock, do not insert fingers or a tester.
 When the headlights are on, high voltage flows around the socket and bulb. When turning on the
discharge headlights while working, always leave the headlights in the vehicle-installed condition to
prevent electrical shock.

DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL MODULE REUSE

 If the discharge headlight control module is dented or damaged in any way, replace the module
with a new one to prevent electrical shock and improper operation.
 Although the control module may temporarily operate normally even though it has received an
impact, it is possible that the interior may have been damaged. When reusing the control module,
inspect the following items regarding discharge headlight illumination to verify that there are no
malfunctions.
 Verify that the discharge headlights illuminate normally by testing them several times under
cold illumination (headlights off for approx. 10 min or more and then turned on) and hot
illumination (headlights on for approx. 15 min or more, turned off for approx. 1 min, and
then turned on again) conditions.
 Inspect the headlight illumination in the period from directly after cold illumination until
they are uniformly illuminated (approx. 5 min) and verify that there is no flickering or
inconsistent brightness.
 Turn on the headlights for approx. 30 min with normal condition bulbs and verify that there
is no brightness difference between the right and left, and that illumination is consistent.

NOTE:  The PID data screen function is used for monitoring the calculated
value of input/output signals in the module. Therefore, if the
monitored value of the output parts is not within the specification, it
is necessary to inspect the monitored value of input parts
corresponding to the applicable output part control. In addition,
because the system does not display an output part malfunction as
an abnormality in the monitored value, it is necessary to inspect the

The glass stops after it has moved approx. 30 mm {1.2 in} towards the closed position.

NOTE:  Only the tilt up switch is available during the initialization mode.
 The initialization may finish at the first inching operation depending
on the glass position when the motor is installed.
 If the glass position is between the closed and semi-tilt positions
when the motor is removed, the glass moves in the tilt up direction
(to the full tilt position stored in the motor). However, if the tilt up
switch is pressed and held, the initialization mode starts.

2. When the tilt up switch is pressed again, the glass continues to move approx. 30 mm {1.2 in} and stops.
3. Repeat this procedure several times so that the glass moves to the fully closed, full tilt (normal operation
position), and full tilt (mechanical stopper position) positions.
4. After the glass is moved to the full tilt position (mechanical stopper position), it returns to the tilt down
direction slightly and the initialization is completed.

REAR DRIP ASSEMBLY NOTE

NOTE:  If the rear drip is removed, butyl seal must be applied when re-installing.

TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS) ON-BOARD DIAGNOSIS


ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) TEST DESCRIPTION

 The OBD test inspects the integrity and function of the TPMS and outputs the results when requested by
the specific tests.
 On-board diagnostic test also:
 Provides a quick inspection of the TPMS usually performed at the start of each diagnostic
procedure.
 Provides verification after repairs to ensure that no other faults occurred during service.

 The OBD test is divided into 3 tests:


 Read/clear diagnostic results, PID monitor and active command mode.

Read/clear diagnostic results

 This function allows you to read or clear DTCs in the instrument cluster memory.

PID/Data monitor and record

 This function allows you to access certain data values, input signals, calculated values, and system status
information.

Active command modes

 This function allows you to control devices through the M-MDS.

NOTE:  The PID data screen function is used for monitoring the calculated
value of input/output signals in the module. Therefore, if the
monitored value of the output parts is not within the specification, it
is necessary to inspect the monitored value of input parts
corresponding to the applicable output part control. In addition,
because the system does not display an output part malfunction as
an abnormality in the monitored value, it is necessary to inspect the
output parts individually.

TRANSFER SERVICE CAUTIONS


 Do not perform overhauling and other servicing such as transfer oil inspection, adjustment, and
replacement. Adjusting the oil amount leads to over-fill or under-fill, which could cause oil leakage or
seizure of the transfer while driving. In addition, internal parts for overhauling are not available.
 A maintenance-free type transfer has been adopted. If there is a malfunction with the transfer unit, replace
the transfer as a single component.

TRANSFER OIL SEAL REPLACEMENT

WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENT (ALUMINUM ALLOY WHEEL)

CAUTION:  Adjust the outer wheel balance first, then the inner wheel balance.
 Be careful not to scratch the wheels.

ADHESIVE-TYPE BALANCE WEIGHT (OUTER)

1. Remove the old balance weight from the wheel.


2. Remove the double-sided adhesive tape remaining on the wheel, then clean and degrease the bonding
area.
3. Set the wheel on a wheel balancer, measure the amount of unbalance and the position with the mode set
for knock-type balance weight.
4. Multiply the amount of unbalance by 1.6 to get the balance weight value.
5. Select a balance weight closest to the weight value and attach the balance weight on the position (outer)
indicated by the wheel balancer.

Example calculation of balance weight value Indicated amount of unbalance: 23 g {0.81 oz}

23 g {0.81 oz}x1.6 = 36.8 g {1.30 oz}

Selected balance weight value: 35 g {1.24 oz}

NOTE:  When selecting a balance weight, select one closest to the calculated
value.

Example: 32.4 g {1.14 oz}= 30 g {1.06 oz}, 32.5 g {1.15 oz}= 35 g {1.24
oz}

CAUTION:  Use a genuine balance weight or equivalent (steel).


 When attaching the weight balance, press the balance weight
with a force of 25 N {2.5 kgf, 5.5 lbf} per 5 g {0.17 oz} for 2
seconds or more.

6. If attaching 2 balance weights, position them so that each is on either side of the position indicated by the
wheel balancer.

CAUTION:  Do not attach weight balances in a row.


 Do not overlap the balance weights.
 Total weight must not exceed 160g {5.65 oz}.

TIRE PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT (WITH TPMS)


1. Use of a digital gauge is recommended for accurate measurement of the air pressure.
2. Tire pressure lowers gradually as time passes. Due to this, monthly air pressure inspection is
recommended.
3. Perform tire pressure adjustment before driving. (When tires are cold.)
 Tire pressure will increase after driving because the internal temperature of the tire is high. If tire
pressure is adjusted to specifications when the internal temperature of the tire is high, tire pressure
will decrease when the internal temperature of the tire decreases to the same level as ambient
temperature. If the tire pressure is lower than the lower-limit pressure, the TPMS warning light may
illuminate.
 Even though the air pressure is adjusted to specifications, the indicated air pressure may be higher
than the specified value when the internal temperature of the tire is higher than ambient

temperature. (Example: Air pressure changes approx. 10 kPa {0.1 kgf/cm2 , 1.5 psi} when the
temperature changes 10 °C {18 °F})

CAUTION:  In an area or a season with varying temperatures, tire


pressure will change due to ambient temperature change.
If the tire pressure is lower than the lower-limit pressure
due to low ambient temperature, the TPMS warning light
may illuminate. Adjust the pressure when the TPMS
warning light illuminates.
 Do not tilt or use excessive side force when checking air
pressure or inflating the tire with air. Which can provide
enough leverage to easily bend or break the wheel unit.
 To prevent damage to the valve area of the wheel unit or
pressure loss during air pressure adjustment, use a type B
tool with a round end as shown in the figure, not a type A
tool.

registration.

NOTE:  If the ID registration is not completed even after driving the vehicle
for 10 min or more at a speed of 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more , the
TPMS warning light flashes.

5. Verify that the TPMS warning light turns off.

NOTE:  If the wheel unit ID registration cannot be performed after driving 10


min or more, refer to the symptom troubleshooting procedure.

WITHOUT USING M-MDS

1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then turn it off.


2. Leave the vehicle with the engine off for 15 min or more .
3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more for 10 min or more .
