The OBD test inspects the integrity and function of the TPMS and outputs the results
when requested by the specific tests.
This function allows you to read or clear DTCs in the instrument cluster memory.

3. Select the applicable PID from the PID table. (See PID/Data Monitor Table.)
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.

PRECAUTION
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 why vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical
malfunction. Some of the things to check for are:
The connector joints, points of vibration, and places where wire harnesses pass through
the firewall, body panels and other panels are the major areas to be checked.
NOTE:
5. Shake each connector or wire harness a bit vertically and horizontally while monitoring the
PID.
If the PID value is unstable, check for poor connection.
NOTE:
If the PID value is unstable or malfunction occurs, check for poor connection
and/or poorly mounted sensor.
2. Insert male terminal; fit the female terminal side to female terminal and check to see
whether the malfunction is in the female terminal or not.

CAUTION:
Adjust the outer wheel balance first, then the inner wheel balance.
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 obtain 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.
NOTE:
When selecting a balance weight, select one closest to the calculated value.
CAUTION:
Use a genuine balance weight or equivalent (steel).
When attaching the weight, press the weight with a force of 25 N {2.5 kgf,
5.6 lbf} per 5 g {0.2 oz} for 2 s or more.
6. If attaching two balance weights, position them so that each is on either side of the
position indicated by the wheel balancer.
CAUTION:
2. Attach a weight corresponding to the measured weight value on the position (inner)
indicated by the wheel balancer.
CAUTION:
One balance weight must not exceed 60g {2.1 oz}, and a total of tow
balance weights must not exceed 100g {3.52 oz}.
1. After installing the outer and inner balance weights, operate the wheel balancer again.
2. Confirm that the remaining unbalance does not exceed the following on either side.
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 degrees)
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.
The wheel unit air pressure stem is made from aluminum and can be damaged. Do not
tilt or use excessive side force when checking air pressure or filling tire with air. Some
tire pressure gauges and air filling nozzles have extended tips, which can provide
enough leverage to easily bend or break the wheel unit.
2014 - Mazda2 - Suspension
NOTE:
After the wheel unit replacement, registration of the wheel unit identification codes
must be performed.
ID registration can be done using the M-MDS, or not using the M-MDS.

2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of
the IDS.
4. Leave the vehicle with the ignition to off for 15 min or more.
6. Verify that the TPMS warning light turns on and off in 0.5 s cycles repeatedly.
7. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more for 10 min to implement
the wheel unit ID 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.
NOTE:
3. Drive the vehicle at a speed of 25 km/h {15.5 mph} or more for 10 min or more.
4. After driving for 10 min, verify that the TPMS warning light does not flash and is not
illuminated.
2014 - Mazda2 - Suspension
3. Install the valve core and valve cap, put air into the tire.
CAUTION:
A TPMS wheel unit has an exclusive valve cap and valve core. If a valve core other than
the exclusive one is installed, the wheel unit could be damaged due to the generation of
rust. Always install the exclusive valve cap and valve core for TPMS.
The wheel unit air pressure stem is made from aluminum and can be damaged. Do not
tilt or use excessive side force when checking air pressure or filling tire with air. Some
tire pressure gauges and air filling nozzles have extended tips, which can provide
enough leverage to easily bend or break the wheel unit.
4. When replacing wheel unit (s), register the new wheel unit ID (s). (See WHEEL UNIT ID
REGISTRATION .)
NOTE:
If the wheel unit is replaced with a new one, the ID registration must be performed.

3. Install the No.1 engine mounting (engine side). (See ENGINE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 1.5].)
1. Install the ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness grommet to the shock absorber as shown in the figure.
2. Install the ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness clip to the shock absorber.
3. Install the ABS wheel-speed sensor to the steering knuckle, then tighten the bolt (ABS wheel-speed sensor) to the specified
torque.
4. Verify that the ABS wheel-speed sensor wiring harness is not twisted.

4Mounting rubber
1. Place the shock absorber on a level surface or with the piston pointing downwards.
2. Drill a 2—3 mm {0.08—0.11 in} hole at a point 20 mm {0.79 in} from the bottom of
the tube, so that the gas can escape.
WARNING:
Whenever drilling into a shock absorber, wear protective eye wear. The gas
in the shock absorber is pressurized and could spray metal chips into the
eyes and face.
4. The oil can be collected by moving the piston rod several times up and down, and cut the
tube at the end.
NOTE:
Even when either left or right coil spring is replaced, remove both rear shock absorber lower bolts so that
the rear side of the torsion beam axle can be lowered in order to assure a space for the coil spring removal.
3. Lower the jack slowly, remove the upper spring seat and rear coil spring.
1. Install the lower spring seat so that the arrow is facing to the front of the vehicle.
1. Install the coil spring with the end of the coil spring seated on the step of the upper spring seat.

WARNING:
Verify that the torsion beam axle component is securely supported by a jack. If the torsion beam axle component falls off, it
could cause serious injury or death, and damage to the vehicle.
1. Lower the jack slowly and remove the torsion beam axle component.
2. Verify that there is no dirt in the torsion beam axle where the bushing is press-fit. Clean the area if there is any dirt.
NOTE:
Press-fit the bushing perpendicular to the surface of the torsion beam axle.
1. Set the bushing to the torsion beam axle with as shown in the figure.
2. Press-fit the bushing using the SSTs.
