PRECAUTION (FRONT AND REAR AXLE)A6E631001018201Wheel and Tire Removal/Installation
1. The removal and installation procedures for the wheels and tires are not mentioned in this section. When a
wheel is removed, tighten it to 88—118 N·m {9.0—12.0 kgf·m, 65.0—87.0 ft·lbf}
Brake Line Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid gets on a painted surface, wipe it off
immediately.
1. Tighten the brake pipe flare nut using the SST (49 0259 770B). Be sure to modify the brake pipe flare nut
tightening torque to allow for use of a torque wrench-SST combination.
2. If any brake line has been disconnected any time during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes, and
inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Suspension Arm Removal/Installation
1. Tighten any part of the suspension that uses rubber bushings only after vehicle has been lowered and
unloaded.
Note
•Unloaded: Fuel tank is full. Engine coolant and engine oil are at specified level. Spare tire, jack, and tools
are in designated position.
Connector Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before disconnecting connectors.
Electronic Control 4WD System Parts
1. After servicing the electronic control 4WD system parts, verify that no DTC has been stored. Clear any DTCs
remaining in the memory.

Warning
•The engine stand is equipped with a self-lock mechanism, however, if the rear differential is in a
tilted condition, the self-lock mechanism could become inoperative. If the rear differential
unexpectedly rotates it could cause injury, therefore do not maintain the rear differential in a tilted
condition. When turning the rear differential, grasp the rotation handle firmly.
Note
•Clean away the old sealant before applying the new sealant.
•Install the rear cover within 10 minutes after applying sealant.
•Allow the sealant to set at least 30 minutes after installation before filling the differential with the specified
oil.
1. Assemble in the order indicated in the table.

DTC U0100 PCM communication
DETECTION
CONDITION•4WD CM detects that communication signals (throttle opening angle and engine speed signals) from
PCM are abnormal.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•PCM signals have communication error.
DTC U0101 TCM communication
DETECTION
CONDITION•4WD CM detects that communication signals (selector lever position and gear position signals) from
TCM are abnormal.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•TCM signals have communication error.
DTC U0121 ABS/DSC communication
DETECTION
CONDITION•4WD CM detects that communication signals (four-wheel speed, ABS/DSC operation condition, and

OUTLINE
OUTLINE OF CONSTRUCTIONA6E660201036201•The construction and operation of the steering system is essentially carried over from that of the current
Mazda6 (GG), except for the following features. (See Mazda6 Training Manual 3359-1*-02C.)
• Due to the addition of the MZR-CD (RF Turbo) engine, a gear-driven power steering oil pump has been
adopted. The operation of the oil pump is the same as that of the current Mazda6 (GG).
• The disassembly/assembly procedures for the steering gear and linkage of the newly equipped MZR-CD (RF
Turbo) engine, wagon and 4WD models are the same as that of the current Mazda6 (GG).
End Of Sie
FEATURESA6E660201036202Improved Steering Feel
• The fluid pressure characteristics of the power steering system has been optimized (MZR-CD (RF Turbo) and
