ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC
P–9

OUTLINEA6E697043000201•The operation of the on-board diagnostic system for ABS (ABS/TCS) or DSC is the same as that of the current
Mazda6 (GG) L8, LF, L3 engine 2WD model, except for the following. (See Mazda6 Training Manual
3359-1*-02C.)
— Due to the addition of the 4WD model, DTCs and PID data monitor has been added.
—Due to the addition of the MZR-CD (RF Turbo) engine model, the DTC C1119 fail-safe function and the
detection condition have been changed.
Fail-safe Function
Fail-safe function table
*1: When engine speed signal through CAN is out of specification, the light illuminates.*2: When engine speed signal through CAN is out of specification, the system is suspended.*3: When engine speed signal value through CAN is invalid, only brake TCS is available.*4: When fuel injection information through CAN is out of specification or invalid, only brake TCS is available.*5: When engine speed signal value through CAN is invalid, only brake DSC is available.*6: When the engine control system has a malfunction, only brake DSC is available.

PRECAUTION (BRAKES)A6E691001020201Wheels and Tires 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 Lines Disconnection/Connection
Caution
•Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces. If brake fluid does get 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.
•If any brake line has been disconnected anytime during the procedure, add brake fluid, bleed the brakes,
and inspect for leakage after the procedure has been completed.
Connectors Disconnection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable before doing any work that requires handling of connectors. Reconnect
the negative battery cable only after the work is completed.
ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC Components Operations
1. Make sure that there are no DTCs in the ABS, ABS/TCS, or DSC memory after working on ABS, ABS/TCS or
DSC components.
•If there are any DTCs in the memory, clear them.
