Transmission Drive Cycle Test

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2003 Mazda B4000, 2003 Mazda B3000, 2003 Mazda B2300, 2002 Mazda B4000, and 2002 Mazda B3000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The transmission drive cycle test must be followed exactly. Malfunctions have to occur 4 times consecutively for continuous memory codes P0731, P0732, P0733 and P0734 to be set, and 5 times consecutively for continuous memory codes P0741 and P1740 to set.
  1. After repairing any engine-performance related DTCs, erase remaining transmission DTCs. Warm engine to normal operating temperature. Ensure transmission fluid level is correct.
  2. With gearshift lever in "D" position, accelerate from stop to 50 MPH. This allows transmission to shift into 5th gear. Hold speed for at least 15 seconds.
  3. While maintaining speed with transmission in 5th gear, lightly depress brake pedal and release (to operate brakelights). Hold speed for at least an additional 5 seconds. Bring vehicle to stop for at least 20 seconds with gearshift lever in "D" position.
  4. Repeat steps  1- 3 at least 5 times. Perform RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (QUICK TEST)  and record any continuous memory codes.
