Inspection Method for Actuators or Relays

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (Engine OFF).
    NOTE:
    • If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
  3. Prepare the output device control function for actuators or relays that you are inspecting.
  4. Vibrate the actuator or relay with your finger for 3 s after output device control function is activated.
    • If a variable click sound is heard, check for poor connection or poorly mounted actuator/relay, or both.
    NOTE:
    • Vibrating relays too strongly may result in open relays.
