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. Disconnect the transaxle connector.
    CAUTION:
    • Do not apply battery position voltage to terminals A, B, C, D, F and G for more than three seconds.
    NOTE:
    • Because the operation sound of the valves is small, perform inspection in a quiet place.
  2. Apply battery positive voltage to terminals A, B, C, F or G and battery negative voltage to GND, and verify that operating sound is heard from solenoid.
    • If the "click" is not heard, inspect the transaxle harness.
      • If the transaxle harness is okay, perform the resistance inspection (off-vehicle inspection).
      • If there is a problem, repair or replace the transaxle harness.
  3. Apply battery positive voltage to terminal D and battery negative voltage to terminal I, and verify that operating sound is heard from solenoid.
    • If the "click" is not heard, inspect the transaxle harness.
      • If transaxle harness is okay, perform the resistance inspection (off-vehicle inspection)
      • If there is a problem, repair or replace the transaxle harness.
