WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2006 Mazda MPV, 2005 Mazda MPV, 2004 Mazda MPV, 2004 Mazda 6, and 2003 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The pilot valve reduces line pressure and adjusts to the pilot pressure. Pilot pressure is adjusted to the fixed pressure irrelevant of driving conditions and operates as a signal pressure for each solenoid valve.
