Operation Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION: Do not apply battery positive voltage to connector terminals for more than 3 seconds.

Disconnect the negative battery cable. Disconnect transaxle 10-pin connector No. 1. Apply battery positive voltage to solenoid terminals "A" through "I" and battery negative voltage to ground. See WIRING DIAGRAMS . Verify that operating sound is heard from each solenoid. If operating sound is not heard, inspect the transaxle harness. If the transaxle harness is okay, replace suspect solenoid.
