WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Connect battery positive voltage to air mix actuator terminal F (or G), and ground to terminal G (or F), and then verify that the air mix actuator operates as shown in the table.
- If the operation condition is not normal, replace the air mix actuator.
