Control Module Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
  • Be careful not to damage the connector waterproofing when measuring the TCM terminal voltage. If damaged, the waterproofing efficiency could be negatively affected.
NOTE:
  • Use the ground of terminal A9 of the TCM connector (wiring harness-side) when measuring terminal voltage, as an error may occur when connecting the negative circuit tester to ground.
  1. Remove the air cleaner component. (See INTAKE-AIR SYSTEM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZI-3.7] .)
  2. Measure the voltage at each TCM connector (wiring harness-side) terminal and refer to the terminal voltage table.
    • If the voltage is not as specified in the Terminal Voltage Table (Reference), inspect the parts under "Inspection item (s)"

    Other B+
    A14 CAN_H Other modules Because this terminal is for serial communication, good/no good judgment by terminal voltage is not possible. Carry out inspection according to DTCs.
  3. Remove the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [AW6A-EL] .)
  4. Verify that continuity or resistance at terminal is as indicated in the terminal continuity/resistance table.

    • If there is any malfunction, inspect the parts under "Inspection item (s)".
      • If the system does not work properly even though the parts or related wiring harnesses do not have any malfunction, replace the TCM. (See TCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [AW6A-EL] .)
