Diagnostic Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- If FREEZE FRAME DATA has been recorded, go to next step. If FREEZE FRAME DATA has not been recorded, record FREEZE FRAME DATA. Go to next step.
- Verify Related Repair Information Availability - Check for related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. If any related repair information is available, perform repair or diagnosis according to available repair information. If vehicle is not repaired, go to next step. If related repair information is not available, go to next step.
- Inspect Throttle Body Connector - Turn ignition off. Verify throttle body connector is connected securely. Is connector is connected securely, go to next step. If connector is not connected securely, reconnect connector. After repair, go to step 10.
- Inspect Throttle Body Connector For Poor Connection - Disconnect throttle body connector. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion). If malfunction is not present, go to next step. If malfunction is present, repair or replace suspect terminal. After repair, go to step 10.
- Inspect TP Sensor - Perform TP sensor inspection. See THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR under ENGINE SENSORS & SWITCHES in SYSTEM & COMPONENT TESTING - MAZDA6, MIATA, MPV, PROTEGE & PROTEGE5 article. If TP sensor is okay, go to next step. If TP sensor is faulty, replace TP sensor. After repair, go to step 10.
- Inspect TP2 Signal Circuit For Short To Power - Turn ignition on, engine off. Measure voltage between throttle body 6-pin harness connector terminal "C" (Brown/Red wire) and body ground. See Figure. If voltage reading is not more than 4.9 volts, go to next step. If voltage reading is more than 4.9 volts, repair or replace short to power circuit between throttle body 6-pin harness connector terminal "C" (Brown/Red wire) and PCM 27-pin harness connector terminal "3J" (Brown Black wire). See ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS article in ELECTRICAL. After repair, go to step 10.
- Verify TP Sensor Ground Circuit For Open Circuit - Inspect continuity between throttle body 6-pin harness connector terminal "D" (White/Blue wire) and body ground. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit between throttle body 6-pin harness connector terminal "D" (White/Blue wire) and PCM 27-pin harness connector terminal "3K" (Pink/Blue wire). After repair, go to step 10.
- Inspect PCM Connector - Disconnect PCM harness connectors. Inspect for poor connection (such as damaged, pulled-out terminals, corrosion). If no malfunction is present, go to next step. If any malfunction is present, repair or replace terminal. After repair, go to step 10.
- Verify TP Signal Circuit For Short To Constant Voltage Circuit - Check continuity between throttle body 6-pin harness connector terminal "A" (Brown wire) and terminal "B" (White wire). If continuity is present, repair or replace suspected harness. After repair, go to next step.
- Verify Trouble Shooting Of DTC P0223 Is Completed - Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors. Clear DTC from PCM memory using WDS or equivalent. Turn ignition off. Start engine and warm it up completely. If PENDING CODE of same DTC is not present, go to next step. If PENDING CODE of same DTC is present, replace PCM. For PCM removal and installation, see POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE under COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article. After repair, go to next step.
- Verify After Repair Procedure - Using scan tool, perform After Repair Procedure. See AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE . If any DTCs are present, go to appropriate DTC inspection. Refer to DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE DEFINITIONS . If no DTCs are present, trouble shooting is complete.
