Determination Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2017 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- When disconnecting the connector, verify that there is no looseness, damage, deformation, corrosion, or poor connection of the connector terminals.
- When inspecting the DLC-2, touch it with a paper clip or similar thin pin without directly inserting a tester into the terminals.
