Rear Differential Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Performing the following procedures without first removing the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor may possibly cause an open circuit in the wiring harness if it is pulled by mistake. Before performing the following procedures, remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor (axle side) and fix it to an appropriate place where the sensor wiring harness will not be pulled by mistake while servicing the vehicle.
  • If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not input to the AWD control module or the characteristic value is input incorrectly after replacing the coupling component, it could result in the following conditions:
    • The system does not operate normally.
    • A problem with durability of the coupling component occurs.
      • After replacing the coupling component, read out the characteristic value of a new coupling component and write it to the AWD control module. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING .)
      • Read out the characteristic value of the coupling component from the label or mark shown in the figure.

NOTE:
  • The AWD control module stores the characteristic value of the coupling component before replacement.
  • If the characteristic value of a new coupling component is not written, the AWD control module does not store the value.
