INAPPROPRIATE OPERATION AND CONTROL RECORD 0x30 (TEMPERATURE RESTRICTION CONTROL): Outline

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.

If the driver continues to depress the accelerator pedal accidentally while asleep with the vehicle stopped and the engine running, the continuous high engine speed causes the temperature of the engine and exhaust system parts to increase. If the temperature of the engine and exhaust system parts increases, it may cause part damage. To prevent this, the PCM performs the temperature restriction control when the following operation conditions are met.
