Coupling Component Installation Note

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Mazda CX-30. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE:

Clean away the remaining silicone sealant before applying new silicone sealant.
Install the coupling component before the applied silicone sealant starts to harden.
Add rear differential oil after the silicone sealant hardens.

Apply a thin layer of silicone sealant TB1217C or equivalent to the contact surfaces of the coupling component and the rear differential.

Install the coupling component to the differential.
After replacing the coupling component, read out the characteristic value of a new coupling component and write it to the PCM. (See COUPLING COMPONENT CALIBRATION DATA WRITING .)
