Inspection Method for Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda MPV. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2.
  2. Turn ignition key to ON (Engine OFF).
    NOTE:
    • If engine starts and runs, perform the following steps at idle.
  3. Access PIDs for the switch you are inspecting.
  4. Vibrate the sensor slightly with your finger.
    • If PID value is unstable, or malfunction occurs, check for poor connection and/or poorly mounted sensor.
