Electronic Shift Control System: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Mazda B4000, 2002 Mazda B4000, 2002 Mazda B3000, 2001 Mazda B4000, and 2001 Mazda B3000. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Four-wheel drive mode is selected using a rotary switch located on the instrument panel. With the vehicle ignition on, the on-board controller verifies and matches the shift motor position to the switch. To shift in and out of 4WD low, three conditions must be met:
- The automatic transmission must be in NEUTRAL or the manual clutch depressed.
- The brake must be applied.
- The vehicle speed must be less than 3 MPH (5 km/h).
