Inspection Method for Sensors

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Connect the WDS or equivalent to the DLC-2.
  2. Turn ignition switch to ON position (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 or poorly mounted sensor, or both.
