Forced Ignition On [With Advanced Keyless Entry And Push Button Start System]

NOTE:

In order to perform a forced ignition ON, the M-MDS (IDS) is necessary. If the servicing is being done outside of an Authorized Mazda dealership, contact an Authorized Mazda dealership for instructions.
The forced ignition ON procedure forces a power supply to each part when no power is available even after the ignition switch has been operated. However, the engine cannot be started and the steering cannot be unlocked.
When performing a forced ignition ON procedure, remove all advanced keys from the vehicle. If an advanced key is left in the vehicle, the forced ignition ON procedure cannot be done.

Verify that there are no advanced keys in the vehicle.
Get PCM part number from As-built site.
Connect the M-MDS (IDS) to the DLC-2.
