WARNING

Servicing a vehicle can be dangerous. If you have not received

service-related training, the risks of injury, property damage, and
failure of servicing increase. The recommended servicing
procedures for the vehicle in this workshop manual were
developed with Mazda-trained technicians in mind. This manual
may be useful to non-Mazda trained technicians, but a technician
with our service-related training and experience will be at less
risk when performing service operations. However, all users of
this manual are excepted at least to know general safety
procedures.

This manual contains “Warnings” and “Cautions” applicable to

risks not normally encountered in a general technician’s
experience. They should be followed to reduce the risk of injury
and the risk that improper service or repair may damage the
vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to understand that
the “Warnings” and “Cautions” are not exhaustive. It is
impossible to warn of all the hazardous consequences that might
result from failure to follow the procedures.

The procedures recommended and described in this manual are

effective methods of performing service and repair. Some require
tools specifically designed for a specific purpose. Per-sons using
procedures and tools which are not recommended by Mazda
Motor Corporation must satisfy themselves thoroughly that
neither personal safety nor safety of the vehicle will be
jeopardized.

The contents of this manual, including drawings and

specifications, are the latest available at the time of printing, and
Mazda Motor Corporation reserves the right to change the vehicle
designs and alter the contents of this manual without notice and
without incurring obligation.

Parts should be replaced with genuine Mazda replacement parts

or with parts which match the quality of genuine Mazda
replacement parts. Persons using replacement parts of lesser
quality than that of genuine Mazda replacement parts must
satisfy themselves thoroughly that neither personal safety nor
safety of the vehicle will be jeopardized.

Mazda Motor Corporation is not responsible for any problems

which may arise from the use of this manual. The cause of such
problems includes but is not limited to insufficient service-
related training, use of improper tools, use of replacement parts
of lesser quality than that of genuine Mazda replacement parts, or
not being aware of any revision of this manual.

Battery cable
• Before disconnecting connectors or removing
electrical parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.

Wiring Harness
• To remove the wiring harness from the clip in the
engine room, pry up the hook of the clip using a
flathead screwdriver.

Caution
• Do not remove the Harness protective tape.
Otherwise, the wires could rub against the body,
which could result in water penetration and
electrical shorting.

Data link connector
• Insert the probe into the terminal when connecting a
jumper wire to the data link connector.

Caution
• Inserting a jumper wire probe into the data link
connector terminal may damage the terminal.

X3U000WAY
Disconnecting connectors
• When disconnecting connector, grasp the connectors,
not the wires.

WGIWXX0041E

Form No. 5574-1A-03D

 Electrical System General Procedures GI
• Connectors can be disconnected by pressing or
pulling the lock lever as shown.

WGIWXX0042E

Locking connector
• When locking connectors, listen for a click indicating
they are securely locked.

X3U000WB1

Inspection
• When a tester is used to inspect for continuity or
measuring voltage, insert the tester probe from the
wiring harness side.

WGIWXX0044E

• Inspect the terminals of waterproof connectors from

the connector side since they cannot be accessed
from the wiring harness side.

Caution
• To prevent damage to the terminal, wrap a thin
wire around the tester probe before inserting
into terminal.

GI Electrical System General Procedures
Terminals
Inspection
• Pull lightly on individual wires to verify that they are
secured in the terminal.

X3U000WB4

Replacement
• Use the appropriate tools to remove a terminal as
shown. When installing a terminal, be sure to insert it
until it locks securely.
• Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of
the connector and with the terminal locking tab
pressed down, pull the terminal out from the
connector.

X3U000WB5

Sensors, Switches, and Relays

• Handle sensors, switches, and relays carefully. Do not
drop them or strike them against other objects.

X3U000WB6

Fuse
Replacement
• When replacing a fuse, be sure to replace it with one
of the same capacity. If a fuse fails again, the circuit
probably has a short and the wiring should be
inspected.
• Be sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected
before replacing a main fuse.

 Electrical System General Procedures GI
• When replacing a pullout fuse, use the fuse puller.

ELECTRICAL TROUBLESHOOTING TOOLS

Jumper wire
• A jumper wire is used to create a temporary circuit.
Connect the jumper wire between the terminals of a
circuit to bypass a switch.

Caution
• Do not connect a jumper wire from the power
source line to a body ground. This may cause
burning or other damage to wiring harnesses or
electronic components.

X3U000WBB

Voltmeter
• The DC voltmeter is used to measure circuit voltage. A
voltmeter with a range of 15 V or more is used by
connecting the positive (+) probe (red lead wire) to the
point where voltage will be measured and the negative
(-) probe (black lead wire) to a body ground.

X3U000WBC

Ohmmeter
• The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance
between two points in a circuit and to inspect for
continuity and short circuits.

Caution
• Do not connect the ohmmeter to any circuit
where voltage is applied. This will damage the
ohmmeter.

RELAY AND MAIN FUSE BLOCK discharge headlight bulb, dry hands thoroughly,
and carry out work in an area out of rain.
When the light switch is on, approx. 25,000 V of
high voltage passes through the discharge
headlight bulb socket. Because of the danger of
(F)-( I ) electrical shock, do not insert fingers or a tester.
X-05 When the headlights are on, high voltage flows
around the socket and bulb. When turning on the
(F)-( I ) discharge headlights while working, always leave
X-06 the headlights in the vehicle-installed condition to
prevent electrical shock.

DISCHARGE HEADLIGHT CONTROL UNIT SERVICE WARNINGS

Because of the danger of electrical shock, when
inspecting with a tester, do not inspect the discharge
headlight control unit as a single unit or disassemble it.
