FOREWORD
A thorough familiarization with this manual is important for proper repair and maintenance. It should always be kept in a handy place for quick and easy reference.
The contents of this manual, including drawings and specifications, are the latest available at the time of printing. As modifications affecting repair or maintenance occur, relevant information supplementary to this volume will be made available at Mazda dealers. This manual should be kept up-to-date.
VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS (VIN)
JM1 TA22KT1 200001
JM1 TA222*T1 200001
JACKING POSITIONS
Use safety stands to support the vehicle after it has been lifted.
VEHICLE LIFT POSITIONS
DYNAMOMETER
When test-running a vehicle on a dynamometer
COMPRESSED AIR
When using compressed air to clean or remove parts
Conversion to SI Units (Systeme International d'Unites)
All numerical values in this manual are based on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted from these values.
Rounding off
Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as the SI unit value. For example, if the SI unit value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded offto 37.8.
Upper and lower limits
When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is an upper limit and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm2 in the following specifications:
The actual converted values for 2.7 kgf/cm2 are 264 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the top specification, 2.7 is used as an upper limit, so its converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the bottom specification, 2.7 is used as a lower limit, so its converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.
SAE STANDARDS
In accordance with new regulations, SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standard names and abbreviations are now used in this manual. The table below lists the names and abbreviations that have been used in Mazda manuals up to now and their SAE equivalents.
REASSEMBLY
Standard values, such as torques and certain adjustments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts.
If removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones:
Depending on location:
TEST LIGHT
The test light, as shown in the figure, uses a 12V bulb. The two lead wires should be connected to probes.The test light is used for simple voltage checks andfor checking for short circuits.
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.
VOLTMETER
The DC voltmeter is used to measure circuit voltage. A voltmeter with a range of 15V or more is used by connecting the positive (+) probe (red lead wire) to the point where voltage is to be measured and the negative (-) probe (black lead wire) to a body ground.
OHMMETER
The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance between two points in a circuit, and to check for continuity and short circuits.
BATTERY CABLE
Before disconnecting connectors or removing electrical parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.
CONNECTORS Data Link Connector
Insert the probe into the service hole when connecting a jumper wire to the data link connector.
Disconnecting Connectors
When disconnecting two connectors, grasp the connectors, not the wires. Connectors can be disconnected by pressing or pulling the lock lever as shown.
Locking connector
When locking connectors, listen for a click that will indicate they are securely locked.
ELECTRICAL PARTS
Inspection
TERMINALS
Inspection
Pull lightly on individual wires to check that they are secured in the terminal.
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 then, with the terminal locking tab pressed down, pull the terminal out from the connector.
SENSORS, SWITCHES, AND RELAYS
Handle sensors, switches, and relays carefully. Do not drop them or strike them against other objects.
FUSE
Replacement
If a radio system is installed improperly or if a high-powered type is used, the CIS and other systems may be affected.
When the vehicle is to be equipped with a radio, observe the following precautions:
AUDIO ANTITHEFT SYSTEM
An audio with an antitheft function is optionally available. Before removing the negative battery terminal or disconnecting the audio power source, obtain the code number and deactivate the audio antitheft system.
