SECURITY LIGHT CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION

Construction

• Allows visual confirmation of immobilizer system operation.

• If any malfunction is detected in the immobilizer system, the malfunction location can be verified by the security light illumination/flashing pattern.

Caution

• Always use the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) to verify DTCs even if the security light indicates a DTC. If the security light itself has a malfunction, a DTC may not be indicated properly.

Operation

• When the immobilizer system is operating, the security light flashes repeatedly 0.1 s every approx. 2 s.

• When the immobilizer system is deactivated normally, the security light illuminates for approx. 3 s and then goes out when the start knob is turned to the ON position.

• If the immobilizer system is not deactivated normally (malfunction detected by the malfunction diagnosis function), the security light indicates a DTC. When the start knob is turned to the ON position, the security light flashes or illuminates for 1 min in the following pattern:

- DTC 15 or lower: Flashes

- DTC 21: On

Note

• The security light indicates the DTC 10 times.

• If multiple DTCs that can be confirmed with the security light are detected, only the DTC with the lowest number of those detected will be indicated by the security light.
