•  The on-board diagnostic system consists of a malfunction detection system that detects abnormalities in input/ output signals when the ignition switch is at the ON position, a data monitor function that reads out specified input/output signals, and an active command modes function that execuse the wheel unit ID registration.

•  The Data Link Connector 2 (DLC-2), which groups together all the connectors used for malfunction diagnosis into a single location, has been adopted, thereby improving serviceability. Diagnosis is performed by connecting the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) to the DLC-2.

•  In addition to DTC read-out, the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) is used to clear DTCs using the display screen of the diagnostic tester, and to access the data monitor, providing enhanced malfunction diagnosis and improved serviceability.
