On-board Diagnostic Function

DTC reading/clearing (past malfunction indication)

•  When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the SAS control module detects intermittent DTCs and module DTCs, and stores them in memory. The method for the DTCs from SAS control module has adopted a time-out control for determining the existence of malfunctions in the system. For the SAS control module to detect a malfunction, it is necessary for the malfunction to be present in the system for 1 min or more. For the SAS control module to determine that a malfunction has been cleared, a malfunction cannot present for 1 min or more. The actual time for the malfunction detection time-out differs according to each DTC. DTCs can be searched using the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS). The DTC that is stored in the SAS control module is displayed on the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) together with a simple definition of the DTC. If there are no DTCs stored, the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) displays “PASS-SAS CONTROL MODULE”. If malfunctions have been cleared, the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) can be used to clear DTCs from the memory of the SAS control module. Once 254 ignition switch operations have been recorded since a malfunction was last detected, DTCs will automatically be removed from memory. Once cleared, DTCs cannot be re-displayed, therefore record displayed DTCs before performing the clearing procedure. Malfunction DTCs can be redisplayed after performing the DTC clearing operation because DTCs cannot be cleared from the SAS control module.

Reading DTCs (present malfunction indication)

•  The self test option is used to confirm that no electrical malfunctions exist in the air bag system. Upon entering the self test, the SAS control module will perform an electrical check of each electrical component in the system. If a concern is detected, a DTC is displayed on the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) with a brief description of the DTC. Malfunctions detected during the self test are not stored in memory unless the same malfunction was also detected during normal vehicle operation. The self test should always be performed after any repair to confirm that the repair was successful. To run the self test, connect the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) to the data link connector-2 (DLC-2), and follow the instructions on the mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) display. The SAS control module will run the self-test and display present malfunction DTCs on the screen.

Fail-safe function

•  If the SAS control module performance/function cannot be maintained due to any cause, the fail-safe function stops air bag system control and flashes the air bag system warning light to prevent the air bags from operating (deploying) accidentally.

Memory function

•  Stores malfunctions in the air bag system-related parts detected by the malfunction detection function, and the stored malfunction contents are not cleared even if the ignition switch is turned to the LOCK position or the negative battery cable is disconnected.
