DIAGNOSTIC STRATEGY:

Note: Do not take short cuts or assume that critical adjustments have already been made.

Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transaxle is simplified by using the proven method of diagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure to follow. Follow the procedures as written to avoid missing critical components or steps. To correctly diagnose a concern, the technician should have the following publications available:
- Mazda Tips/Repair Information Data Base
- Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs)
- Wiring Diagram
- Transaxle Tester Manual
These publications provide the information required when diagnosing transaxle concerns.
