Ground Circuit Checks

  1. Using an ohmmeter, check ground circuits to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) for continuity to ground. See appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to determine PCM ground terminals. See «PCM LOCATIONS»(ref-151892-S01261515462003010900000) table. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit to ground.
  2. Using a voltmeter, touch negative lead to a good ground. Touch positive lead to each ground terminal. With vehicle running, voltmeter should indicate less than one volt. If voltage reading is more than one volt, check for open circuit, corrosion, or loose connection on ground lead.

Power Circuit Checks

  1. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage between PCM constant battery power terminals and ground. See appropriate WIRING DIAGRAM under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS to determine PCM power terminals. See «PCM LOCATIONS»(ref-151892-S01261515462003010900000) table. If battery voltage is not present, check PCM power supply fuse. If fuse is okay, check for open in power supply or PCM wiring.
  2. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage between PCM ignition power terminals and ground. If battery voltage is not present, check power supply fuse(s). If fuse is okay, check for an open in wiring between fuse and PCM, or check for a defective ignition switch.
  3. Connect voltmeter between ground and PCM start (crank) signal terminal. Turn ignition switch to START position. Battery voltage should be present between PCM start terminal and ground only when ignition switch is in START position. If voltage is not present, check fuse(s). If fuse is okay, check for open circuit in wiring harness between fuse and PCM. If wiring harness is okay, check for a defective ignition switch.

Short Circuit Inspection Check for continuity between following: Purge solenoid valve harness connector terminal "A" and main relay 4-pin harness connector terminal "D" (White/Red wire) through common connector. Purge solenoid valve harness connector terminal "B" and breakout box terminal No. 67 (Brown/Red wire) through common connector. If continuity is present, repair short circuit in suspect wire or replace wire harness.

VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR

Note. On Mazda6 2.3L and 3.0L, variable valve timing actuator cannot be disassembled because it is a precision unit.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove plug hole plate.
  3. Remove high-tension leads.
  4. Remove Oil Control Valve (OCV) 2-pin harness connector.
  5. Remove ventilation hose.
  6. Remove cylinder head cover.
  7. Confirm groove on rotor and notch on cover of variable valve timing actuator are aligned and fitted. (Scheme 209) If groove and notch are not aligned, turn crankshaft clockwise two rotations. Verify that groove and notch are aligned. If groove and notch are still not aligned, replace variable valve timing actuator. If, when turning crankshaft, there is a hitting noise from variable valve timing actuator each time cam passes fully lifted position, it means that variable valve timing actuator is not secured. Replace variable valve timing actuator. Refer to «VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR»(ref-151901-S38245530762003010900000) under VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEM in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article.

  1. Remove the cylinder head cover. See VALVE COVER under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in appropriate article in ENGINES.
  2. Confirm key groove on rotor and timing mark on sprocket of variable valve timing actuator are aligned and fitted. (Scheme 210) If key groove and timing mark are not aligned, rotate crankshaft clockwise one rotation and then counterclockwise one rotation. Verify key groove and timing mark are aligned. If key groove and timing mark are still not aligned, replace variable valve timing actuator. Refer to «VARIABLE VALVE TIMING ACTUATOR»(ref-151901-S38245530762003010900000) under VARIABLE VALVE TIMING SYSTEM in REMOVAL, OVERHAUL & INSTALLATION article. If, when rotating crankshaft, there is a hitting noise from variable valve timing actuator each time cam passes fully lifted position, it means variable valve timing actuator is not secured. Replace variable valve timing actuator.

Scheme 211: Miata (Stopper Pin Inspection)
  1. Disconnect negative battery cable.
  2. Remove timing belt. See TIMING BELT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in appropriate article in ENGINES.
  3. Hold hexagonal part of intake camshaft with an adjustable wrench to prevent camshaft from rotating. (Scheme 211) Attempt to rotate variable valve timing actuator by hand and ensure it does not move. If variable valve timing actuator moves, stopper pin in variable valve timing actuator is not operating. Replace variable valve timing actuator.
  4. Install timing belt. See TIMING BELT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION in appropriate article in ENGINES.

MISCELLANEOUS CONTROLS

Note. Although some of the controlled devices listed here are not technically engine performance components, they can affect driveability if they malfunction.

A/C Clutch Relay

For detailed A/C clutch diagnostic procedures, see appropriate MANUAL A/C-HEATER SYSTEMS or AUTOMATIC A/C HEATER SYSTEMS articles in AIR CONDITIONING & HEATING.

Single Speed Motor - Mazda6 (3.0L)

  1. Ensure battery is fully charged. Disconnect cooling fan motor 2-pin harness connector from fan control module. Connect ammeter between positive battery terminal and positive terminal of fan control module 2-pin harness connector. Ground negative terminal of fan control module 2-pin harness connector. (Scheme 212)
  2. Ensure cooling fan motor operates smoothly at specified standard current draw. See «COOLING FAN MOTOR CURRENT DRAW SPECIFICATIONS»(ref-151892-S35436901822003010900000) table. If cooling fan motor current draw is not as specified, replace cooling fan motor.
