General Information: Other Mazda Tribute I рестайлинг

Range of Topics

1. The procedures for performing all required service operations are divided into the following five basic operations: Removal/Installation Disassembly/Assembly Replacement Inspection Adjustment
2. Simple operations which can be performed easily just by looking at the vehicle (i.e., removal/installation of parts, jacking, vehicle lifting, cleaning of parts and visual inspection) have been omitted.

Advisory Messages

You'll find several Warnings, Cautions, Notes, Specifications and Upper and Lower Limits in this manual.

Warning

1. A Warning indicates a situation in which serious injury or death could result if the warning is ignored.

Caution

1. A Caution indicates a situation in which damage to the vehicle or parts could result if the caution is ignored.

Note

1. A Note provides added information that will help you to complete a particular procedure.

Specification

1. The values indicate the allowable range when performing inspections or adjustments.

Upper and lower limits

1. The values indicate the upper and lower limits that must not be exceeded when performing inspections or adjustments.

Scheme 29

Engine tune-up

1. Any necessary adjustments are made after starting the engine.

UNITS

UNITS DESCRIPTION

Conversion to SI Units (System International Units)

1. All numerical values in this manual are used on SI units. Numbers shown in conventional units are converted from these values.

Rounding Off

1. Converted values are rounded off to the same number of places as the SI unit value. For example, if the SI unit value is 17.2 and the value after conversion is 37.84, the converted value will be rounded off to 37.8.

Upper and Lower Limits

1. When the data indicates upper and lower limits, the converted values are rounded down if the SI unit value is an upper limit and rounded up if the SI unit value is a lower limit. Therefore, converted values for the same SI unit value may differ after conversion. For example, consider 2.7 kgf/cm 2 in the following specifications: 210 - 260 kPa {2.1 - 2.7 kgf/cm} 2 , 30 - 38 psi 270 - 310 kPa {2.7 - 3.2 kgf/cm} 2 , 39 - 45 psi
2. The actual converted values for 2.7 kgf/cm 2 are 264 kPa and 38.4 psi. In the first specification, 2.7 is used as an upper limit, so the converted values are rounded down to 260 and 38. In the second specification, 2.7 is used as a lower limit, so the converted values are rounded up to 270 and 39.

Scheme 30

1. Always be sure to cover fenders, seats and floor areas before starting work.

Scheme 31

1. Be sure that all necessary tools and measuring equipment are available before starting any work.

Scheme 32

1. Use special tools when they are required.

Disconnection of the Negative Battery Cable

1. Before beginning any work, turn the ignition switch to LOCK, disconnect the negative battery cable and then wait for more than one minute to allow the backup supply of the air bag diagnostic monitor unit to deplete its stored power.

Disconnecting the battery cable will delete the memories of the clock, audio and DTCs, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to verify those memories before disconnecting the cable.

Dynamometer

1. When test-running a vehicle on a dynamometer: Place a fan, preferably a vehicle-speed proportional type, in front of the vehicle. Connect an exhaust gas ventilation unit. Cool the exhaust pipes with a fan. Keep the area around the vehicle uncluttered. Watch the water temperature gauge. WARNING: On 4WD vehicles, if the front wheels are on a dynamometer, the rear wheels must be on chassis rollers or the vehicle could lurch forward.

Scheme 33

1. Before disconnecting connectors or removing electrical parts, disconnect the negative battery cable.

Scheme 34

1. Insert the probe into the service hole when connecting a jumper wire to the data link connector. CAUTION: Inserting a jumper wire probe into the data link connector terminal may damage the terminal.

Scheme 35

Scheme 36

1. When disconnecting two connectors, grasp the connectors, not the wires.
2. Connectors can be disconnected by pressing or pulling the lock lever as shown.

Scheme 37

1. When locking connectors, listen for a click indicating they are securely locked.

Scheme 38

Scheme 39

1. When a tester is used for checking continuity or measuring voltage, insert the tester probe from the wiring harness side.
2. Check the terminals of waterproof connectors from the connector side since they cannot be accessed from the wiring harness side. CAUTION: To prevent damage to the terminal, wrap a thin wire around the lead before inserting into terminal.

Scheme 40

1. Pull lightly on individual wires to check that they are secured in the terminal.

Scheme 41

1. Use the appropriate tools to remove a terminal as shown. While installing a terminal, be sure to insert it until it locks securely.
2. Insert a thin piece of metal from the terminal side of the connector and with the terminal locking tab pressed down, pull the terminal out from the connector.

Scheme 42

1. Handle sensors, switches and relays carefully. Do not drop them or strike them against other objects.

Scheme 43

1. Two-color wires are indicated by a two-color code symbol.
2. The first letter indicates the base color of the wire and the second, the color of the stripe. WIRING COLOR CODES COLOR CODE COLOR CODE Blue L Orange O Black B Pink P Brown BR Red R Dark Blue DL Sky Blue SB Dark Green DG Tan T Green G White W Gray GY Yellow Y Light Blue LB Violet V Light Green LG

Scheme 44

1. When replacing a fuse, be sure to replace it with one of the same capacity. If a fuse fails again, the circuit probably has a short and the wiring should be checked.
2. Be sure the negative battery terminal is disconnected before replacing a main fuse.
3. When replacing a pullout fuse, use the fuse puller.

Scheme 45

1. A jumper wire is used to create a temporary circuit. Connect the jumper wire between the terminals of a circuit to bypass a switch. CAUTION: Do not connect a jumper wire from the power source line to a body ground. This may cause burning or other damage to wiring harnesses or electronic components.

Scheme 46

1. The DC voltmeter is used to measure circuit voltage. A voltmeter with a range of 15 V or more is used by connecting the positive (+) probe (red lead wire) to the point where voltage will be measured and the negative (-) probe (black lead wire) to a body ground.

Scheme 47

1. The ohmmeter is used to measure the resistance between two points in a circuit and to check for continuity and short circuits. CAUTION: Do not connect the ohmmeter to any circuit where voltage is applied. This will damage the ohmmeter.

JACKING

Scheme 48

1. The jacking point is a tab that extends from the front suspension lower control arm at the bolt head of the lower control arm.

Scheme 49

1. The rear jacking points are located on the rear trailing arms.

Scheme 50

1. The lifting points are part of the uni-body structure.

Scheme 51

Proper lifting and towing are necessary to prevent damage to the vehicle. State and local laws must be followed.

When a vehicle is towed on its front wheels, lock the steering wheel in a straight ahead position with a steering wheel clamp.

On 2WD vehicles, it is acceptable to tow the vehicles with the front wheels on the ground and the rear wheels off the ground.

On 4WD vehicles, it is recommended that the vehicle be towed with a wheel lift or flatbed equipment.

Do not tow with sling belt equipment.

Front Towing

Before the vehicle is towed on its front wheels, with rear wheels on dolly, release the parking brake and put the gearshift (both manual and automatic) in N (Neutral).

Rear Towing

Before the vehicle is towed on its rear wheels, with front wheels on dolly, release the parking brake and put the gearshift (both manual and automatic) in N (Neutral).

Towing a vehicle with a manual transmission with the front wheels off the ground

1. Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

Towing a vehicle with an automatic transmission with the front wheels off the ground

1. Place the transmission in N (Neutral).

Towing Four-Wheel Drive Vehicles

On 4WD vehicles, it is recommended that the vehicle be towed with a wheel lift and dolly or flatbed equipment.
