Security light

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Switch the ignition to ON.
  2. Verify the security light status.
    • If a malfunction is detected, the DTC pattern begins flashing after the security light flashes or illuminates for approx. 1 min according to the DTC. However, because there are DTCs which cannot be confirmed using the security light, verify the DTCs that were detected using the M-MDS prior to beginning the servicing.
      • DTC 16 or below: Flashes for approx. 1 min  and the DTC flash pattern repeats 10 times.
      • DTC 21 or higher. Illuminate for approx. 1 min  and the DTC flash pattern repeats 10 times.
      • If more than one DTC is detected, only the DTC with the lowest number is displayed.
    • If there is no malfunction, the security light illuminates for approx. 3 s  , and then turns off.
  3. If there is a malfunction, verify the DTCs using the M-MDS. When several DTCs are detected, repair the malfunctioning location based on the DTC displayed by the security light
    NOTE:
    • Because of the possibility that one malfunction cause could result in several DTCs being detected, erase the DTCs after the repair is completed, and then re-inspect the DTCs.
  4. After completion of repairs, clear all DTCs stored in the keyless control module.
