Diagnostic procedure

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.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE CHART

STEP INSPECTION ACTION
1 INSPECT FOR MALFUNCTION IN BCM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Did any of the following items operate during the keyless entry system operation inspection?
  • All doors lock/unlock
  • Hazard wiring light flashes
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the connection of the BCM connectors, and go to Step 4.
2 INSPECT FOR MALFUNCTION IN KEYLESS SWITCH OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Did the following item operate during the keyless entry system operation inspection?
  • All doors lock/unlock
Yes Go to the next step
No Go to Step 9.
3 INSPECT FOR MALFUNCTION IN DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Did the following item operate during the keyless entry system operation inspection?
  • Hazard warning light flashes
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to Step 11.
*4 INSPECT BCM POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
  • Are the BCM power supply and voltage normal?
  • IG1 signal (terminal 3AB, 4A)
  • B+ signal (terminal 2D, 2J, 4B, 4C)
Yes Go to the next step.
No
  • Inspect for burnt fuse
  • Inspect the power supply system wiring harness for an open or short circuit.
  • Then go to Step 14.
*5 INSPECT BCM GROUND CIRCUIT 
  • Is the BCM ground voltage normal?
  • 0V (terminal 1V, 2A)
Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect the ground system wiring harness for open circuit. Then go to Step 14
*6 INSPECT DOOR SWITCH SIGNAL 
  • Monitor following BCM (door switch) PID using the M-MDS
    • TR/LG_SW (Trunk lid latch switch)
    • DRSW_P (Passenger's door latch switch)
    • DRSW_D (Driver's door switch)
  • Are monitored PID values normal?
Yes Go to the next step
No
  • Inspect for open or short circuit in wiring harness between BCM and suspected door latch/trunk lid latch switch
*7 INSPECT DOOR SWITCH SIGNAL VOLTAGE 
  • Are the wiring harness between the BCM and each door latch switch normal?
    • Inspect each terminal (8B, 8D, 8F, 8H) under the following conditions
  • Door closed 1.0V or less
  • Door open: B+ 
Yes Go to the next step
No
  • Inspect the door switch.
  • Inspect the door switch system wiring harness for a short circuit
  • Then go to Step 14
8 INSPECT KEYLESS SWITCH 
  • Is the keyless switch normal?

ON. 12V 
OFF 0V 
Yes Replace the BCM
No Replace the keyless switch, then go to Step 14
*9 INSPECT IF MALFUNCTION IS IN DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR, BCM GROUND CIRCUIT OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Measure the voltage at the BCM terminals 71, 7M and 7K while operating the transmitter
    • All doors locked. 1.0 V or less B+ 1.0 V or less  (7I terminal)
    • All doors unlocked. 1.0 V or less B+ 1.0 V or less  (7M terminal)
    • Driver-side door unlocked 1.0 V or less B+ 1.0 V or less  (7K terminal)
  • Is the voltage as above?
Yes Go to the next step
No
  • Inspect the wiring harness between BCM and the door lock actuator for an open or short circuit.
  • Inspect the door lock actuator
  • Then go to Step 14
10 INSPECT DOOR LOCK LINKAGE 
  • Operate the key cylinder and verify the door locks and unlock manually
  • Does every door lock system work?
Yes Go to step 12
No Inspect the door lock linkage then go to Step 14
*11 INSPECT FOR MALFUNCTION IN THEFT-DETERRENT SYSTEM OR ELSEWHERE 
  • Is the theft-deterrent system equipped?
Yes Go to the next step.
No Go to step 13
12 INSPECT BONNET SWITCH AND TRUNK SIGNAL 
  • Monitor following BCM PID using the M-MDS
    • TR/LG_SW (trunk lid latch switch)
    • HOOD_SW (bonnet latch switch)
  • Are monitored PID values ON (open)?
Yes Normal operation (Hazard warning light flashing on vehicles with theft-deterrent system operates in conjunction with theft-deterrent system).
No Go to the next step
*13 INSPECT TURN LIGHT SIGNAL CIRCUIT 
  • Measure voltage at the BCM terminals 81,8J, 1P (right side turn signal), 8K, 8L and 1R (left side turn signal) while operating hazard and/ or turn signal on.
  • Are the terminal voltages are alternated between 1.0V or less and B+  ?
Yes Verify the malfunction symptom again.
No
  • Inspect the wiring harnesses between the BCM and each turn light for a short circuit.
  • Inspect each turn light.
  • If these items are normal, replace the BCM.
*14 REINSPECT MALFUNCTION SYMPTOM AFTER REPAIR 
  • Does the keyless entry system operate properly?
Yes Troubleshooting completed. Explain repairs to the customer.
No Reinspect the malfunction symptoms, then repeat from Step 1 if the malfunction recurs.
