WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the PCM. (See PCM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
Connect WDS or equivalent to DLC-2 connector.

- If wave profile or voltage are out of specifications, carry out the "Circuit Open/Short Inspection".
  - PCM terminal: 3V(+) <--> 4A(-)
  - Oscilloscope setting: 2.0V/DIV(Y), 20ms/DIV(X), DC range
  - Vehicle condition: Idling
