System Inspection: Preparation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Verify that the battery is fully charged. With the ignition switch at ON, verify that the ABS and BRAKE system warning lights go out after 3 seconds.
- If the lights stay on after 3 seconds, the ABS/TCS HU/CM detects a failure. Follow the troubleshooting procedures.
- Turn the ignition switch off.
- On level ground, jack up the vehicle and support it evenly on safety stands. Shift the transaxle to N position.
- Release the parking brake.
- Rotate the wheels by hand, and inspect for brake drag.
