PID/Data Monitor Reference Value (3.0L [4V]): Notes

An attempt is made to provide as much information as possible; some vehicles may not display all input and output signals.

The Typical Diagnostic Reference Value Charts do not display fault parameter identifications (PIDs). These are PIDs which indicate a hard fault with the circuit. They display a value of YES or NO and are PIDs ending with the letter F.

Reference values may vary 20% depending on operating conditions, altitude, and other factors. RPM values are axle and tire dependent.

Values are taken at an altitude of approximately 55.7 meters (600 ft) above sea level.

See the , ACRONYMS AND DEFINITIONS for technical terms applicable to Mazda Motor Company products.

See ELECTRONIC ENGINE CONTROL (EEC) SYSTEM  for PID descriptions.

For detailed transmission diagnostics see DIAGNOSTICS . Transmission signals may be referred to in either alpha or numeric form. For example, 1=A, 2=B, 3=C.

• A. A/C on.
• B. Cooling fan on (single, low or high speed).
• C. Heated oxygen sensors (HO2S') should switch from rich to lean at least once every 3 seconds. HO2S voltage should toggle above and below 0.450 DCV and never be a negative value. Valid HO2S switching occurs only during closed loop fuel control operation.
• D. Downstream HO2S' stay close to a constant voltage when the catalyst monitor is off (positive value only). When the catalyst monitor is on, the HO2S switches from rich to lean above and below 0.450 DCV and should never be a negative value. For downstream HO2S' (12, 13, 22) greater activity results when the catalyst monitor is active.
• E. Brake pedal applied.
• F. The electric vapor management valve (VMV) commanded current varies from 0 mA - 1000 mA depending on the powertrain control module (PCM) command to purge the EVAP system.
• G. While pressing the transmission control switch (TCS) or switching to manual drive mode.
• H. Value is dependent on fuel tank level. Typical operating range is 15% (empty) to 90% (full).
• I. Steering wheel turned.
• J. Clutch pedal applied.
• K. Value is dependent upon ambient air temperature and may fall outside of range.
• L. Value is not useful under this condition.
• M. If equipped.
• N. Transmission in selected range.
• O. May change state under this condition.
• P. While pressing switch.
• Q. Value may cycle 5-6 times every 5 seconds.
• R. Canister vent duty cycles to 100% (close) when EVAP monitor test is running.
• S. Refer to SECURITY AND LOCKS -- TRIBUTE HYBRIDSECURITY AND LOCKS -- TRIBUTE HYBRID .
• T. Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) voltage and duty cycle varies from 0-VBAT or 0-100% depending on EGR demand.
• U. RPM dependent. If signal is 0 Hz at idle, check signal at 900 RPM.
• V. Crank position.
• W. Value may vary 20% depending on altitude, operating conditions, weather, and other factors.
• X. The normal operation value is from -1.5 to 3.5 degrees.
