DTC Inspection (Auto Leveling Control Module)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CMDTC Self Test 

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.

    (1) Select "Self Test". (2) Select "All CMDTCs".

  3. Verify the DTC according to the directions on the screen.
  4. After completion of repairs, clear all DTCs stored in the auto leveling control module. (See CLEARING DTC (Auto Leveling Control Module) .)

ODDTC Self Test 

  1. Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.
  2. After the vehicle is identified, select the following items from the initialization screen of the M-MDS.

    (1) Select "Self Test". (2) Select "Modules". (3) Select "AFS/ALM".

  3. Verify the DTC according to the directions on the screen.
  4. After completion of repairs, clear all DTCs stored in the auto leveling control module. (See CLEARING DTC (Auto Leveling Control Module) .)

Snapshot Data 

NOTE:
  • The auto leveling control module stores the following two types of snapshot data (vehicle information) when a DTC is detected and displays them in the M-MDS.
    • Vehicle information detected by auto leveling control module
    • Vehicle information detected by instrument cluster and received by auto leveling control module via CAN communication
  • The data for all DTCs currently detected is stored.

-: Not applicable

SNAPSHOT DATA ITEM

Snapshot Data Item  Unit  Data Contents  Data Read/Use Method  Corresponding Data Monitor Items 
AAT °C °F Ambient temperature - -
APP_STATUS Accelerator Pedal Off/Under20%/Over20%/FAIL Accelerator pedal position status - -
CFG_STATUS Config Complete/Not Configured/Config Error Instrument cluster configuration status - -
ECT_STATUS Under 0 degrees C/0 - Under 80 degrees C/Over 80 degrees C/FAIL Engine coolant temperature status - -
IC_VPWR V Instrument cluster power supply voltage
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the power supply voltage value of the instrument cluster sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the power supply voltage of the instrument cluster when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 VPWR *1
IG-ON_TIMER hh:mm:ss *2 Elapsed time since ignition was switched ON (engine off or on)
NOTE:
  • The instrument cluster records the elapsed time since the ignition was switched ON (engine off or on).
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the elapsed time since the ignition was switched ON (engine off or on) sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the elapsed time since the ignition was switched ON (engine off or on) when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 -
PWR_MODE_KEY Key Out/Key Recently Out (Position 0)/Accessory (Position 1)/Post Ignition (Position 2)/Ignition On (Position 2)/Running (Position 2)/Running - Starting
  • Key Out: Ignition switched off
  • Key Recently Out (Position 0): Elapsed timewithin 3 s since ignition was switched off
  • Accessory (Position 1): Ignition is switched to ACC
  • Post Ignition (Position 2): Elapsed timewithin 3 s since ignition was switched ON (engine off or on)
    • Ignition On (Position 2): Ignition switched ON (engine off)
    • Running (Position 2): Ignition switched ON (engine on)
    • Running - Starting: Cranking condition
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the ignition switch status sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the ignition switch status when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 -
RPM_STATUS Engine Stop/Under1500RPM/Over1500RPM/FAIL Engine speed status
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the engine speed sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the engine speed when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 TACHOMTR*1
SHIFT_STATUS P/N/
D/
R/
FAIL		 Selector lever position status
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the selector lever position sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the selector lever position when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 -
TOTAL_DIST km Miles Accumulated total traveled distance from completion of vehicle until auto leveling control module detects DTC (Odometer value in instrument cluster) The total traveled distance from which the auto leveling control module detects DTCs to the present can be calculated by performing the following procedure.
1. Verify the odometer value in the instrument cluster.
2. Verify the snapshot data item TOTAL_DIST.
3. Subtract 2 from 1.		 -
TOTAL_TIME hh:mm:ss *2 Accumulated total elapsed time since vehicle completion until auto leveling control module detects a DTC
NOTE:
  • When the ROOM fuse is removed, and the ignition is switched off, the time is not included in the elapsed time.
 The elapsed time from which the auto leveling control module detects DTCs to the present can be calculated by performing the following procedure.
1. Verify the instrument cluster PID item TOTAL_TIME.
2. Verify the snapshot data item TOTAL_TIME.
3. Subtract 2 from 1.		 TOTAL_TIME*1
VPWR V Auto leveling control module power supply voltage - VPWR_IG
VSPD_STATUS Stop/0-10km/h/Over10km/h/FAIL Vehicle speed status
  • The auto leveling control module constantly receives the vehicle speed sent via CAN signal from the instrument cluster.
  • If a DTC is detected, the auto leveling control module records the vehicle speed when the DTC was detected, and it is displayed in the M-MDS.
 -
*1: Instrument cluster PID (See PID/DATA MONITOR TABLE [INSTRUMENT CLUSTER] .)
*2: The seconds may be indicated after the decimal point.
