AWD Control Module Removal/Installation
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the coupling component calibration data from the AWD control module before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the AWD control module. The coupling component calibration data is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.
- If the configuration was not performed after replacing with a new AWD control module, the following conditions can be considered as occurring because the coupling component calibration data was not recorded in the AWD control module.
- System does not operate normally.
- Problem with coupling component durability may occur.
NOTE:
- The AWD control module prior to replacement stores the coupling component calibration data.
- If coupling component calibration data from the AWD control module prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the coupling component calibration data writing. (Refer to Coupling Component Calibration Data Writing .)
- When replacing the AWD control module, perform the configuration. (Refer to AWD Control Module Configuration .)
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. (Refer to NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
- Remove the front scuff plate. (Refer to FRONT SCUFF PLATE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Partially peel back the seaming welt.
- Remove the front side trim. (Refer to FRONT SIDE TRIM REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Disconnect the connector.
- Remove the bolt.
- Slide the AWD control module toward the connector, and detach the clip.
- Remove the AWD control module.
- Install in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
- If configuration cannot be performed by reading/writing of the coupling component calibration data, perform the coupling component calibration data writing. (Refer to Coupling Component Calibration Data Writing .)
