Commander Switch Removal/Installation: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Mazda CX-5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • The connectivity master unit (CMU) determines the presence/non-presence of a commander switch and records it based on the communication status when the ignition is switched ON (engine off or on) or to the ACC position for the first time after the negative battery cable is connected.
  • If the negative battery cable is connected while the connectivity master unit (CMU) has recorded the non-presence of the commander switch and thereafter a commander switch is installed, the installed commander switch will not operate.
  • When installing or removing the commander switch, always disconnect the negative battery cable, and after the servicing is completed, switch the ignition to ACC or ON (engine off or on) to allow the connectivity master unit (CMU) to record the presence/non-presence of the commander switch.
  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE DISCONNECTION/CONNECTION .)
  2. Remove the Panel. (See UPPER PANEL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
  3. Lift up the panel hook in the direction of arrow (1) shown in the figure, move it in the direction of arrow (2), and detach the cover hooks from the commander switch.
