Display DTC in recorded order
-
The Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) displays the DTC storage record in chronological order.
Display of previously recorded DTC (CMDTC/pending code)
-
DTCs for the two-drive cycle type are recorded in two steps. (As indicated in figures (1), (2) below)
In addition, if no malfunction is determined in one drive cycle, the PCM clears the pending code in the next drive cycle. (As indicated in figure (3) below)
-
As indicated in figure A below, if a DTC is also currently stored in the PCM, the DTC (CMDTC/pending code) is displayed in the self-test and the DTC storage record.
-
As indicated in figure B below, if only one drive cycle malfunction is detected in the DTC for the two-drive cycle type, the pending code is only displayed in the DTC storage record.
