Memory function

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The memory function converts a malfunction detected by the malfunction detection function to a DTC and stores it. The error currently occurring is stored as a present malfunction. Up to three DTCs (with audio unit), or six (with car-navigation unit) can be stored as a present malfunction. The error that has previously occurred is stored as a past malfunction. Up to three DTCs (with audio unit), or six (with car-navigation unit) can be stored as a past malfunction. The DTCs, together with the number of times the ignition switch has been turned off after the occurrence of an error (maximum of 255 times), are stored as a past malfunction.
