WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.0, MZR 2.5] .) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [MZR 2.3 DISI TURBO] .) (See BATTERY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0] .)
- Remove the auto leveling sensor. (See AUTO LEVELING SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION .)
- Connect the three dry cell batteries (1.5 V) in a series.
- Connect auto leveling sensor terminal A to the battery's minus terminal, and terminal C to the battery's plus terminal, and apply 4.5 V of voltage between terminals A and C.
- Connect the tester as shown in the figure.
- When slowly moving the link up and down, verify that the shift is linear while the voltage is 0.5 to 4.5 V.
- If the voltage cannot be verified as indicated in the graph, replace the auto leveling sensor.
