DESCRIPTION
Use the following repair procedures to test Mazda vehicle batteries and to generate a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). A DTC is required for warranty
claim submission. Incorrect battery testing using the Mazda Micro491 Required Battery Tester may result in unnecessary/improper battery replacement.
Mazda batteries have two (2) rating types:
1. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard):
JIS coding identifies a battery by the capacity (amps), dimensions, and battery terminal type. Vehicles manufactured in Japan come from the factory with
a JIS rated battery. JIS codes are six-digit alpha-numeric markings molded into the top of the battery.
NOTE:
Replacement batteries may use a CCA rating. If so, use the CCA rating listed on the battery.
2. CCA (Cold Cranking Amps):
CCA rated batteries are supplied with domestically produced vehicles. The CCA rating indicates the battery's Cold Cranking Amps. This CCA rating is
normally located on a sticker affixed to the top of the battery.
