tool and the next monitoring cycle has completed and passed for that DTC.
Confirmed emission-related MIL DTCs and any non-emission related, non-MIL DTCs are erased approximately 40 vehicle warm-up cycles after the
concern was last detected, or if the DTCs are cleared by the scan tool.
Pending emission-related MIL DTCs that never detect a concern on a second consecutive drive cycle (and never light the MIL) are not retained in
memory for any number of vehicle warm-up cycles; they are immediately cleared once an entire drive cycle has occurred without detecting a concern, or
until a request to clear DTCs has been made by the scan tool.
Any scan tool that meets OBD requirements can access the continuous memory to retrieve emission-related MIL DTCs. However, not all scan tools
access pending and non-emission related, non-MIL DTCs in the same way.
During most diagnostic procedures in this information, it is required that all DTCs be retrieved and cleared. Permanent DTCs cannot be directly cleared
by the scan tool. When a scan tool clears DTCs, pending and confirmed DTCs are immediately cleared. Permanent DTCs will not clear until the next
monitoring cycle has completed and passed for that DTC. See See: Computers and Control Systems/Description and Operation/Electronic Engine
Control (EEC) System for additional information on permanent DTCs.
System Pass
A system pass will be displayed when no DTCs are output and no IDS or equivalent tester communication error exists. System pass means that hardware
monitored by the PCM is functioning within normal operating limits. When using a generic scan tool, KOEO and KOER self-tests may not be supported.
See the manufacturer's manual for details.
Parameter Identification (PID) Access
The PID mode allows access to certain data values, analog and digital inputs and outputs, calculated values and system status information. This includes
analog and digital signal inputs and outputs along with calculated values and system status. There are 2 types of PID lists available. The first is the
Generic OBD II PID list. This is a standard set of PIDs for all manufacturers which all scan tools musts be able to access. The second is a Mazda specific
list which can be accessed by the IDS or equivalent tester. When accessing any of these PIDs, the values will be continuously updated. For a complete
list of all PIDs.
Freeze Frame PID Data Access Procedure

On-Board Diagnostic Test
Freeze Frame PID Data Access Procedure
1. Carry out the necessary vehicle preparation and visual inspection. Hook-up the IDS or equivalent tester to the vehicle.
2. Connect the IDS or equivalent tester to the vehicle DLC-2 16-pin connector located on the left side of the center console.
3. Record the freeze frame PID data by IDS or equivalent tester.
