2006-2007 MAZDA3 (EXCEPT CA SPEC & MAZDASPEED3) - ENGINE STALL AND HESITATION AFTER START-UP UNDER HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS

2006-2007 Mazda3 (except CA spec and Mazdaspeed3) vehicles with VINs lower than JM1BK**** ** 696694 (produced before January 1, 2007)

DESCRIPTION

Some vehicles may experience the following symptoms due to improper PCM software:

1. The engine stalls when depressing the accelerator pedal slightly, then releasing it with the A/C on.
2. The engine hesitates when doing a quick take-off after start-up with a high ambient temperature.

Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
2. Using IDS 46.6 or later software, reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration (refer to “Calibration Information” table) by following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.

NOTE:

3. After performing the PCM reprogramming procedure, verify the repair by starting the engine and making sure there are no MIL illumination or abnormal warning lights present.

NOTE:

4. Fill out an “Authorized Modifications” label (P/N 9999-95-AMDC-97) with the new PCM calibration information, your dealer code, and today's date.

5. Place the “Authorized Modifications” label on the “A” pillar below the tear tag in the driver door jamb. The “Authorized Modification” label will inform technicians of the PCM calibration change if future repairs are necessary.
