Remarks:
•The ignition and fuel systems are highly important to the emission control system and to efficient engine operation. All
inspections and adjustments must be made by an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
•After the prescribed period, continue to follow the described maintenance at the recommended intervals.
•Refer below for a description of items marked* in the maintenance chart.
*1: If the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, change the engine oil and oil filter more often than
recommended intervals.
a. Driving in dusty conditions.
b. Extended periods of idling or low speed operation.
c. Driving for long period in cold temperatures or driving regularly at short distance only.
*2: Also inspect and adjust the power steering and air conditioner drive belts, if installed.
*3: If the brakes are used extensively (for example, continuous hard driving or mountain driving) or if the vehicle is
operated in extremely humid climates, change the brake fluid annually.
*4: If the vehicle is operated in very dusty or sandy areas, clean and if necessary, replace the air cleaner element more
often than the recommended intervals.
*5: This is a full function check of electrical systems such as lights, wiper and washer systems (including wiper blades),
and power windows.
*6: If the vehicle is operated under any of the following conditions, change the rear differential oil
every 45,000 km (27,000 miles).
a. Towing a trailer or using a car - top carrier
b. Driving in dusty, sandy or wet condition
c. Extended periods of idling or low speed operation
d. Repeated short trips of less than 16 km (10 miles)
*7: If this component has been submerged in water, the oil should be changed.

NO.21 ENGINE NOISEA6E408018881223
Diagnostic Procedure
21 ENGINE NOISE
DESCRIPTION•Engine noise under hood.
POSSIBLE
CAUSE•Engine internal damage
•Timing belt displacement
•Fuel injector malfunction
•Loose attaching bolts or worn parts
•Improper drive belt tension
•Air leakage from intake-air system
•Incorrect injection timing
•Erratic signal from CKP sensor
•Erratic signal from CMP sensor
•Fuel pressure sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Boost sensor or related circuit malfunction
•Accelerator position sensor or related circuit malfunction
•MAF/IAT sensor or related circuit malfunction
•ECT sensor or related circuit malfunction
•EGR system or malfunction
•IAT sensor No.2 or related circuit malfunction
•Vacuum leakage
•Suction control valve malfunction (built-in supply pump)
•Air leakage from intake-air system
•Air in power steering fluid line
•Turbocharger operating noise
•Solenoid valve operating noise
Warning
The following troubleshooting flow chart contains the fuel system diagnosis and repair
procedures. Read the following warnings before performing the fuel system services:
•Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep
sparks and flames away from fuel.
•Fuel line spills and leakage are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injury or death
and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete “BEFORE
REPAIR PROCEDURE” and “AFTER REPAIR PROCEDURE” described in this manual.
Note
•PCM checks fuel injection amount during a set interval while idling, and automatically corrects it to
maintain engine efficiency. It is normal that engine noise and vibration might be a little louder during
this process.
STEP INSPECTION RESULTS ACTION
1 Is squeal, click or chirp sound present? Yes Inspect engine oil level, solenoid valves installation or
drive belt.
No Go to next step.
2 Is rumble or grind sound present? Yes Inspect drive belt tension or power steering system
fluid level.
If okay, perform power steering fluid line air bleed.
No Go to next step.
3 Is rattle sound present? Yes Inspect location of rattle for loose parts.
No Go to next step.
4 Is hiss sound present? Yes Inspect for vacuum leakage and intake-air system
leakage.
No Go to next step.
5 Is rap or roar sound present? Yes Inspect exhaust system or loose parts.
