Place the battery in a pan of the water to prevent it from ,-, over heating, but keep water away from the top of bat- tery. 5. Charge the battery. Replacement Note When replacing the battery, replace it with the same style Mazda genuine battery (with vent manifold). ALTERNATOR Caution Obtain the code number and deactivate the audio anti-theft system before disconnecting the bat- tery. (Refer to section T.) Caution Reversing the battery connections or using high- voltage testers will damage the rectifier. Caution Do not start the engine while the connector is dis- connected from L and S terminals. It can damage the alternator. Note .--,' Positive voltage is always present at alternator B ter- minal. Removal l Installation 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2.

Check alternator Refer to section G. Check wheel-speed sensor Caution To prevent damage to the terminals, create a probe by wrapping a thin wire around the tester lead before inserting. 1. Using an ohmmeter, check for continuity at the control unit connector terminals. 0----0: Indicates continuity Right front Left rear Right rear 2. If the continuity is not as specified, check the wiring har- ness (Wheel-speed sensor - Control unit). 3. If the continuity is OK, check voltage between 1K and 1 G, 10 and 1 Q, 1 U and 1 F, and 1 L and 1 P while rotating the wheel one rotation per second by hand. 4. If voltage is not approximately 50 mV--60 mV, the wheel-speed sensor is faulty. 5. If voltage is approximately 50 mV-60 mV, the control unit is faulty. 1L Check hydraulics Verify that all brake fluid connections are tight and that no fluid is leaking.
