Summary
SOME VEHICLES USING AN AUXILIARY HEATER (BLOCK HEATER) MAY EXPERIENCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH DTC P0116:00 OR P011A WHEN STARTING IN COLD WEATHER BELOW 32 F (0 C). P0116:00: ECT SENSOR NO.1 CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE PROBLEM P011A:00: ECT SENSOR NO.1/NO.2 PERFORMANCE PROBLEM. THIS IS CAUSED BY ERROR DETECTION LOGIC OF THE PCM. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE CONTROL LOGIC OF THE PCM HAS BEEN CHANGED.

DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles using an auxiliary heater (block heater) may experience the check engine light on with DTC
P0116:00 or P011A when starting in cold weather below 32 °F (0 °C).
• P0116:00: ECT sensor No.1 circuit range/performance problem
• P011A:00: ECT sensor No.1/No.2 performance problem
This is caused by error detection logic of the PCM. To correct the problem, the control logic of the PCM has
been changed.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

customers should contact their nearest authorized Mazda dealership. Mazda North American Operations reserves the right to alter the specifications and

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Check the ECT sensors and wiring/connections according to the instructions on MS3 online or in the Workshop Manual.
• If a problem is found, this Service Information is not applicable.
• If no problem is found, proceed to the next step.
2. Using IDS 96.01 or later software, reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration (refer to “Calibration Information” table) by following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.
NOTE:
•
•
•
•
Verify the current PCM file name in the vehicle by the log view screen. If it is the same as found
in the chart below (or later), it is not necessary to reprogram the PCM.
Always update the IDS tool first, then follow the on-screen instructions to download the calibration file for PCM reprogramming.
Refer to “Service Caution for reprogramming” on MS3 IDS Page.
After reprogramming, verify the file name matches with the chart below.
NOTE:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration file for PCM reprogramming.
It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during PCM reprogramming when the IDS
screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the PCM terminals and
cause the PCM to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure.
IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the PCM.
Please be aware that PCM calibration part numbers and file names listed in any Service Bulletin
may change due to future releases of IDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations for service related concerns.
When reprogramming a PCM, IDS will always display the “latest” calibration P/N available for
that vehicle. If any calibration has been revised/updated to contain new information for a new
service concern/issue, it will also contain all previously released calibrations.
Start/Stop button vehicles only: DO NOT press the start/stop button during the reprogramming process.
When performing this procedure, we recommend using the “Power Supply” mode in the
Battery Management System to keep the vehicle battery up to capacity. If a different
charger is used, make sure it does not exceed 20 AMPS. If it exceeds 20 AMPS, it could
damage the VCM.
3. After performing the PCM reprogramming procedure, clear DTCs.
4. After clearing DTCs, start the engine and confirm that no warning lights stay on.
NOTE:
•
•
If any DTCs should remain after performing DTC erase, diagnose the DTCs using MS3 online
instructions or Workshop Manual section 01-02.
After PCM reprogramming, it is no longer necessary to road test the vehicle to “relearn” KAM
(Keep Alive Memory).
