TPMS WARNING LIGHT ON

2014-2016 MAZDA6 - TPMS WARNING LIGHT ON

BULLETIN NOTE

• This bulletin supersedes the previous bulletin 02-002/15 issued 01/23/2015 and 02-006/14 issued on 12/22/
2014. The APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS, DESCRIPTION, REPAIR PROCEDURE, CALIBRATION INFORMATION and WARRANTY INFORMATION have been revised.
• Changes are noted below in Red beside the change bar.

APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles (except Canada and Mexico) with VINs between JM1 GJ1 ****** 100027-225009
(produced between October 25, 2012 - December 01, 2014)
2016 Mazda6 vehicles with VINs between JM1 GJ1 ****** 400011-412885 (produced between November 24,
2014 - February 11, 2015)

DESCRIPTION
Except Canada and Mexico
After performing recall campaign 8014J, or the vehicle VIN is not applicable to 8014J, some vehicles may experience Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light on even if the TPMS system has been properly
initialized at the specified tire air pressure. This may be caused by improper tire air pressure detection by the
TPMS system on certain types of road surfaces.

Canada and Mexico
Some vehicles may experience Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) warning light on even if the TPMS
system has been properly initialized at the specified tire air pressure.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify that the recall campaign 8014J is closed or not applicable for the vehicle (Except Canada and Mexico).
2. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
3. Using IDS 94.02 or later software, reprogram the ABS module to the latest calibration following the “Module
Reprogramming” procedure.
NOTE: ABS module reprogramming may fail if VCM cable connections are poor and/or battery voltage is
low. For details, refer to “SERVICE CAUTION FOR ABS MODULE REPROGRAMMING”

a. Select “Module Reprogramming”, then select “ABS”.

b. The following screen will be displayed:
Click “YES” and follow the M-MDS instructions to reprogram the ABS module.
If the message “No later calibration is available on the system for this ABS” is displayed, the ABS module
is already at the latest calibration. “Current level in Vehicle” will show the new file name. This service bulletin does not apply.

NOTE: If reprogramming stops before completion, refer to “SERVICE CAUTION FOR ABS MODULE
REPROGRAMMING”

c. After reprogramming, remove the session. Then, open a new session again and go to the “Log Viewer”
screen on which the programmed file name is displayed as shown in figure below. If the new file name
matches the list, the reprogramming has been successfully completed.

NOTE:
•

After reprogramming, communication error related DTCs may be stored. This is a normal operation. Delete these DTCs.

Possible DTCs:
U0155:00-28

EATC - Communication error with instrument cluster

U2300:54-28

EATC - Configuration error (data not received)

U0155:00-08

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MODULE PROGRAMMING
•
•

•
•

•

Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration
file for ABS module reprogramming.
It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during ABS module reprogramming when the IDS
screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the ABS module terminals and
cause the ABS module to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming
procedure.
IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the ABS module.
Please be aware that ABS module 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 an ABS module, 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.
SERVICE CAUTION FOR ABS MODULE REPROGRAMMING

NOTE: Poor connection between the vehicle and M-MDS and/or low voltage may result in abnormal
termination and/or ABS data corruption.
a. Make sure the following connections are secured. Do NOT touch the
VCM and DLC cable. This may cause electrical noise and connection
disruption.
- Between the vehicle-side connector and the DLC cable.
- Between the PC-side connector and USB port of PC.

b. Connect AC adapter to the PC in order to stabilize voltage fluctuation during reprogramming.
Do NOT use vehicle battery outlet as power source for the PC.
c. 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.
Before reprogramming, pay attention to the vehicle condition and PC environment.
a. Turn off all the electrical loads, especially the A/C (blower), audio, rear defogger and headlights.
b. Perform self-test and verify no DTC is stored. If any DTC is stored, fix the concern and delete the DTC.
c. Disconnect all non-genuine aftermarket accessories.
d. Terminate all programs other than IDS on the PC. This may extend reprogramming, PC may freeze or it
may cause other problems.
e. Verify that the latest IDS software is installed on the PC.
f. Perform reprogramming under proper Internet environment. Especially when using wireless network,
make sure the connection is strong.
g. Make sure to keep proper free space on the PC’s hard disc. Insufficient free space (less than 1 GB) may
result in PC freeze during reprogramming.

Trouble Shooting Procedure for ABS Module Reprogramming
Before performing the following trouble shooting procedure, check all VCM cable connections and the battery voltage.

Step

1

Inspection

Will the IG shut off by one-press of
the engine start/stop button?

Action
Yes

Remove the ABS/DSC 30A fuse for 10 seconds.
Install the fuse and go to Step 2.

No

Disconnect the battery negative terminal for 1
minute. Connect the battery terminal and go to
Step 2.

2

Turn IG ON and wait a few seconds. Go to Step 3.

3

Does TSC/DSC indicator light
turn off normally?

4

Is the reprogramming complete?

Yes

Try the reprogramming again. Go to Step 4.

No

Replace the ABS module.

Yes

Troubleshooting is completed.

No

Repeat the inspection from Step 1 again.
- If the reprogramming cannot be completed on the
second round of reprogramming, replace the ABS
module.

4. After performing the ABS module reprogramming procedure, adjust all four tire pressures to the specification and initialize the TPMS using IDS.
NOTE:
•
•

ABS module reprogramming does not reset TPMS misuse prevention history.
DO NOT press the TPMS set switch after ABS module programming. This may cause the vehicle to enter the TPMS misuse prevention mode.

Select the following items from the initial screen of the IDS.
a. Select “Chassis”
b. Select “ABS/DSC”
c. Select “TPMS Reset”
5. Verify the repair by starting the engine and making sure there are no MIL illumination or abnormal warning
lights present.
NOTE: After ABS module reprogramming, it is no longer necessary to road test the vehicle to “relearn”
KAM (Keep Alive Memory).
