APPLICABLE MODEL(S)NINS
2012-2013 Mazda3 with SKYACTIV 6AT
2014-2016 Mazda3 with SKYACTIV 6AT (Japan built - VINS starting with JM1)
2014-2016 Mazda3 with SKYACTIV 6AT (Mexico built - VINS starting with 3MZ)
2013-2016 CX-5 with SKYACTIV 6AT
2014-2016 Mazda6 with SKYACTIV 6AT

DESCRIPTION
Some vehicles may experience the check engine light and automatic transaxle warning light ON with one or
more of these DTCs stored in the TCM memory (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738).
• P0842:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 1 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on
• P0847:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 2 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on
• P0872:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 3 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on
• P0877:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 4 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on
• P0780:00 - Gear shifting malfunction
• P1738 :00 Automatic transaxle internal malfunction
This is caused by the oil pressure switch A and/or B at the control valve body temporarily or permanently getting
stuck due to contamination entering the passage. To correct the problem, some mass production changes have
been implemented to reduce contamination and improve the OTC diagnostic logic.

NOTE:

If the vehicle also has a delayed engagement concern, this TSB is not applicable. Refer to MS3 on line
instructions or Workshop Manual for proper diagnosis and repair procedure.

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

REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
2. Check for DTCs.
If any of the DTCs (P0842, P084 7, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738) is stored in TCM memory, go to step 3.
If any other DTCs are present or no DTCs are present, perform Workshop Manual troubleshooting.
3. If the vehicle is in the applicable VIN range listed below, proceed to TCM Reprogramming." Otherwise, proceed to "Parts Replacement."
2012-2013 Mazda3 JM1 BL******500001 - 999999
2014-2016 Mazda3 JM1 BM******100001 - 299999 (Japan built)
2014-2016 Mazda3 3MZBM******100001 - 199999 (Mexico built)
2014-2016 Mazda6 JM1 GJ******100001 - 299999 (except Mexico spec)
2013-2016 CX-5 JM3KE******100001 - 599999 (except Mexico spec)

NOTE:
If the concern has occurred with older TCM file, parts replacement is not necessary.
If the concern has occurred with new TCM file, proceed to Parts Replacement.
If the new TCM file for the vehicle is TBD, proceed to Parts Replacement.

TCM Reprogramming
1. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
2. Using IDS 95.04 or later software, reprogram the TCM to the latest calibration (refer to "Calibration Information" table) by following the "Module Reprogramming" procedure.

NOTE:
Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration file for TCM reprogramming.
It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during TCM reprogramming when the IDS
screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the TCM terminals and
cause the TCM to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure.
IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the TCM.
Please be aware that TCM 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 TCM, 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.
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 TCM reprogramming procedure, verify the repair by starting the engine and making
sure there is no Check Engine Light or abnormal warning lights present.

NOTE:
If any DTCs should remain after performing OTC erase, diagnose the DTCs using MS3 online
instructions or Workshop Manual section 01-02.
After TCM reprogramming, it is no longer necessary to road test the vehicle to "relearn" KAM
(Keep Alive Memory).
4. Perform "Initial Learning" according to the instructions on MS3 on line or the Workshop Manual (section 0517 INITIAL LEARNING [FW6AEL, FWAX-EL])
