Attention All Mazda Dealers. Please read the Dealer Email
Announcement below before performing repairs. The repair
procedure is available and repairs can begin immediately on all
vehicles at your dealer or arriving through the service drive.
SSPD1 - 2024 CX-90 (All) - i-ACTIVSENSE System Warning Concern: On
certain CX-90 vehicles, due to inappropriate control program of side radar
sensor, the angle correction value of electric wave emitted from the sensor may
be lost while the power is shut down, which may cause the SBS OFF indication
and i-ACTIVSENSE warning light to turn on. There are 8,041 vehicles in the
campaign.

Section B : Repair Procedure Recall 6223J
Service caution during reprogramming for ECU(s)

During reprogramming, connect battery charger to the
vehicle to stabilize voltage fluctuation. If missing, it may
cause damage to ECUs due to decreasing voltage.
7th generation vehicle will control to turn on headlight forcibly during
reprogramming due to change CAN communication. Please use the
“Reflash” setting in the charger, which will keep the voltage stable.

NOTE:
1. Make sure that HV charging cable is not connected to HV battery charging port.
2. Recall 6223J applies to vehicles with a Rear View (one camera) or a 360 Degree Camera
(four cameras) with a VMC – View Monitor Control Module - NOT VCM!

Vehicle Identification
Connect MDARS with the DLC cable and VCM-Ⅱ to the vehicle, then set the ignition to the ON
position.
CAUTION: DO NOT UDPATE THE VCM – Vehicle Control Module. Connect the DLC cable and
the VCM-Ⅱ to the vehicle with the ignition OFF. The CAN bus line might detect some noise and it
might cause a diagnostic error when connecting the DLC cable with the ignition ON.
