ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM [ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS)]

OUTLINE

The on-board diagnostic system consists of a malfunction detection system that detects abnormalities in input/output signals when the ignition is switched ON position, a data monitor function that reads out specified input/output signals.

The data link connector 2 (DLC-2), which groups together all the connectors used for malfunction diagnosis into a single location, has been adopted, thereby improving serviceability. Diagnosis is performed by connecting the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) to the DLC-2.

In addition to DTC read-out, the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) is used to clear DTCs using the display screen of the diagnostic tester, and to access the PID/data monitor, providing enhanced malfunction diagnosis and improved serviceability.

FUNCTION

Malfunction Detection Function

The malfunction detection function detects malfunctions in the input/output signal system of the EPS control module when the ignition is switched ON or driving the vehicle.

Malfunction Display Function

When the malfunction detection function detects a malfunction, the power steering malfunction indicator light illuminates or flashes to advise the driver. Using the external tester communication function, DTCs can be output to the DLC-2 via the CAN line. At the same time, malfunction detection results are sent to the memory and fail-safe functions.

The power steering malfunction indicator light may not illuminate depending on the detected malfunction.

Memory Function

The memory function stores DTCs of malfunctions in input/output signal systems. With this function, once a DTC is stored it is not cleared after the ignition switch is switched off, even if the malfunctioning signal system has returned to normal.

Since the EPS control module has a built-in non-volatile memory, DTCs are not cleared even if the battery is removed. Therefore, it is necessary to clear the memory after performing repairs. Refer to the Workshop Manual for the DTC clearing procedure.

Status Byte for DTC

The status byte is the two-digit code (two digits after hyphen (-)) after the DTC.

The status byte is a code which indicates the pending code, current/past malfunction status, or warning illumination status.

The status byte can be read by performing a CMDTC self test using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).

For details on the status byte, refer to the explanation on the M-MDS when reading the DTC.

DTC 7-digit code definition

When related systems or components have failed, the CM stores the DTC of the malfunctioning part in the CM memory, and allows for the retrieval of the stored data using the scanning tool when necessary. The DTCs are indicated using seven digits. Each digit indicates the following.

Fail-safe Function

When the malfunction detection function determines a malfunction, the power steering malfunction indicator light illuminates to advise the driver. At this time, the fail-safe function disables system control or gradually reduces the assist power.

External Tester Communication Function

Outline

The external tester communication function enables communication of diagnostic data (DTC read-outs, input/output signal read-outs) between the EPS control module (CM) and an external tester.

Connections/Communication contents

Serial communication

Serial communication (two-way communication) allows for multiple data to be sent and received instantly along the same line.

By connecting the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) to the DLC-2, diagnostic data can be sent and received between the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS) and the EPS CM via CAN lines.

The EPS CM receives the command signals of the malfunction detection function and PID/data monitor function from the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS), and sends DTCs and data regarding the operating status of each input/output part to the Mazda modular diagnostic system (M-MDS).


Diagnostic function name	Signal received	Signal sent

PID/DATA monitor function	Command signal to read selected monitor item	Monitored data for requested monitor item

DLC-2 Construction

A connector (DLC-2) conforming to International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards has been added.

Shape and terminal arrangement as stipulated by the ISO 15031-3 (SAE J1962) international standard has been adopted for this connector. The connector has a 16-pin construction that includes the CAN_H (HS), CAN_L (HS), CAN_H (MS), CAN_L (MS), GND1, GND2 and B+ terminals.
