DSC Control Inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Perform "Preparation".
Connect the M-MDS to the DLC-2.

Set up an active command mode inspection according to the combination of commands below.

CAUTION:

To protect the DSC HU/CM, the solenoid valve and the pump motor used during active command mode stay on for only 10 sec. or less each time they are switched on.
