2004 – 2006 MAZDA3 DESCRIPTION There have been a variety of electrical problems reported where the root cause may be a poorly secured connector, unsecured wire, or bent terminal or pin to the PJB. Many of these problems have occurred after the PJB was removed and reinstalled, as is done for the HVAC diffuser plate or in-cabin filter installation. Examples of these problems include the following: While performing diagnostics, there is no communication with the PJB Door Ajar Light remains on with all of the doors closed Dome light remains on with doors closed or it is inoperative Fog Lights are inoperative A/C not cooling and compressor is inoperative Power door locks are inoperative Turn signals or hazards are inoperative Brake or ABS light remains on with no system problems found Dimmer switch is inoperative Keyless entry is inoperative (with ignition key reminder NOT on with key removed from the ignition). If a vehicle is presenting electrical problems and during diagnosis there are symptoms present that lead you to suspect a poor connection between a wiring harness connector and the PJB, inspect each harness connector and mating terminal on the PJB to determine if they have a proper connection by performing the inspection procedure below. INSPECTION PROCEDURE 1. Record all DTC(s) if any are present. 2. Record all preset radio stations.NOTE: Perform steps 4 and 5 for each of the connectors to the PJB (J-01 – J-06), one at a time, before moving onto step 6.

One of the causes of repeat A/T failures is an internal automatic transmission fluid (ATF) restriction at the inlet side of the oil cooler. This restriction is usually caused by an accumulation of metal particles and debris (from a previous A/T failure) on the internal mesh type baffle of the oil cooler. Power flush- ing will remove the restriction by back flushing the cooler/lines followed by forward flushing. This will in turn ensure full ATF flow for the transmission when it is operating.NOTE: Repeat repairs caused by improper or lack of cooler line flushing will not be covered under warranty, and are subject to review and debit by Mazda Recommended Power Flushing Equipment
