The workshop sections provide repair procedures and system tests; the owner's volume covers everyday operation and care. The repair excerpt adds another service reference, while the separate DTC tables explain code-setting conditions and possible causes for the listed applications.
Coverage follows the individual publications. The two standalone wiring PDFs both contain the same 2007 circuit drawings. Separate navigation-system and rearview-parking-camera operating manuals are referenced by the owner's volume; navigation fault diagnosis is included in the workshop sections.
PDF Search, Bookmarks, and Included Pages
Finding text and reading diagrams: Workshop prose and the owner's main text support searches, but many illustrated component-location pages and wiring labels do not. Embedded PDF bookmarks are provided only in the owner's volume. Small wiring labels need magnification. Both reference excerpts have searchable OCR with recognition errors; “2010.pdf” also contains visibly distorted and partly obscured opening pages.
The ZIP contains 91 printable PDFs totaling 4,339 pages. The total includes six preliminary pages, seven further blank pages, and three memo pages in the owner's volume, plus two additional opening pages in the repair excerpt. Duplicate wiring chapters and repeated fuel-system material are included in the count.
Engine, Driveline, and Vehicle-System Coverage
These selected content highlights outline the main areas rather than reproduce the full contents. Other included topics range from cabin-air-filter replacement to sunroof adjustment and rain-sensor initialization.
-
Engine repair: Step-by-step procedures for engine removal, timing-chain work, cylinder-head gasket replacement, valve-clearance adjustment, and variable-valve-timing actuator service for the applicable engine.
-
Engine diagnostics: DTC inspections, symptom charts, PID/data monitoring, simulation tests, and checks of fuel, ignition, charging, and emission-control systems.
-
Automatic transaxle: AW6A-EL/AW6AX-EL servicing and mechanical tests, with separate AW6A-EL overhaul instructions for internal assemblies and selective-fit parts.
-
Driveline and chassis: AWD coupling work, rear-differential disassembly, drive shafts, wheel bearings, suspension repairs, and power-steering pressure testing.
-
Brakes and restraints: DSC/RSC fault tracing, hydraulic-unit bleeding and sensor initialization, air-bag DTC diagnosis, and passenger-seat weight-sensor calibration.
-
Body and climate systems: Power-liftgate diagnosis, window initialization, lock and security checks, navigation troubleshooting, and service of the front and rear HVAC systems.
-
Owner operation and care: Controls, seating, child restraints, warning indicators, regional maintenance schedules, roadside assistance procedures, and instructions for fitted equipment.
The workshop material suits experienced technicians with the equipment needed for M-MDS diagnostics and component overhaul; the owner's volume is written for vehicle owners seeking operating and routine-care guidance.
MZI Engine Work and Fault Isolation
The mechanical sections distinguish MZI-3.5 from MZI-3.7 procedures. Timing-chain and cylinder-head gasket instructions identify work that requires removing the engine/transaxle assembly. Engine SST references pair Mazda numbers with global equivalents, including crankshaft damper replacer 49 UN01 002 / 303-102.
Fuel-system sections distinguish 2WD and AWD tank layouts and document pressure tests, pump and injector inspections, and quick-release connections. Cooling and lubrication material adds water-pump replacement, thermostat checks, oil-pressure testing, and oil-pump work, supported by tightening specifications and inspection limits.
Stored-code diagnosis is separated from symptom troubleshooting when no DTC is present. M-MDS readings, electrical checks, and symptom charts let a technician relate the complaint to the relevant circuit or component before choosing a repair.
Timing-chain cautions identify crankshaft-rotation errors that can bind the chains and damage the engine.
Transaxle Overhaul, AWD, and Transfer Limits
The transaxle service volume includes line-pressure, stall, and road-test interpretation, solenoid checks, TCM replacement, and neutral-position learning. The AW6A-EL overhaul section extends to the oil pump, planetary assemblies, one-way clutch, and C1/C2/C3 clutch components, with piston-stroke checks and retaining-plate selection.
AWD material includes control-module terminal checks and coupling disassembly. Rear-differential instructions address drive-pinion preload and the collapsible spacer; rear-axle, suspension, and parking-brake procedures distinguish 2WD from AWD arrangements.
Transfer-unit scope: The transfer chapter documents oil-seal replacement and unit removal/installation. It specifies replacement of a malfunctioning transfer as an assembly, rather than internal overhaul, and warns that altering its oil quantity can cause leakage or seizure.
Circuit Drawings, Body Electronics, and HVAC
The standalone drawings include the 3.5L Engine Performance Circuit, Computer Data Lines Circuit, Power Distribution Circuit, Power Liftgate Circuit, and Front Wiper/Washer Circuit, W/ Automatic Wiper. Cooling-fan drawings separate single- and dual-fan configurations. Companion diagnostic diagrams address DSC/RSC, restraints, TPMS, and the power liftgate, while location references identify relays, modules, connectors, and grounds.
Body procedures extend to doors and liftgate hardware, seats, trim, lighting, windows, mirrors, and wipers. Navigation troubleshooting distinguishes display faults, map-disc loading problems, position errors, missing voice guidance, and rear-camera switching faults. HVAC coverage includes both units, actuators, blowers, refrigerant service, and symptom diagnosis.
SRS Components and Occupant Classification
The owner's Supplemental Restraint System Components illustration identifies the driver-seat position sensor, passenger-seat weight sensors and control module, buckle switches, crash and rollover sensors/SAS unit, pretensioners, and front, side, and curtain inflators. Deployment criteria and passenger-classification tables explain restraint readiness alongside the warning lamps and beeps.
Front-seat removal cautions describe the risk of damaging sensors or air-bag connections and causing unintended deployment. Mazda assigns SRS servicing to trained dealer personnel.
Owner Controls, Maintenance, and Roadside Use
Five Vehicle at a Glance illustrations provide Interior Equipment Views A–C and front/rear Exterior Overviews with page references. Seat instructions distinguish manual and powered front seats and both rear rows, with three-point belts, pretensioners/load limiters, and LATCH installation guidance.
Advanced Keyless Entry and Start System: Coverage explains operating range, request switches, auxiliary-key fallback, key suspension, customization, and start-permission conditions. Warning tables distinguish start-knob position, missing or trapped keys, open doors/liftgate, transmitter-battery condition, and system faults; immobilizer and theft-deterrent operation are also addressed.
Driving instructions explain manual transaxle shift mode, AWD, cruise control, TCS, DSC/RSC, TPMS, gauges, and switches. Owner-level warning references interpret brake, charging, check-engine, transaxle, AWD, and SRS indications.
Comfort sections cover front/rear climate controls, audio and AUX functions, Bluetooth hands-free operation, information displays, storage, and accessory power. Rear entertainment coverage pairs error messages with a Symptoms and Actions reference.
Maintenance and specifications: Schedules distinguish the U.S./Canada/Puerto Rico from Mexico and normal from demanding use. The owner's specification tables identify the Duratec 35 DOHC V6 and list electrical, spark-plug, lubricant, capacity, dimension, bulb, tire, and fuse data. Coolant quantities distinguish towing-package configurations; weight ratings separate 2WD and AWD.
Roadside instructions address flat tires, jump-starting, overheating, flooded-engine starting, and emergency towing. Routine-care procedures cover fluids, tires, wipers, batteries, bulbs, fuses, and appearance. The towing cautions identify driveline damage from transporting an AWD vehicle with an axle on the ground and bumper damage from using transport tiedown hooks as tow points.
Examples of Valve-Clearance and Oil-Pressure Data
For both MZI-3.5 and MZI-3.7 engines, the technical-data sections specify cold valve clearances of 0.150–0.250 mm for intake valves and 0.300–0.400 mm for exhaust valves. These figures accompany the separate inspection and tappet-selection procedures.
The same engine-data sections give an oil-pressure reference of 310–621 kPa (45.0–90.0 psi) at 2,000 rpm with the oil at 93.3°C (200°F). This is a condition-specific inspection reference, rather than a pressure range for every operating condition.
