Coil Resistance Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..
2. Remove the plug hole plate..
3. Disconnect the OCV connector.
4. Measure the resistance between terminals A and B using an ohmmeter.
6.9—7.5 ohms [20°C {68°F}]
If not as specified, replace the OCV..
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.
Spool Valve Operation Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..
2. Remove the OCV..
3. Verify that the spool valve in the OCV is in the maximum valve timing advance position as indicated in the figure.
If not as specified, replace the OCV..
4. Verify that the battery is fully charged..
If not as specified, recharge the battery..
NOTE:
When applying battery positive voltage between the OCV terminals, the connection can be either of the following:
Positive battery cable to terminal A, negative battery cable to terminal B
Positive battery cable to terminal B, negative battery cable to terminal A
5. Apply battery positive voltage between the OCV terminals and verify that the spool valve operates and moves to the maximum valve timing retard position.
If not as specified, replace the OCV..
6. Stop applying battery positive voltage and verify that the spool valve returns to the maximum valve timing advance position.
If not as specified, replace the OCV..
7. Install the OCV..
On/Off Solenoid [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The on/off solenoid performs switching of the shift valve in the control
valve body according to the vehicle conditions.
Construction

Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing Actuator
Purpose, Function
The hydraulic variable valve timing actuator operates according to the hydraulic
pressure and changes the phases of the exhaust camshaft. As a result, the open/close
period of the exhaust valve is changed, optimized valve timing in accordance
with driving conditions ...
Instrumentation/Driver Info. Personalization
A personalization function has been adopted which enables the instrument
cluster settings to be changed.
The Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) is required to perform the setting.
Refer to the Workshop Manual for the detailed setting procedure.
