Purpose
The instrument cluster operation record stores the record of the illumination or flashing of the warning light.
Function
The operation record is stored by the instrument cluster and displayed using the Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).
The instrument cluster stores the following when any of the warning lights illuminates or flashes.
Time and date
Control module which sent warning light illumination/flash request
Battery voltage
Construction
Based on the stored record, the instrument cluster displays the following operation record on the M-MDS screen.

Operation
