Mazda MAZDA HIGH IDLE

Some 2007-2009 B2300 49 State/Federal Specif cation vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions may exhibit higher than expected engine idle speeds of 1,500- 2,400 rpm at cold start up. A new powertrain control module (PCM) calibration has been developed to correct this condition.

Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

Repair procedure

1. Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming. 2. Using IDS 61.17 or higher or 62.05 or higher software, reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration (refer to “Calibration Information” table) by following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.

This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2009.7 DVD.

NOTE: • This bulletin does not apply to California spec vehicles. • Always update the IDS tool f rst, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration f le for PCM reprogramming. • It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during PCM reprogramming when the IDS screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the PCM terminals and cause the PCM to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure. • IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the PCM. • Please be aware that PCM calibration part numbers and f le names listed in any Service Bulletin may change due to future releases of IDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations for service-related concerns. • When reprogramming a PCM, IDS will always display the “latest” calibration P/N available for that vehicle. If any calibration has been revised/updated to contain new information for a new service concern/issue, it will also contain all previously released calibrations.

When performing this procedure, we recommend that a battery charger be installed on the vehicle battery and turned ON to a maximum charge of no more than 20 amps to keep the vehicle battery up to capacity. If you exceed 20 amps, it could damage the VCM.

USB STATIC

Subject: Static Noise When Using USB Port Models: 2010 – 2011 Buick LaCrosse 2010 – 2011 Cadillac SRX 2010 – 2011 Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox 2010 – 2011 GMC Terrain 2010 – 2011 Opel Insignia 2011 – Buick Regal 2011 – Chevrolet Cruze, Malibu

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this TSB.

Condition/concern:

A customer may comment of static noise heard when using the USB port to play audio from a portable device

Recommendation/instructions:

Important: For iPhones and iTouch devices f rst attempt to perform a reset of the device by selecting: Settings>General>Reset>Reset All settings.

Verify that song data/information is still

displayed (song track, title, artist, genre, etc.) when playing audio through the USB port. Then disconnect the USB cable and connect the 3.5 mm jack.

Verify that a portable device can play audio correctly through the 3.5 mm input jack. If the vehicle displays song data when playing audio through the USB port and has clear audio when playing through the 3.5 mm jack, replace the MPIM following published repair procedures.

Follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.

Volkswagen BUG HAS A MIL

This TSB applies to 2007-2008 VW Beetle repair as necessary, see ElsaWeb.

vehicles equipped with the 2.5L engine. A DTC P3047 may be displayed for a MIL ON condition. This DTC indicates activation test plan for DTC P3047. Test procedure should be performed with Digital Oscilloscope (DSO) after relay – J434 –, which is located in the 13 position of the auxiliary relay panel, above the relay panel (reference stamping 465). Use the DSO to verify the correct delay time (210ms-300ms).

P3047 fault occurs at less than 180ms or greater than 1,000ms.

TIP: DTC P3047 “Activation Starter Relay 2 Short to B+ CAN” is displayed on VAS 5051/5052 scan tool or other enhanced scan tools.

NOTE: DO NOT replace the Engine Control Module (ECM) – J220 – for this concern.

Once the concern has been identif ed, Starter Relay 2 Short to B+.

Loose or poor connections may illuminate the MIL. Inspect the ECM – J220 – at the T121/30 pin location.

Relay – J434 – is located in the auxiliary relay panel, stamped “465.”

When the ECM identif es a signal difference on the starter circuit outside monitored parameters, (i.e., too slow or too fast), the MIL will illuminate and DTC P3047 Activation

Starter Relay 2 Short to B+ will be stored in Engine Control Module (ECM) – J220 – fault memory. The monitored signal for the starter is supplied to the ECM at the T121/30.

Currently there is no Guided Fault Finding
