Check Engine Light 07 mazda 3
Check Engine Light came on - local parts store checked the code.
2 possible problems - Coolant low Defective Engine Temp Sensor I added more coolant - didn't think it was low but added some...not more than a cup. 56,000 miles Any suggestions - local dealership sucks Any suggestions? Thinking about taking it and have diagnostics run just to make sure that the sensor isn't bad.... Thanks for the help! |
My CEL came on so I took it to Advanced Auto Part where they hooked up the hand-held computer. They said is was the braking system. That's when I noticed a burnt out 3rd brake light.
Replaced the light, then all the brake lights quit working. I took them out and they checked good. A back to Advanced where the guy said the brake switch is probably bad, so I replaced the brake switch. Now the problem is intermittent. Sometimes the brake lights work, other times they don't. Regular lights and turning signals work fine. I'm thinking there's a relay between my brake switch and brake lights somewhere, that's sticking or has an intermittent short. Anyone know where I can get a wiring diagram for a 2006 Mazda 3, 5 door hatchback? I've searched online, but most website take you to a sea of Google ads, with no mention the actual Mazda 3 wiring diagrams. |

You can get a scan tool for under $100, and then you can see the code for yourself - and get what they call freeze frame data - which is the data that's live on the car communication bus. That would let you check if it's a bad temp sensor (if it reads way off from outside temp after sitting overnight). It will also show you a lot of other data on the car that you may find interesting or useful for future issues. |
