Hey I have a similar problem I'm dealing with: (http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123815829-OBD-non-connection-error/page2) How did this situation get resolved??

Thanks CheeseHelmet for all your help. Its a shame, probably had this problem all along and never knew about it because we've been in FL where the inspection is not required. To answer your questions, I ran the tests initially and came back with some negatives. Went in to eat a sandwich for...

Diagnosis Results (1st Round) Ok here's what we got: DLC PIN #01 > ROOM fuse: GOOD DLC PIN #04 > PCM PIN #13: GOOD DLC PIN #10 > PCM PIN #79: GOOD DLC PIN #12 > PCM PIN #77: GOOD DLC PIN #13 > PCM PIN #77: GOOD New ECU is in order I'm assuming??

Wow thanks again for quick reply. You've made this problem seem very manageable. I'll keep you posted.

Questions about PCM to DLC links thx for that reference DarkAngel. I still don't really know my away around the shop manual. I know it is all there but it is just a massive amount of information, especially for someone with only a little experience. Speaking of inexperienced I want to ask...

Serious buyer in the South Jersey/Philly/Delaware area. I looove my p5, and we are looking to pick up a second car for the wife. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you'd like to unload your p5. Thanks, Mike

Do I need to remove these bolts (yellow arrow) to do what I gotta do? Or am I missing an easier way to do this?

UPDATE: I took the car to AutoZone to see if possible it was a fluke with the OBD reader at the inspection station. AZ couldn't read it either. So this weekend for sure I have a date with a multi-meter. =( I don't need to get it resolved technically until end of June, but I'm eager to see...

Thanks cheesehelmet!! This is why im quickly falling in love with this site. Im going to spend some time on this maybe tomorrow or sunday. One small thing: where is the ecu itself located?

Hahahahah me=dope. Thanks. Fyi im at my parents kitchen table in VA. Not driving and posting. Breathe easy. Im not by any means even a novice wrencher so pardon the following question: will the car run if the ecu is faulty? The ignorant and uninformed (me) would think that the ecu is critical...

Do not read this if u r driving. It can wait. Thanks tho tekk. Let me ask how much the new ecu set u back?

Dark angel, thanks for taking an interest in this case. I just looked under the dash at the obd port. Nothing looked cut or damaged or modified. Any other guesses? I gotta tell you the car is BULLET PROOF. I've had zero problems with it. It runs like a dream. Im on a road trip as we speak. I'm...

Sorry to hear that speedracer. Thats a bum rap. Looked like a good opp to pick up some parts for the car. Hope he plays ball with you.

2003 p5 Just failed NJ inspection because they couldn't establish a connection to my on board diagnostic. I understand it may be impossible to disgnose this without spending some time with the car. A search here at 247 didnt yield any results. I can tell you the cig lighter works fine. The only...

(tried to PM u but didn't seem to go through) I live in South Jersey zip 08085 (across from phila). How much to swipe your best pair of wheels and tires? maybe all four? Include shipping please in your cost b/c I don't think I'll be able to make it up there. Also, how is the exterior window...

Howdy folks, long time watcher, first time poster. Located in Fort Lauderdale, FL. Road debris took out my drivers' side headlight, looking to replace it or the pair if a good deal can be made. I read the stickies, i hope i'm not doing anything wrong on this post!
