I dont know why it did what it did because they seem unrelated and the car showed no symptoms of anything wrong except the warning lights, but here is the other thread that helped me solve my problem. https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123856637-TCS-light-and-TPMS-light-coming-on!!!!

I had this problem too, ABS and Traction control lights coming on randomly. Eventually the check engine light came on too. I was able to get codes pulled from an auto parts store. I had about 5 codes. And with help from another member that had this problem and took the car in for service. Their...

I have not ruled it out. By what it is doing it seems unlikely. The guy that owns the car works a lot and its hard to get the car to my place to start on it. After telling him what I found out. He said when he hit the dip, he did apply the brakes and the ABS kicked in. Then immediately had the...

So to be sure, This is the part I am looking at. I'm in San Antonio now. Looks like the wrecking yards want about $150. http://www.newautoparts.com/mazda/5/c2y6437azb/2006-year/sport-trim/2-3l-l4-gas-engine/brakes-cat/anti-lock-brakes-scat/?part_name=abs-control-unit I just checked LKQ in...

So if I am testing for pressure from the ABS pump to each wheel. Is that done with the car running?

Thanks for all the replies. I will try the bleeding, but maybe hold off on the master cylinder, and look into the abs pump. Just seems if it was the master cylinder, the pedal would keep going to the floor. edit. after some research, looks like the ABS will cause this with a stuck valve. Some...

A friend has a 2006 mazda 5. He was driving and hit a dip in the road. Now the brake pedal is very mushy. The pedal sinks almost like a bad master cylinder. But still stops just over halfway down. He says he now hears a hissing sound when pressing the brakes. I think that is just the vacuum for...

Thats how I would handle it in this situation. The hill assist is full on, then full off with a snap. With the parking brake, as you said, you can ease off as needed. When I am lazy I will let the hill assist do what it wants. I really don't think the 2.0 with a manual is underpowered. No its...

I dont know what mazda used initially. But after having problems with my 1990 mazda 626 brakes when using parts store pads. I switched to Mazda Value line pads. The quality is very good, and I never had any issue like the after market pads. The after market would always warp rotors in less than...

I rotated my tires yesterday. Checked the rear pads in the process. I replaced my first set at 35,000 miles. I now have 20,000 on the replacement pads. The replacement which are Mazda pads are wearing much better than the first set. My guess is I will get at least 50,000 miles on these pads. The...

I am glad mine dont come on. To many times I'm in a parking lot and stop because I think someone is about to pull out. I think the worst is the GM cars that turn on the rear back up light. Back up lights come on, I stop because I dont want to get hit. After a minute I realize nobody will be...

I got 45 mpg from Galveston to Houston on one trip, About 60 to 65 mph. Another round trip from Houston to San Antonio netted about the same. It was summer trips, so as someone mentioned winter blends are worse on mileage, which I never knew before because it never seemed to affect the 626. I...

It wasn't windy the days I traveled. I really can't complain because it was still at the Mazda mileage rating. I have just been so used to exceeding that rating in the summer when I at least got 43 to 46 mpg. I drove my old 626 for 25 years and 360,000 miles. I never touched the fuel injection...

Just took another round trip from Houston to San Antonio. The drop in gas mileage is significant from summer to winter for my CX-5. Last summer I was getting in the 40's. If I remember right it was 43 to 45 mpg. This time my trip to San Antonio averaged 37 mpg. The return trip I got 34 mpg...

Not a radar detector, But I like using Waze gps. It always warns me of police ahead. Not sure how this would work on trips though when you might loose a connection.

Good find on the Racing beat. I will be looking at getting one soon. I remember back in 2001 when Mazda came out with the protege MP3. It really transformed car.

I will be sorry to see the 2.0 with manual leave. Although my car does not feel fast, with the 6 speed the engine always feels willing. I like it because of the great gas mileage. Your car heater controls looks like an upgrade from the 2013 sport. Wonder if I can swap mine out.
