Thank you that's good to know! 👍
The only 4WD related sensor I found in the Car Scanner Pro app is the coupling solenoid duty cycle with a % value. It was fluctuating between 1% and 14% for the most part of my 2-hr drive this morning. It never showed a steady value. 🤦
Some battery chargers detect the voltage on the receiving end and would decline to charge if too low. The one I have has a button that you can press to charge the battery no matter what. It may take awhile, but it can bring the voltage back up to 12v.
Also, I just pressed the lock button on my...

It will cost me to just have everything checked again (last time was June 25). 😅 Then I still need to order the parts and book the lift. I really don't want to get in there, but if I have to, hopefully just once.

Less than a year ago I was very motivated to refresh fluids and replace worn parts. Somehow I...
I was curious and kept reading. He owns or runs a shop in the gold country part of northern California and claims to be an authorized independent "warranty" service technician. I thought warranty service is available only through dealerships? Anyway, I would understand God complex from...

Not sure when it was fixed. 🤩
Last year I reached out to Mazda USA about this and was told to contact Mazda Japan. I wasn't able to structure legit contact info that is required to submit an inquiry there.
Cut open the Bosch filter (large) today along with a Pentius (small) from the CX-3. The Bosch filter was on for two years and worked for maybe 500 miles. Nothing alarming that I can tell. It was almost too wide for the baby visegrip mounted to the bench on my patio.
