Grounding Cylinder Head Test Results (2024 CX-5 Turbo)

TB is throttle body. That I do know. 😁
By the adaptive, I wonder if he meant the whole suite of adaptive features such as adaptive cruise control and etc, everything that learns from how one drives and tries to help make it safer. There must be an option to reset those features. I only have blind spot monitoring. 🤷
 
What do you call "the adaptive"? And what is TB? Sorry for asking, I am not a big fan of acronyms.
TB = Throttle Body
The computer monitors your driving through a number of sensors and adjusts or adapts various controls based upon your habits - like transmission shifting and throttle response. The adaptive learning can be reset to default and started over. This can be useful (or even essential) if you change something that affects the learned behavior model. If the vehicle starts to act up in some way, resetting can sonetimes fix odd behaviors.
 
In my LSX days we referred to open loop and closed loop modes. Open loop tuning means the PCM ignores O2 sensors, using MAP/IAT/ECT for fuel (cold starts, WOT/boost); while closed loop uses O2 sensor feedback to adjust fuel trims (STFT/LTFT) for precise Air/Fuel Ratios (AFR) during normal driving (idle, cruise).

"Adaptive" could refer to one of these. I am unsure if that is actual Mazda terminology.
 
Will read the revised #63 in a bit. Found a few things in my tool box so tried this for now. Is it ok to use the same point to ground different wires? I wasn't sure because the other strut tower bracket offers multiple holes.
Yes, you can use the same place on the body to attach the ground cable.

Our transmission have a learning, adaptive, feature. It learns based on the power level and driving style.

hello-wow... i don't understand much of what you posted but my question is-Would you know how to disable cylinder deactivation on 24 na cx-5,thank you
I'm not a tuner. On Domestics, we turned off cylinder deactivation on Dodge and GM products using HP Tuners software. We also removed the cylinder deactivation lifters and replaced with standard lifters. Then we can run the engines a higher RPM.

On engines with Variable Valve Timing, we lock out this feature when changing camshafts. This way we can run a much larger, aggressive, camshaft and not crash the valves into the pistons.

I usually work with an experienced tuner to get a base tune on my drag car and do fine tuning at the track. This year, we have two tuners who want to be part of our program. That will help take a load off of me...

We don't have HPT for our Mazda. I've been logging and downloading CX 5 ECU tunes using Mazda Edit software.

I suggest you talk with someone like DRTuned with your request. It might be as simple as checking a box in the software. At least that is how easy it is on Domestics..

I added one today from the 5th bolt on the TB (that secures a bracket for the rad hose) to the driver side chassis. This looks wrong, I know. 😂
