Found this video recently and I think it's very useful. I know there is another video about this topic but I believe this one is more in detail, easier to understand. Followed the instructions and it worked! Check it out and leave some impressions!
How to Reset Mazda SkyActiv Transmission - Easy Fix for Bad Shifts!
Instructions from the video:
FULL STEP BY STEP PROCESS:
1. Make sure car is up to normal operating temperature before starting - if it is cold, drive it around until it's up to temperature
2. With car idling in Park, place foot firmly on the brake pedal and keep it there for the entire process - do not let up on it for the entire time
3. Put the car into neutral
4. Turn off the Car
5. Shift the car into Manual (-) and hold it there for 5 seconds
6. After 5 seconds, keep the car in Manual (-) and press the start engine button (car will not start)
7. Put the car into neutral
8. Press the start engine button (it will start this time)
9. Move the shifter to Manual (+) and hold it there for five seconds
10. Move the shifter to Manual (-) and hold it there for five seconds
11. The engine idle should increase and you'll see the gear display show "M". You can then release the shifter but leave it in manual mode
12. Once the idle goes back to normal, the gear display should show "M1". Once this happens, shift the car to park and shut off the engine.
