Correct, if the idle did not go to 1200~ then the process did not happen. The idle comes up so there is sufficient line pressure to cycle all of the clutch sets.
DIY Transmission reset/relearn procedure for 2016 Mazda CX-5

On my 2016.5, the RPMs go up from idle (~800) to about ~1250 or so. That's when the "M" shows up on the dash display. When the display changes back to "M1" the RPMs drop back to idle speed.
Certainly sounds like either a step was missed, or that those specific steps don't exactly match what a 2023 model requires. (I've only tested this particular procedure list on a 2016.5. Uncertain whether it perfectly works on any other vintages, as I haven't tested them.)

everything seemed right except the the rpms not jumping up. the M showed up for short period then went to M1. I will give it another go later today. I attempted it yesterday after a 16 mile drive with one spurt up to 90mph and did a fair amount of manual shifting up and down and keeping the revs up for a few miles, so should have been plenty warmed up..I was using the one thousand one one thousand two method for my timing which actually corresponds really close when I compare that to my stopwatch.

I did the reset yesterday on my 2024 and it worked fine.
Perhaps not quite up to temp, or perhaps shaving the "5 seconds" parts a bit too close. Hard to know. I would bet one or the other of those.
Glad to hear it worked.
Did it just the other day, on my 2016. At least for a couple of weeks it'll be much better-behaved when it comes to listening to throttle tip-in and allowing for faster downshift for modest acceleration. On my CX-5, this is the worst aspect of the learning program: it gets too darned resistant to load and to tip-in, instead being far too tolerant of shuttering along instead of downshifting. This relearn procedure cures that, for awhile.
Oh, if Mazda had made available in the console personalization a couple of adjustments that the driver could determine: load and tip-in, for driving how sensitive the transmission would be for deciding to shift. Ah, well. Can't have everything.

Not sure but the prior day I had been driving around town then did 16 miles on the highway up to 90 mph with plenty of hard accelerations shifting down so it had to be warmed up. maybe my one one thousand count was fast or slow
...I did not tell my wife I did anything and she will be driving it today so be interesting if she notices any difference...I am guessing not as she drives like there is an egg under the gas pedal.Good to hear.
For many, it might seem a subtle difference. For me, it's zapping ~90%+ of the bad learned behavior that affects pedal tip-in and how quickly the gearing drops for improved acceleration. Many might not sense any difference, but to me a sluggish throttle and gearing is one of those things that is clear as a bell when it improves.

yes exactly. I swear it feels more responsive. my wife normally drives the car and she drives very conservatively and apparently her conservative driving style combined with the fact she drives it most days has changed it and my occasional driving is not enoughGood to hear.

. it is one of those things it has probably happened so gradually over the last 3 years and 45000 miles I don't realize how bad it got..I will be resetting it every month or so and certainly before any road trips where I do most of the driving.

to about 1200rpm.
Notice in the video how "M3" is displayed at 2:34
I noticed that when I am attempting to do the reset and I don't see "M3", you may as well just stop right then and there, as it will not work. @sinistriel@ correct me if i'm wrong

yes mine worked finally. not sure why it took about 3X's but it finally reved to 1200. It feels much better. not sure if it is placebo or not but my results are the same as @GFrosty in how it feels. I will be doing it every month or so.

All I notice is that the shifts are a bit more "crisp" or firm initially. Personally. Not much difference.

Are you the only driver? If so i could see that. My wife is the primary driver of ours and i drive considerably more aggressive than she does so it probably adapts more to her style.
