Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Auto Leveling Sensor Inspection
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable..
2. Remove the auto leveling sensor..
3. Prepare three dry cell batteries (1.5 V
).
4. Connect the three dry cell batteries in a series.
5. Connect the positive pole of the dry cell battery to auto leveling sensor terminal C, and the negative pole to terminal A.
6. Connect the tester as shown in the figure with approx. 4.5 V
of voltage applied between auto leveling sensor terminals A and C, and measure the voltage at auto leveling sensor terminal B.
7. When slowly moving the auto leveling sensor link up and down, verify that the voltage fluctuates linearly between 0.5—4.5 V
as shown in the figure.
-
If the voltage cannot be verified as indicated in the graph, replace the auto leveling sensor.

Hazardous Driving
WARNING
Be extremely careful if it is necessary to downshift on slippery surfaces: Downshifting
into lower gear while driving on slippery surfaces is dangerous. The sudden change
in tire speed could cause the tires to skid.
This could lead to loss of vehicle control and an accident.
When driv ...
Traction Control System (TCS)
The Traction Control System (TCS) enhances traction and safety by controlling
engine torque and braking.
When the TCS detects driving wheel slippage, it lowers engine torque and operates
the brakes to prevent loss of traction.
This means that on a slick surface, the engine adjusts automaticall ...
Hydraulic Variable Valve Timing Actuator
Purpose, Function
The hydraulic variable valve timing actuator operates according to the hydraulic
pressure and changes the phases of the exhaust camshaft. As a result, the open/close
period of the exhaust valve is changed, optimized valve timing in accordance
with driving conditions ...
