Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Torque Converter [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
-
By use of an optimized torus shape (wing) matching the output characteristics of the engine, the torque converter achieves efficient force transmission and reduced fuel consumption.
Construction/Operation
-
A three-member, single-stage two-phase type torque converter with a torque converter clutch (TCC) mechanism has been adopted.
-
Three-member: Indicates that the torque converter consists of a pump impeller, turbine runner, and stator.
-
Single stage: Indicates the number of turbine runners.
-
Two-phase: Indicates that there are two conditions; torque converter range and fluid coupling range.
TCC mechanism
-
A TCC piston built into the torque converter operates during TCC control. When hydraulic pressure is applied to the TCC piston, the TCC clutch engages to mechanically connect the pump impeller to the turbine runner. The TCC mechanism achieves excellent fuel economy as a result of no loss in drive force transmission due to torque converter slippage. In addition, precise hydraulic control is made possible by a multi-plate clutch equipped with an independent piston housing. With the adoption of this mechanism, the achievable range of TCC control has widened dramatically.

Oil Pump [Fw6 A EL, Fw6 Ax EL]
Purpose/Function
The oil pump generates hydraulic pressure in the oil line of the automatic
transaxle together with supplying lubrication to powertrain related parts.
Construction
The oil pump has adopted a gear type with built-in outer and inner rotors.
The inner roto ...
Filament Repair
1. Clean the filament using isopropyl alcohol.
2. Attach tape to both sides of the filament.
3. Using a small brush or marking pen, apply silver paint.
4. After 2—3 min, carefully remove the tape without damaging the applied
area.
CAUTION:
Do not operate the rear window defro ...
Rear Body Control Module (Rbcm) Configuration (Using Read/Write Function)
NOTE:
When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the vehicle specification
information from the rear body control module (RBCM) before replacing it. Connect
the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing
the rear body control module (RBCM). T ...
