CONSEQUENCE:
A vehicle that is driven with under inflated tires may experience a sudden tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will update the TPMS software, free of charge.
The recall began on December 10, 2014.
Owners may contact Mazda customer service at 1-800-222-5500.
NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Compliance Recall 8014J
Mazda Motor Corporation has decided that certain 2014-2015 Mazda6 vehicles, produced from October 25, 2012 through October 10, 2014, fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems.
Certain Mazda6 vehicles do not comply with the detection requirement specified in the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 138; Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems. The FMVSS No. 138 requires that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) must illuminate a low tire pressure warning telltale within 20 minutes after the inflation pressure in one or more of the vehicle’s tires, up to a total of four tires, is equal to or less than either the pressure 25 percent below the vehicle manufacturer’s recommended cold inflation pressure, or the pressure specified in this standard, whichever is higher. The subject Mazda6 vehicles may not satisfy this detection requirement if the inflation pressure of all four tires simultaneously and gradually drops by 25 percent.
On all subject vehicles, dealers are to reprogram the control software of TPMS within the dynamic stability control (DSC) unit with the modified calibration to satisfy the detection requirement
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by first class mail beginning October 31, 2014.
Dealers should repair any affected vehicles that arrive at their dealerships, whether or not the customer has received a letter.

B. REPAIR PROCEDURE
- Reboot the IDS to clear memory before reprogramming.
- Using IDS 92.04 or later software, reprogram the ABS module to the latest calibration following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.
- Select “Module Reprogramming”, then select “ABS”.
-
- The following screen will be displayed:
Click “YES” and follow the M-MDS instructions to reprogram the ABS module.
If the message “No later calibration is available on the system for this ABS” is displayed, the ABS module is already at the latest calibration. Programming is not needed. Process the Warranty Claim to close the recall, then proceed to C. CAMPAIGN LABEL INSTALLATION.
-
- After reprogramming, remove the session. Then, open a new session again and go to the “Log Viewer” screen on which the programmed file name is displayed as shown in figure. If the last two letters are “70”, the reprogramming has been successfully completed.
NOTE:
- After reprogramming, communication error related DTCs may be stored. This is a normal operation. Delete these DTCs.
Possible DTCs:
| U0155:00-28 | EATC – Communication error with instrument cluster |
| U2300:54-28 | EATC – Configuration error (data not received) |
| U0155:00-08 | R_BCM – Communication error with instrument cluster |
| U0100:00-28 | BSML – Communication error with PCM |
| U0155:00-28 | BSML – Communication error with instrument cluster |
| U0214:00-28 | BSML – Communication error with start stop unit |
| U0100:00-28 | BSMR – Communication error with PCM |
| U0155:00-28 | BSMR – Communication error with instrument cluster |
| U0214:00-28 | BSMR – Communication error with PCM |
| U0316:09-08 | SBS/MRCC – Error signal received from DSC HU/CM |
| C0023:62-08 | ABS – Brake light/Brake switch |
- In some cases, the ABS warning light may illuminate and the engine will not shut off by onepress of the engine start/stop button. To correct this concern, disconnect the ABS/DSC 30A fuse for 10 seconds.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MODULE PROGRAMMING
- Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed calibration file for ABS module reprogramming.
- It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during ABS module reprogramming when the IDS screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the ABS module terminals and cause the ABS module to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS reprogramming procedure.
- IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the ABS module.
- Please be aware that ABS module calibration part numbers and file names listed in any Service Bulletin may change due to future releases of IDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations for service related concerns.
- When reprogramming a ABS module, IDS will always display the “latest” calibration P/N available for that vehicle. If any calibration has been revised/updated to contain new information for a new service concern/issue, it will also contain all previously released calibrations.
- When performing this procedure, we recommend using the “Power Supply” mode in the Battery Management System to keep the vehicle battery up to capacity. If a different charger is used, make sure it does not exceed 20 AMPS. If it exceeds 20 AMPS, it could damage the VCM.
- 3After performing the ABS module reprogramming procedure, verify the repair by starting the engine and making sure there are no MIL illumination or abnormal warning lights present.
NOTE:
- If any DTCs should remain after performing DTC erase, diagnose the DTCs according to the appropriate Troubleshooting section of the Workshop Manual.
- After ABS module reprogramming, it is no longer necessary to road test the vehicle to “relearn” KAM (Keep Alive Memory).
