Service bulletins for the 2016 Mazda CX-5

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

05-004-18-34662018-05-14. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some vehicles may experience the check engine light and automatic transaxle warning light ON with one or more of these DTCs stored in the TCM memory (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738). P0842:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 1 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on P0847:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 2 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on P0872:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 3 (oil pressure switch A) stuck on P0877:00 - Oil pressure switch No. 4 (oil pressure switch B) stuck on P0780:00 - Gear shifting malfunction P1738:00 Automatic transaxle internal malfunction This is caused by the oil pressure switch A and/or B at the control valve body temporarily or permanently getting stuck due to contamination entering the passage. To correct the problem, some mass production changes have been implemented to reduce contamination and improve the DTC diagnostic logic. NOTE: If the vehicle also has a delayed engagement concern, this TSB is not applicable. Refer to MGSS online for proper diagnosis and repair procedure.
04-003-18-34552018-05-14. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some customers may report a slight clunk/bang/buzz noise or jolt from the front of the vehicle. This concern will most likely occur during the vehicles first forward movement after starting the engine. This is a normal operating noise of the Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS). Do not attempt any repairs. If you encounter a customer complaint for this concern, explain that the noise comes from the ABS/TCS/DSC "Malfunction Detection Function" initial check and that there is no problem. This initial check is a necessary function to ensure the normal operation of the ABS/TCS/DSC system. It occurs when the vehicles first moves forward under the following conditions. NOTE: Some customers may describe that the noise does not occur all the time. It does occur all the time, but the sound is more likely to be heard on a slow start and not on a quick start (quick acceleration) when engine noise is louder.
01-005-18-34152018-05-07. Service bulletin. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. Some vehicles may experience a rough idle with the check engine light on and DTC P0015 / P0524 stored in memory. P0015:00 - Exhaust CMP timing over-retarded P0524:00 - Engine oil pressure too low This is caused by a drop in engine oil pressure due to a piece of foreign object stuck on the oil pump pressure relief valve or oil control valve (OCV). The temporary entry of the foreign object triggers a check engine light on, but rough idle will not be produced until a later time.
01-006-18-34292018-04-23. Service bulletin. ENGINE; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. When the engine is started for the first time after parking the vehicle overnight in cold conditions (below 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius), some vehicles may exhibit a rough idle and/or the check engine light on with any of the following DTC(s) stored in memory. P0300 - Random misfire detected P0301 - Cylinder No.1 misfire detected P0302 - Cylinder No.2 misfire detected P0303 - Cylinder No.3 misfire detected P0304 - Cylinder No.4 misfire detected. This may be caused by frozen water accumulated in the main silencer, restricting exhaust flow.
MT-021-172018-02-26. Service bulletin. ENGINE; EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. Some vehicles may experience the Check Engine Light ON with DTC P0171 (Fuel Trim too Lean) and possibly DTCs P030X (Misfire). Vehicles having this concern should use the following Inspection/Repair procedure.
SSPA62017-11-14. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. On December 5, 2016, Mazda Motor Corporation sent out an email launching a Mazda Diagnostic Reprogramming Tool (MDRT) service loaner program for Special Service Program (SSPA6). The purpose of this email is to inform all Mazda dealerships that the loaner program has been extended for an additional 3 months to improve the completion rate for campaign SSPA6.
01-005-17-33052017-08-10. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. Some vehicles may exhibit oil residue on the engine front cover from seepage around the joint portion (A) between the cylinder block and head. It becomes very noticable with dust adhesion. In some cases, the area of oil residue extends down to around the joint portion (B) between the engine front cover and the oil pan.
01-002-17-3299a2017-08-10. Service bulletin. ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING; ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM. When the engine is started for the first time after parking the vehicle overnight in cold conditions (below 32 degrees Fahrenheit / 0 degrees Celsius), some vehicles may exhibit a rough idle and/or the check engine light on with any of the following DTC(s) stored in memory.?P0300 - Random misfire detected ?P0301 - Cylinder No.1 misfire detected ?P0302 - Cylinder No.2 misfire detected ?P0303 - Cylinder No.3 misfire detected ?P0304 - Cylinder No.4 misfire detected This may be caused by frozen water accumulated in the main silencer, restricting exhaust flow.

SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE WARNING LIGHT ON WITH ONE OR MORE OF THESE DTCS STORED IN THE TCM MEMORY (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738). • P0842:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 1 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH B) STUCK ON • P0847:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 2 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A) STUCK ON • P0872:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 3 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A) STUCK ON • P0877:00 - OIL PRESSURE SWITCH NO. 4 (OIL PRESSURE SWITCH B) STUCK ON • P0780:00 - GEAR SHIFTING MALFUNCTION • P1738:00 AUTOMATIC TRANSAXLE INTERNAL MALFUNCTION THIS IS CAUSED BY THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH A AND/OR B AT THE CONTROL VALVE BODY TEMPORARILY OR PERMANENTLY GETTING STUCK DUE TO CONTAMINATION ENTERING THE PASSAGE. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, SOME MASS PRODUCTION CHANGES HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED TO REDUCE CONTAMINATION AND IMPROVE THE DTC DIAGNOSTIC LOGIC. NOTE: IF THE VEHICLE ALSO HAS A DELAYED ENGAGEMENT CONCERN, THIS TSB IS NOT APPLICABLE. REFER TO MS3 ONLINE INSTRUCTIONS OR WORKSHOP MANUAL FOR PROPER DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR PROCEDURE.
01-014-15-3055A2017-06-08. Service bulletin. ENGINE. FREQUENT ENGINE STARTS UNDER EXTREMELY COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES MAY RESULT IN OIL SEEPAGE FROM THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH. THIS CONCERN MAY BE CAUSED BY A LACK OF DURABILITY OF THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO INCREASE THE DURABILITY IN COLD AMBIENT TEMPERATURES.

01-010-16-31852017-02-28. Service bulletin. ENGINE. SOME VEHICLES MAY EXPERIENCE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH DTC P0421:00 (CATALYTIC CONVERTER SYSTEM) WITH-OUT EXPERIENCING POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE OR MISFIRE (MITSUBISHI PCM ONLY).THIS IS CAUSED BY IMPROPER CONTROL LOGIC OF THE PCM THAT MAY DETECT FALSE ERROR OF THE A/F SENSOR, RESULTING IN FALSE DETECTION OF P0421. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, THE CONTROL LOGIC OF THE PCM HAS BEEN CHANGED.CATALYST MON-ITOR FUNCTION EXPLANATION•THE PCM MONITORS THE OXYGEN STORAGE AMOUNT PROPORTIONAL TO CATALYTIC CONVERTER PURIFICATION CHARACTERISTIC.•THE PCM STARTS TO MONITOR AFTER RECOVERY (FUEL INJECTION STARTS) FROM FUEL CUT CONTROL.•THE PCM TEMPORARILY CHANGES THE TARGET AIR/FUEL RATIO TO RICH AT FUEL CUT RECOVERY, AND DETECTS THE RESPONSE TIME UNTIL THE HO2S OUTPUT SIGNAL OUTPUTS THE VOLTAGE ON THE RICH SIDE. IF THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PURIFICATION CHARACTERISTIC DETERIORATES, THE AMOUNT OF THE TIME UNTIL THE HO2S DETECTS THE VOLTAGE ON THE RICH SIDE IS SHORTER COMPARED TO THE NORMAL PURIFICATION CHARACTERISTIC AS SHOWN. THE PCM DETECTS A CATALYTIC CONVERTER MALFUNCTION USING THIS CHARACTERISTIC.
01-011-16-3139A2017-02-24. Service bulletin. ENGINE. WHEN THE ENGINE IS STARTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT IN COLD CONDITIONS (BELOW 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT / 0 DEGREES CELSIUS), SOME VEHICLES MAY EXHIBIT A ROUGH IDLE AND/OR THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING DTC(S) STORED IN MEMORY.•P0300 - RANDOM MISFIRE DETECTED•P0301 - CYLINDER NO.1 MISFIRE DETECTED•P0302 - CYLINDER NO.2 MISFIRE DETECTED •P0303 - CYLINDER NO.3 MISFIRE DETECTED •P0304 - CYLINDER NO.4 MISFIRE DETECTED THIS MAY BE CAUSED BY FROZEN WATER ACCUMULATED IN THE MAIN SILENCER, RESTRICTING EXHAUST FLOW.
