CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND A/T WARNING LIGHT ON WITH ONE
OR MORE OF THESE DTCS
(P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738) STORED IN TCM Last Issued: 04/16/2018
MEMORY
BULLETIN NOTES
This bulletin supersedes the previously issued bulletin(s) listed below. The changes are noted below in Red.
APPLICABLE MODEL(S)/VINS
DESCRIPTION
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).
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.

equipment and take training to correctly and safely maintain Mazda vehicles. These instructions should not be performed by “do-it-yourselfers.” Customers
should not assume this bulletin applies to their vehicle or that their vehicle will develop the described concern. To determine if the information applies,
customers should contact their nearest authorized Mazda dealership. Mazda North American Operations reserves the right to alter the specifications and

writing.
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.
Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify customer concern.
If any of the DTCs (P0842, P0847, P0872, P0877, P0780, P1738) is stored in TCM
memory, go to step 3.
If any other DTCs are present or no DTCs are present, perform troubleshooting according
to MGSS online.
3. If the vehicle is in the applicable VIN range listed below, proceed to TCM Reprogramming.”
Otherwise, proceed to “Parts Replacement.”
NOTE:
If the concern has occurred with older TCM file, parts replacement is not necessary.
If the concern has occurred with new TCM file, proceed to Parts Replacement.
TCM Reprogramming
2. Using IDS 100.5 or later software, reprogram the TCM to the latest calibration (refer to “Calibration
Information” table) by following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.
NOTE:
Always update the IDS tool first, then follow on-screen instructions to download the needed
calibration file for TCM reprogramming.
It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during TCM reprogramming when the IDS
screen prompts you to do so. You may accidentally stop power to one of the TCM terminals
and cause the TCM to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the IDS
reprogramming procedure.
IDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the TCM.

Please be aware that TCM 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 TCM, 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.
Start/Stop button vehicles only: DO NOT press the start/stop button during the
reprogramming process.
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.
3. After performing the TCM reprogramming procedure, verify the repair by starting the engine and
making sure there is no Check Engine Light or abnormal warning lights present.
NOTE:
If any DTCs should remain after performing DTC erase, diagnose the DTCs using MGSS
online.
After TCM reprogramming, it is no longer necessary to road test the vehicle to “relearn”
KAM (Keep Alive Memory).
4. Perform “Initial Learning” according to the instructions on MGSS online (INITIAL LEARNING
[FW6AEL, FWAX-EL])
Parts Replacement
NOTE: Proceed with Parts Replacement only if concern re-occurs after TCM reprogramming for applicable
vehicles.
1. Remove the oil pan from the transaxle according to the instructions on MGSS online (CONTROL
VALVE BODY REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [FW6AEL, FWAX-EL]).
