This bulletin applies to 2012-2014 Mazda3, 2014-2015 Mazda6 and 2013-2015 CX-5 vehicles.

This bulletin applies to 2012-2014 Mazda3, 2014-2015 Mazda6 and 2013-2015 CX-5 vehicles, all equipped with SKYACTIV-G. Some customers may complain about one of the following symptoms when the vehicle is stopped and the transmission is in the D range:

An intermittent high engine idle speed

An intermittent engagement shock

An intermittent forward lurch

These conditions may occur when the driver depresses the brake pedal and makes contact with the throttle pedal at the same time.

Verify the complaint.

Reboot the integrated dynamics system (IDS) to clear memory before reprogramming.

Using IDS 89.03 or later software, reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration following the “Module Reprogramming” procedure.

After reprogramming, verify the repair by starting the engine and making sure that there are no MIL illumination or abnormal warning lights present.
