DESCRIPTION
Some customers may report an odor or water in the HVAC system and upon inspection, the cabin air filter may be found
to be wet.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Verify the HVAC and cowl drains are not restricted by debris or have hoses detached.
a. Pour some water onto the cowl and make sure the water drains correctly. If the water drains out slowly,
verify the drains are not restricted.
b. Verify all drain hoses are attached to the HVAC unit and not restricted. If the cabin air filter is wet, replace
it.
2. Because some car washes may use too much soap or have the water pressure set too high, instruct the customer
to do the one of the following before entering a car wash
• Set the HVAC system to recirculate with the blower at the lowest setting.
• Turn off the HVAC system (until they exit the car wash).
NOTE: If water continues to enter the HVAC system after following the instructions in step 2, contact Mazda
Technical Hotline.
WARRANTY INFORMATION
If the drains are disconnected this is covered under warranty, otherwise customer pay. Use DSA if blocked by debris,
CAF replacement.
