If the Mazda DCA-8000 is not used, incorrect battery testing may result in unnecessary battery replacement. Use the following test procedures in this Service Bulletin to test Mazda vehicle batteries and to generate a Warranty Code. NOTE: A Warranty Code is required for warranty claim submission Battery Identification (Mazda batteries have 2 rating types) 1. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard): JIS codes are six-digit alpha-numeric markings molded into the top of the battery to identify a battery by the capacity (amps), dimensions, and battery terminal type. Vehicles manufactured in Japan come from the factory with a JIS rated battery. NOTE: Replacement batteries may use a CCA rating. If so, use the CCA rating listed on the battery. Page 1 of 5 11/08/2023 10:56 PM tlawrenc 2. CCA (Cold Cranking Amps): CCA ratings are normally located on a sticker affixed to the top of the battery to indicate a battery’s Cold Cranking Amps. CCA rated batteries are supplied with domestically produced vehicles. NOTE: If an incorrect CCA rating is entered into the Mazda DCA-8000, it will result in a false result and invalid Warranty Code from the tester. This will also result in unnecessary replacement of batteries. TEST PROCEDURE Mazda DCA-8000 Main Menu 1. Connect the charger clamps to the appropriate battery posts. NOTE: For CX-90 Clamp Attachment, use duct tape (A) or equivalent to hold the cable as shown. 2. At the Main Menu, select In Vehicle Charge and the Acquire VIN screen is displayed. Page 2 of 5 11/08/2023 10:56 PM tlawrenc 3. Scan the barcode located on the driver’s side door frame using the provided wireless barcode scanner. A single beep indicates the scan was successful. NOTE: • If the DCA-8000 isn't used very often, the scanner might go dead because it only charges when the unit is plugged in and on. • If your barcode scanner is unavailable for some reason, the VIN can also be entered manually. • If the battery parameters were not filled in from the VIN scan, manually enter the battery information. • Select the correct rating system for the battery by identifying the correct JIS code (A) stamped onto the batter top or CCA code (B) printed on the battery label. The battery hold down may need to be removed in order to read the JIS code. • For MX-30, the battery does not follow Japanese Industrial Standard, therefore input CCA of 295A. • For CX-90 H3T (inline 6) M Hybrid Boost, use the following information for DCA-8000 test/charging since the battery label is not visible without removing the battery. • JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) - 75D23L • CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) - 465A • For CX-90 PHEV (2.5L), the battery label is not visible, but the battery type is Q85. Use the following temporary Q85 Battery Charging Procedure until DCA-8000 software update is available. a. Change Cranking Units to CCA. b. Edit Battery Info, then Select Continue. Page 3 of 5 11/08/2023 10:56 PM tlawrenc • • • • • • Battery Type - I-ELOOP Cranking Units - CCA Cranking Rating - 520 (Q85 type battery) Post Location - Top Post Capacity Units - Rated Ah Capacity Rating - 65 5. Complete the battery test by following the on-screen instructions and entering the appropriate information. Refer to the Mazda DCA-8000 Quick Start Guide or Midtronics online Instruction Manual for more information. 6.

Battery Tester Display “GOOD BATTERY” “GOOD - RECHARGE” Action Return the battery to service. Fully charge the battery and return it to service. “CHARGE AND RETEST” Fully charge the battery and retest. Failure to fully charge th e battery before retesting may cause false readings. If CHA RGE AND RETEST appears again after you fully charge th e battery, replace the battery. “REPLACE BATTERY” A REPLACE BATTERY result may also mean a poor conne ction between the battery and the vehicle. If you tested the battery using the System test, disconnect the battery cables and retest using the Battery Test before replacing it. 7. Select Send Results then select Print to get a test result print out. REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Perform appropriate repair to vehicle. If needed, use the Battery Diagnostics of the DCA-8000 to test the charging and starting systems by following the on-screen instructions for entering the appropriate information. Refer to the Mazda DCA-8000 Instruction Manual for more information. 2. Verify the repair. Page 4 of 5 11/08/2023 10:56 PM tlawrenc WARRANTY INFORMATION 1.
