Dear all
I am having some electrical issues with my 2009 mazda 6s GT. While driving, the Air con won't worko. The key light, security indicator lights, The DSC, Traction Control, ABS, Brake lights and all other lights all come on and won't turn off.
1)The car start button doesn't work appropriately. On hitting the break to start the car, the red light comes up instead of the normal green light though the car will start. Turning the car off, one must press and hold the button for about a minute before the engine goes off.
2) The whole alarms light are on the dashboard and the remote key is not functioning appropriately. The car must be off for the trunk to be opened
3) During driving on auto, the transmission doesn't pick gear fast so i have to drive it on manual mode
4) The car doesn't communicate with any diagnostic tool (Opd2 scanner)
5) I took the car to a repair yard, I was told my driver entered a ditch of water so, there was water ingress. However, they have not been able to solve or tell me what particular component or components is the issue and this has lasted 16 days now.

Kindly advice, thanks

Your issues most definitely picks the theory of electrical communication breakdown.

DIY

1. open up the remote and replace the battery, looks like the security communication is in a on and off loop

2. Check the gear fluid if burnt or black that is a diagnosis to your problem, if not burnt did you replace recently and was the recommended fluid used or you just paid the mechanic and can't say? Any way just get the recommended fluid and replace make sure you paid for it or you are there when it is been done. If no improvement on gear after that let's move on

3. Your obd port isn't working, no communication stock communication, just like I said you have electrical communication issues evident that car starts in an abnormal way. Ensure the battery of the car is totally out then let them bring out the brain box and first trace the wiring, the unit can be opened by all this radionic and he can scrutinise the board for damage IC, diode, resistors etc. A sharp eyed radionic can pinpoint a faulty component. Most times this things just need a good heat to bring them back to life I don't know whether your radionic would have a rework station sha.

4. Next step is to check mazda forums for people who have gone through such issues and they can give you an heads up if you lucky, most won't have been fixed under warranty.

5. Probably you need a new ECU and wiring, definitely a pool of water that will get to the ECU and it's wiring component nah swimming pool be that except your driver ran 140mph into lots of water and the fans did the spraying to sensitive components but am guessing your alternator should have told that tale.

if your check engine light is on go and scan 1st. That should have been your point of call.

Then how did you determine the car is using excessive fuel?

I drive a Lexus RX330. And as with all the Lexus I've been driving, even when you lose the key, once you step on the brake, it's brake light comes on. Even the horn is activated without the key in ignition or anywhere close to the car as long as you press the horn pad.

Please What are the differences between Toyota orobo, pencil and envelope. I am a new buyer and want to know if the differences in specs justify the difference in cost.
Re: Car Talk Chat Room by Kristolite: 3:19pm On Feb 23, 2019
Good afternoon everyone. I drive a 2003 Camry. But I noticed it doesn't have the abs. I've told two different mechanics at different locations and after looking at my engine, they said mine doesn't use ABS. I did not believe them. But I tell you, every 5 to 6 weeks I change lining. Could it be that the absence of the ABS is responsible for the quick eating up of the lining or a bad lining? Or some camry models don't use ABS? If mine does, how much does it cost to buy? Thank you Sir...

No you can't install ABS in a unit that wasn't manufactured with one.

Check your mechanic who installs the brake lining. Or check your driving pattern.

If you must use a Camry with ABS unit, sell the current unit you have and buy one with an ABS unit.
