What is this fault code?

Post by plinth » Sun Apr 29, 2018 12:07 am

I'm having trouble diagnosing this fault code for my automatic gearbox: https://youtu.be/eOnVy90c4bQ

From what I can see, the first code is 37 (three long and seven short dashes), but based on the online fault code page (http://www.philmcfadden.co.uk/MazdaDiagnosticBox.htm) , there is no code 37 for the automatic gearbox.

Am I reading it wrong?

Thanks

Looks correct, I use the light on the dash rather than an led, does the light on the dash give the same class sequence?

I can't see on the video but have you definitely got the right pins?

37 appears to be the common Mazda fault code for airbag. Do you have an airbag warning light on at all?

Your other fault looks to be 12 which would be the throttle position sensor. I'd start by looking at that and seeing if you can sort that one first.

Hi there,

I have similar problem with AT gearbox fault code, its giving me code 16 and 36 but can not find them on that fault code page.
Does anyone know what they mean ?

I am also wondering how do you pull out engine fault code ? There are not FEN and TEN pins on my diagnostic connector neither on that connector which is shown on Phillcmfadden page....?

Thanks a lot

Code 16 is the EGR valve and although 36 is not listed (mis-read perhaps?) it is likely to be linked. So the EGR is the starting point; it may be sooted up.
