Mazda Training manual - part 3

Powertrain  

Introduction 

Introduction 

• 

The training course “Powertrain” introduces the various engines and transmissions of the 
current Mazda models with the main focus on the mechanical system. 

• 

It is one part of the NTOM (New-To-Mazda) course, which is addressed to entry-level 
Mazda technicians. Successful attendance of the NTOM course is a prerequisite for 
participation in any technical courses of the Mazda Masters program. 

• 

Anyone associated with the diagnosis and repair of Mazda vehicles must have the 
knowledge to deliver a “Fix it right first time” repair. Therefore, the Mazda Masters 
development and qualification path provides the following training courses required for 
servicing Mazda vehicles: 

– 

Introduction To Mazda (NTOM) CT-L1001.1 

– 

Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (NTOM) CT-L1001.2 

– 

Chassis and Body (NTOM) CT-L1001.3 

– 

Powertrain (NTOM) CT-L1001.4 

 
• 

The ranking of this course within the Mazda Masters educational system is Level 1 – 
‘Mazda Technician’. It is intended for technicians without Mazda experience, who 
already have started their new job at a Mazda dealer. 

• 

The training manual “Powertrain” is divided into the following main chapters: 

– 

Engines 

– 

Transmissions

MESI for Engine Service and Repairs 

• 

For engine service and repairs MESI provides two different types of information within 
the Service Contents menu. 

• 

The chapter “Engine” of the workshop manual contains information about the various 
engine systems such as cooling system, exhaust system etc. but also about certain 
mechanical repairs on the engine. 

• 

The “Engine Workshop Manual” contains detailed information about mechanical 
overhauling of the engine. It explains the disassembly, inspection, repair and reassembly 
procedures on the engine. It also contains specifications (like tightening torques, 
standard values and limit values) for the various overhaul and repair procedures. 

• 

The chapter “Engine” of the workshop manual can be found by choosing the “Workshop 
Manual” from the Service Contents menu and then selecting “Engine”. If you have to 
replace a cylinder head gasket for example, select “Mechanical” and then “Cylinder 
Head Gasket Replacement” to get information about the procedure.
