FOREWORD 

 
Advanced computer controlled systems and highly sophisticated computer-assisted 
mechanisms on Mazda vehicles are now normal equipment.  Computer-controlled 
systems are used on more than 90% of the modern 21

st

 century vehicle. 

As customers come to have high expectations of their vehicles, technicians must 
have sophisticated technical skills. 
“Fix It Right the First Time” is the working philosophy of Mazda Corporation: Make 
this your diagnostic approach to every Mazda! 
 
Purpose 
 
This activity-based, 2-day course is intended to familiarize you with Mazda’s new 
diagnostic tool, Mazda Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS).  This class is intended 
primarily for Mazda technicians who have competency with WDS, Mazda’s previous 
scan tool. 
 
Objectives 
 
After completing this course, you will be able to diagnose control systems and 
program programmable modules in current Mazda vehicles using M-MDS. This 
course includes: 
 

• 

Identifying and connecting M-MDS hardware components 

• 

Installing and updating M-MDS software on a Mazda-supported laptop 

• 

Installing, updating, and removing M-MDS software on a Mazda-supported 
Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) 

• 

Performing PDA navigation for using M-MDS 

• 

Using M-MDS to identify vehicles, read diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), 
read/print freeze frame data (FFD), and use DataLogger 

• 

Programming and updating programmable modules 

• 

Accessing and diagnosing passive antitheft systems (Immobilizer and PATS) 

• 

Defining M-MDS terms and describing the functions of frequently used  
M-MDS icons 

 
 
NOTE: This training course has been originally developed for North American Market. 
Then, the course materials have been modified and edited to be suitable for other 
markets. However, some particular markets may be required further modification.
