[Lord_Zath]

up up down down left right left right b a b a start

[Aricjm15]

well it only works on early 90's and late 80's mazdas, great for unlimited boost and imortality

And if you get the special limited edition "Contra" protege, you get 52 medals which God will exchange for lives.

i dont know what neither of you guys talking about i htink he is been serious and you guys are just silly but i dont know what freaking codes is he talking about

[Aricjm15]

I dont think anyone has come out with a list of trouble codes/CEL codes for the 3 yet, they might be similar to the ones for the protege but I am not sure.

[M_3]

look it up on google hehe

[Brad]

i may be wrong, but i think trouble codes are universal because they have to follow OBDII diagnostics

[mazda3zoom]

yea im talkin about trouble codes, not damn cheat codes for my PS2 (dark)

[Brad]

As in Check Engine Light Codes?

funny shiat.... deff worth a laugh.... gotta love old school nintendo cheat codes those things were great!!!

[goldwing2000]

They're in the service manual but there are like seven pages of them, so I'm not about to scan them and post them for you. If you have a code, you can PM me and I'll tell you what it is.

[mazda3zoom]

alright, that sounds good. (cool)

[M_3]

but are they universal yes or no

[Aricjm15]

but are they universal yes or no
there are universal codes yes, but each car can have its own specific codes
the universal ones are usualy just general codes

[M_3]

ohhh ok thats cool, i want codes

[Brad]

if you are talking about CEL codes, yes they are universal

[peepsalot]

Autozone can read your code for free, and they have a little book that says what each means.

from what i understand they cant read our cars because of the new ecu we have

[peepsalot]

Hmm, I haven't heard that one, but I'm pretty sure that all new cars have to abide by the OBDII specifications. It's like a government regulation thing. Unless there is an even newer OBDIII out that I don't know about. In my car, the OBD port is under the dash to the left of the steering wheel. I don't know about mazda 3s', but i'mm 99% sure they have the same port(not necessarily in the same location though).

[goldwing2000]

I've heard that, as well. It's not the protocol (they're all OBDII since 1996), it's the communication bus. I heard the A-zone scanners won't read the CAN bus that we use. Haven't verified it, though.

Tony, you can just come over my house if you need to read a code.
