Thanks for reading and any help is appreciated.
2014 Mazda CX-5 touring AWD
Car only has 50,000 miles but the differential had to be replaced. I originally went with a used replacement but that didn't work out (leaked and possible corroded solenoid). Luckily I got the money back and decided to buy a new differential through the dealership.
The new diff is installed and everything sounds smooth.
However, I am getting the following lights on the dash, none of which i had before!
TCS on steady
ABS on steady
TPS flashes then on steady
4WD and BRAKE come on for short period and then go away. Then come on together for a few minutes then go away.
Question 1: Do I have to get the codes on the new differential programmed by Mazda in order for this to work properly? Would this cause the dash lights and ABS to malfunction? I have not been to Mazda again after last time it was $150 for the reprogram and it didn't change anything. The attitude I’m getting from Mazda is unbelievable so I’m trying to do this one myself.
Question 2: Any diagnostic recommendations?
I have already tried the following:
-TPS reset
-Battery and power removed (reset) for extended period
-I installed two new rear ABS sensors during the job because I had to cut the old ones out. I just checked them with a meter and the sensors are fine. The wires to the sensors are carrying power so no issues there.
-All connectors on the diff are new and the existing connection ports are fine. Everything is tight.
Thanks again.
