- Mazda CX-9 GT 2008 AWD, Nav
- My AllDataDIY account says to turn the ignition to the "ON" position. It does not indicate if I should start it or not.
- I probably need to disconnect the battery for the spark plug + PCV change.
- It was just aligned, and reset, and the steering is so perfect. It drives straight as an arrow.
- My CX-7, before I traded it in, had a lot of trouble with this reset (the TCM light would go off far before I finished the turn left + turn right). It had several steering concerns that the dealer would not acknowledge. I don't want to mess this car up.
- I noticed a big difference on the CX-7 if I did the angle sensor initialization with the engine on and when I did it with the engine off. I am not sure which was right.
My thoughts/questions
- Should the engine be running for the angle sensor initialization?
- If I am scared of having to do this initialization is there a way around it? (Not disconnecting the battery, or using some kind of memory saver like this http://www.autobarn.net/xxxw-kas295a.html)
