This is the diagnostic box on my '97 Freda 2.5 TurboDiesel.It's sad to see that there are limitations to the information you can get from it, but below is the page prepared by John Wood giving clear instructions for the Mazda 626 -note that the box is shown upside down to the way it's fitted in the Bongo: Bongo owners have to think outside the box.

Obviously neither John nor myself can be responsible for anyone who destroys either themselves, their car or anything else for following these instructions.

Malfunction codes can be retrieved from the engine, ABS, automatic transmission, Cruise Control, 4WS and air-bag computers by reading the codes flashed by the LED.


Engine Malfunction Codes

Engine codes can be read by connecting the TEN and GND pins, using the jumper wire. (See above for the location of this pin) and The LED connected to B+ and FEN pins. The codes are read by counting the number of flashes given out from the LED. The RED lead goes to the B+ pin

BE CAREFUL CONNECTING THE B+ PIN... this is a live 30A feed

The first series of long flashes (1.2 Secs) are the tens position. There is a short pause (1.6 Secs) and then the second series of quick flashes (0.4 Secs) begins which are the digits. The codes are repeated indefinitely.

Example:  ------ ------ (2)   -- -- -- (3)   is 23 – RH 02 Sensor

Automatic Transmission (ATX) Malfunction Codes

Automatic transmission codes can be read by connecting the TAT and GND pins (see above for the location of this pin) and The LED connected to B+ and FAT pins. The codes are read exactly as they are when reading the engine codes. A summary of the codes and the reasons:

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Malfunction Codes

Anti-lock braking (ABS) system codes are read when the TBS and GND pins are connected in the Diagnostic connector (see above) and The LED connected to B+ and FBS pins. The codes are read, again, like the engine codes. A summary of codes and the reasons:
