How to Reset Mazda SkyActiv Transmission - Easy Fix for Bad Shifts!

Описание: Step-by-step instructions for how to put your Mazda Skyactiv Transmission into initialization mode to reset shift patterns. If your shifts are not smooth any more, the computer could have picked up some bad habits and this may be an easy fix like it was for me! Before you go to a mechanic, try this easy free fix to see if it works! My car is a 2018 Mazda CX-5 with the 2.5L four cylinder engine which is used across many Mazda models. Even if your Mazda is equipped differently, the process should be the same if it is a Skyactiv model. Let me know how it worked in the comments!

FULL STEP BY STEP PROCESS:

1. Make sure car is up to normal operating temperature before starting - if it is cold, drive it around until it's up to temperature

2. With car idling in Park, place foot firmly on the brake pedal and keep it there for the entire process - do not let up on it for the entire time

3. Put the car into neutral

4. Turn off the Car

5. Shift the car into Manual )-) and hold it there for 5 seconds

6. After 5 seconds, keep the car in Manual (-) and press the start engine button (car will not start)

7. Put the car into neutral

8. Press the start engine button (it will start this time)

9. Move the shifter to Manual (+) and hold it there for five seconds

10. Move the shifter to Manual (-) and hold it there for five seconds

11. The engine idle should increase and you'll see the gear display show "M". You can then release the shifter but leave it in manual mode

12. Once the idle goes back to normal, the gear display should show "M1". Once this happens, shift the car to park and shut off the engine.

13. You've successfully reset the transmission!
