1991 Mazda MX-6 L4-2184cc 2.2L SOHC Turbo F2SECTION Testing and Inspection
Electrical load signals (component "ON") are sent to the ECU from the headlight switch, blower motor switch, cooling fan switches and rear window defroster switch.
HEADLIGHT SWITCH
Headlight switch signal can be checked at ECU terminal 1H. With headlights "ON," terminal voltage should be approximately 12V. With headlights "OFF," voltage should be below 1.5V.
BLOWER MOTOR SWITCH
Blower motor switch signal can be checked at ECU terminal 1P, ignition "ON." With blower switch "OFF" or in low position, terminal voltage should be approximately 12V. With switch "ON" in 3rd or 4th high position, voltage should be below 1.5V.
COOLING FAN SWITCHES
NO. 1 SWITCH (LOW)
Fan switch signal can be checked at ECU terminal 2D. With coolant temperature below 97°C (207°F), terminal should read battery voltage. Above 97°C (207°F), voltage should be below 1.5V.
NO. 2 SWITCH (HIGH, AUTO. TRANS.)
Fan switch signal can be checked at ECU terminal 2G. With coolant temperature below 108°C (226°F), terminal should read battery voltage. Above 108°C (226°F), voltage should be below 1.5V.
REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER SWITCH
Rear window defroster switch signal can be checked at ECU terminal 1J, ignition "ON." With defroster switch "OFF," terminal should read battery voltage. With switch "ON," voltage should be below 1.5V.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
