WINDOWS OPEN UNINTENTIONALLY

DESCRIPTION

When returning to their vehicle after locking it with all the windows closed, the customer finds that all the windows (Mazdaspeed6) or both front windows (Mazda6 and CX-7) are fully open. This can occur when the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter is mishandled by the user.

The following improvements have been implemented to reduce the chance of unintentionally opening the windows.





^ Changed the specification of Global Opening/Closing (GOC) to a "double-push" type transmitter button function. The RKE transmitter now works when the UNLOCK button is pushed twice and held until the windows open.

^ Discontinued full-auto opening mode when using GOC. Windows will now stop opening as soon as the UNLOCK button on the RKE transmitter is released.

Customers having this concern should have their vehicle repaired using the following repair procedure.

REPAIR PROCEDURE

1. Verify customer concern.

2. Replace Body Control Module (BCM) according to Mazda6 Workshop Manual (section 09-40 BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION) or CX-7 Workshop Manual (section 09-40 BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) REMOVAL/INSTALLATION).

3. Verify repair.

4. After battery is reconnected, complete the "Power Window Initialization Procedure" to ensure windows "auto up/down" feature functions properly.

NOTE:
Please inform the customer the RKE transmitter will now work when the UNLOCK button is pushed TWICE and held until the windows open.
