Thanks mate 👍 just bought a Mazda6 , and this 'warning' was on the dash. After looking through previous service dockets provided with car, i learned that the previous owner lived with it for about 3 years ( dockets mentioned the car being scanned, and that was the diagnosis ) . I just hope when i replace the pump, i dont interfere with the fuel line , as i would hate to bleed the system. 🇦🇺😉

They are quite easy to change & you shouldn’t have any issues with bleeding even if you remove the 2 fuel lines, it doesn’t bother them.

Great Peter..mission accomplished and well done and thank you for putting up the videos…a fantastic resource…I replaced the vacuum too because of an SCBS fault popping up…it did resolve to a point but I also have a sporadic fault which appears to be coming from one of the four front parking sensors..which I suspect causes the SCBS to reappear..disappears on next restart..but which one of 4…eeney..meeney…miney…mo! 🤔🤪

The SCBS fault will only appear after the SCBS sees an engine management fault. So drive the car for 10 or 20 kms and the do an engine management fault scan. Move forward from there, it is most likely to be a P0101 air flow fault or P0401 egr flow fault. Fix that & the SCBS fault will be resolved 👍👍

This must be what's wrong with my 2014 Mazda 6 >105kmiles. It has this constant top engine extra rattly noise like there is a squicky maybe loose bearing top engine that is in sync with the engine speed. I noticed often a Vehicle system inspection error that cannot be read by my cheap DIY fault reader. There was a night when I lost braking power while parking but this went away, at this time it also flagged SCBS inspection required. This all went away by itself although the rattly noise continues and I also get an engine check light for turbo boost pressure not detected would come on yet the car has excellent power. It would only have a kind of rough air intake noise while idling which goes away on restarting the engine. I suspect this must be from the turbo's wastegate actuator which I presume is controlled by the vacuum pump. So I have been deleting the codes with mechanics not knowing what's wrong. The Vehicle system inspection comes on half as frequently (100miles)as the engine check light for the turbo. The car has excellent performance apart from that top engine rattle. Mechanics have had no clue what it is. Thanks to this video I now know it must be the vacuum pump!

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Vacuum pumps fail very often which can make the brake pedal hard but doesn’t make any extra noise, unfortunately I would think the rattling noise could be coming from your exhaust camshaft & hydraulic camshaft followers. I have a video on changing these also 😉👍

[@Ian-kw3iz]

Good to see its back up and running, makes me think I should be selling my Mazda 6, low mileage but potentially a ticking time bomb. But on the plus side I know how to fix it thanks to this channel. In Part 1 I wonder why there was no DTC with all the ports blocked ?

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Hi Ian, the garage before me had cleared all the faults & the car wasn’t able to run long enough to monitor each piece of data to see anything wrong. ie. Air flow or egr flow numbers being very low. The same applies to the vacuum pump fault, it needed a drive cycle in order to recognise the fault. Does that make sense 🤔

Remove the battery and battery tray. That intake pipe is only held in place by 4 12mm nuts. Once they are removed catch the pipe and twist it out of your way with the rubber intercooler pipe still connected. It makes it a little easier & faster 😉👍👍🤷🏼‍♂️

hi peter. i have an issue i think is vacuum pump related. a while back i has scbs warning. a garage cleared the code so i dont remember what it was but the symptoms i have are no cruise control. it will switch on but will engage. also sometimes when at really low speed when parking the brake pedal will drop suddenly and then suddenly brake hard. i also have low power below 2500 rpm but i checked the small turbo waste valve. it is a little loose but the rivet is not broken(yet)

[@kennedysgarage3281]

If you could get your hands on a scantool you could check it very easily, just by looking at live data. The only problem is that the vacuum pump failure is normally caused by exhaust camshaft wearing and bits of metal from it effecting the vacuum pump. I’ll copy and paste a video on vacuum pump diagnosis 😉👍👍👍

oh thanks for the reply sir. i already replaced the cam and rockers myself a few months back. also done a carbon clean and changed injector washers and cleaned the strainer. i know my turbo is on the way out as there is some play in the impellar of the big one but money is short so it will have to wait a bit longer. i'm guessing no cruise control and the brake pedal dropping suddenly only to then brake hard at very low speeds is related to the pump. they cleared all the codes before i got a chance to see what was wrong. what should i be looking out for on the scan. i have forscan and the lead here for my laptop

Hi Dave, this is an easy way to check your vacuum pump of you could get your hands on a scantool. The intake manifold blocks up with carbon very commonly & the exhaust camshaft wears also which can cause this type symptoms. But I would most definitely recommend starting with the intake manifold 1st.

Generally these engines stay going other than a loss in oil pressure or complete blockage of the intake manifold. So yes it should stay driving 🤞🤞

[@kennedysgarage3281]

Hi Grzegorz, the funny thing about these Mazda Skyactive engines is that they want everything right. So once you see a P258B it is going to need a vacuum pump. Now they say that they fail due to metal shavings from the exhaust camshaft wearing. So you will more than likely end up removing the 4 injectors & the rocker cover to inspect the camshaft condition also 😬😬😬 The camshaft’s seem to be worn in them all from around 150,000 kms on

Best thing you can do for these, if you want them to last is so a DPF and EGR delete. The dpf regen is what kills this engine in my opinion. Either that or you got to really keep on top of them in terms of oil change, like every 5k miles, use premium diesel and add additives to your Deisel. But even with that, the head gasket will always fail because of the dpf regen overwhelms the cooling system. So yeah, not great for the environment, but DPF and EGR delete.
