buy cheap - get CHEAP, pay cheap - pay twice and I could go on an on. There is a reason certain parts or brands cost more than other which reflects the quality of them. I am not saying the more expensive is always better as there are lot of overpriced stuff out there. But if someone thinks they made a good deal getting something for half price, guess what - the cost saving was in the quality very likely. Also seen a lot of times compatibility issues. For example we seen the most issues with sensors if they are not OEM ones they give you fault codes and headaches. So the diagnostics procedure is always important, don't change something that is working properly and if you change something make sure it will be working as it is intended to do. GREAT work Peter! as usual ;) David&Dan.

[@kennedysgarage3281]

@@MrNiceGuy94 I absolutely agree Dan & David. It can be very frustrating when cheaper aftermarket parts are replaced but not up to the job, you always question you diagnosis first & did you miss something or call the wrong part 😬😬

😂 reading the reseting procedure "Another Way": 1. "Find the engine hood,...." 😂 Damn...isn't there an age limit for those instructions? 😂 Small tip: use a small 12v battery to keep the ECUs happy. I have an old model 14,4v 3ah bosch battery that I bought for cheap because are not in use anymore and a cheap battery adapter with + and - output, put 2 clamps on them and I can clamp the battery terminals during removal. Usually saves a lot of time reseting the windows, radio, angle sensor etc etc. You can do it via obd too. Autel has a nice tool for that "battery memory saver", but there are many. However I prefer to jump directly to the battery terminals if the lights go on or something draws too much for the obd port. Cheers!

Just wondering me, as you mension is AGM battery where Mazda using EFB batteries and on youre movie is D31 EFB in that Mazda not AGM

[@kennedysgarage3281]

AGM is a gel filled battery rather liquid & EFB is liquid filled but just a slightly cheaper version. I do as a habit call all Stop/start batteries AGM so if I phrase anything incorrect just ignore me. Just don’t fit a standard wet flooded battery to the as they fail quite fast in start/stop systems 😉

Is that battery reset proceedure for an automatic i.e. P&N? You are 100% right about cheap batteries being rubbish.....a false economy, you'll be lucky to get 3 years out of them

[@domi9577]

@kennedysgarage3281 battery checked yesterday. It's fine. My capacitor charges up when I'm slowing down or going down hill but then as soon as I apply the accelerator the capacitor power bars on the graphic reduce to zero in about 4 seconds. It's therefore losing its charge.
