Doesn't that get kinda dangerous?
I haven't researched this in detail, so there are a few assumptions...
I know it's a 4-position valve, so it's a 4-pole stepper motor.
Does it have limiters on min (1) and max (4)?
If it has limiters, then it's a little bit safer...
If it doesn't, then you can easily jump from min to max with one errant signal.
There has to be a reason why Mazda went with a feedback signal system.
You would think that the OMP system is important enough to have this feedback system functional.
It does throw a nasty error (which goes into limp-home mode) when triggered.
