Stock ECU reads it.

OD switch is also read by the stocker ECU....

Stock ECU's suck

I use mine for start in gear protection and for my remote start

I can't remember if FD's have this as well, if so that would work great with a remote start, yes I do realize this is the 2nd gen section...

tweiss3 · 05-22-2011, 07:48 AM

Thats exactly what I would want it for... I want that new alarm the 'drone' I think it's called.... Everything is done via internet/SMS and you can track your cars local by GPS too.... But I did not want to put in one if I could not use a neutral safety switch easily.... Thank Goodness Mazda has a habit of over engineering some things :P

alright, what the fuck does the ecu read it for? I think im going to try to "repair" it tonight, and hope i can make it work. I called 3 dealers this morning and the earliest they could get it would be next week, which is too far away.

To let the ECU know that your in gear so it can anticipate the car being driven.

It's timing related and idle speed control (BAC) and deceleration control (fuel cut) related among other things. See manual.

Mazda isn't special in having a neutral switch.

tweiss3 · 05-23-2011, 07:51 AM

So, the switch is open when its in gear, and closed when it is in neutral? so in leaving the switch alone not plugged in, it always thinks its in gear, right, so there really shouldn't be any harm in just leaving it?

***TitaniumTT*** · 05-23-2011, 07:53 AM

Idle and afr's might be a little wonky

As much as I don't like them.... MT might have one in stock, as much as I LIKE him, Ray should have one in stock as well

tweiss3 · 05-23-2011, 08:03 AM

MT?
