All-wheel drive transmission malfunction indicator (Mazda 6 GG)

The malfunction indicator comes on for a few seconds after turning the ignition switch to the "ON" position (ignition on).

The indicator may then turn on and remain lit or flash in the following cases:

• the indicator lights up constantly when there is a fault with the 4WD transmission;
• the indicator flashes when the oil in the main gear is overheated;
• the indicator flashes if there is a significant difference between the rotation speeds of the front and rear wheels for a sufficiently long period of time, for example when driving on a slippery icy surface.
