How do I know if my Mazda has i-ELOOP?
i-ELOOP Indicator Light/Control Status Display The light turns on during power generation. If the engine is started after the vehicle has not been driven for a long period of time, the i-ELOOP indicator light may flash. Leave the engine idling and wait until the indicator light turns off.
What is Eloop battery?
i-ELOOP is a regenerative braking system. When you depress the brake pedal or use engine braking, the kinetic energy that occurs is converted to electrical energy by the power generator and the converted electrical energy is stored in the rechargeable battery (capacitor and battery).
What is Mazda G Vectoring?
Mazda G-Vectoring Control responds to steering input and adjusts engine torque to manage the effects of lateral, longitudinal, and vertical forces on a vehicle’s ride and handling as it turns. This makes the vehicle feel more stable through the curve and when accelerating out of it.
How does the Mazda i-ELOOP braking system work?
Follow us on @Ask_ICAR for daily updates. Beginning model year 2014, Mazda has introduced a regenerative engine braking system called i-ELOOP, short for “Intelligent Energy Loop.” In this system, a capacitor is used to store electrical energy generated during deceleration. In a conventional system when the vehicle slows or stops, energy is wasted.
Can you jump start a Mazda i-ELOOP battery?
When replacing an i-ELOOP equipped vehicle’s battery, be sure to install the correct Q85 type battery. There are special procedures for jump starting, disconnecting and charging the Q85 battery. An i-ELOOP equipped vehicle can be jump-started, but the vehicle must not be driven until an in-dash i-ELOOP warning display turns off.
What kind of capacitor is in Mazda i-ELOOP?
The i-ELOOP capacitor is a “wet type” capacitor, and must be stored upright to prevent electrolyte leaks, which will damage the capacitor. Also, never use a new or used capacitor that has been dropped or otherwise damaged.
What happens when you disconnect the negative sensor on a Mazda ELOOP?
Failure to first disconnect this sensor can cause false sensor readings and set diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). When reconnecting the battery terminals, first connect the positive terminal, and then the negative terminal without the current sensor connected. Finally reconnect the current sensor to the negative terminal.
