MAZDA MX5 (15/05/2015 – 13/04/2017) RECALL: On the subject vehicles the control logic which monitors the charging control program fails to divert the electrical power away from the capacitor when a fault is detected within the capacitor circuit. This can cause a short circuit inside the DC-DC converter and could cause the engine to stall or overheating of the DCDC converter itself which could cause a fire. The fault is accompanied by the “i-ELOOP” warning light being illuminated on the instrument cluster along with the “i-Stop” warning light flashing. The engine may in some circumstances stall and fail to restart. In extreme cases, the DC-DC converter could overheat and cause a fire.
Remedy
Reprogram the PCM with the correct control logic. If error code ﾓU3000: 49-DCDCﾔ is stored ﾖ the DCDC Converter must also be replaced.
