Condition is the result of a slight delay in the alternator
ramp up when the AC system is turned on (which includes the cooling
fans). If this delay were not present the results would be an idle
speed dip, which Mazda feels would create higher customer
dissatisfaction.
When you encounter a customer with this concern, Explain the cause and
make no repair attempts.
