Symptoms and Conditions                                                 
                                                                        
Hesitation and/or intermittent stumble under acceleration.              
                                                                        
All Mazdaspeed Protege PCM's should be reprogramed using the following  
procedure.                                                              
                                                                        
Repair Procedure                                                        
1. Verify customer concern.                                             
                                                                        
2. Using WDS B27.4 or later software, reprogram the PCM to the latest   
   calibration (refer to "Calibration Information"table) by following   
   the "Module Reprogramming" procedure                                 
                                                                        
NOTE:                                                                   
*  Always update the WDS PTU first, then install the needed calibra-    
   tion file that the WDS shows during PCM reprogramming. Go to "WDS    
   Calibration" on ESI and download the "update" file. If the PTU is    
   not updated to the latest WDS calibration level, the calibration     
   file will not install into the PTU.                                  
                                                                        
*  It is not necessary to remove any fuses or relays during PCM         
   reprogramming when the WDS screen prompts you to do so. You may      
   accidentally stop power to one of the PCM terminals and cause the PCM
   to be blanked, or you may receive error messages during the WDS      
   reprogramming procedure.                                             
                                                                        
*  WDS shows the calibration part numbers after programming the PCM.    
                                                                        
*  Please be aware that PCM calibration part numbers and file names     
   listed in any RI/Service Bulletin may change due to future releases  
   of WDS software, and additional revisions made to those calibrations 
   for service related concerns.                                        
                                                                        
*  When reprogramming a PCM, WDS will always display the "latest"       
   calibration P/N available for that vehicle. If any calibration has   
   been revised/updated to contain new information for a new service    
   service concern/issue, it will also contain all previously released  
   calibrations.                                                        
                                                                        
*  When performing this procedure, if the WDS PTU is not docked and     
   connected to 115V-120V, we recommend that a battery charger be       
   installed on the vehicle battery and turned ON to a maximum charge of
   no more than 20 AMPS to keep the vehicle battery up to capacity. If  
   you exceed 20 AMPS, it will damage the WDS PTU.                      
                                                                        
5. Place an "Authorized Modification" label (P/N 9999-95-AMDC-97)       
   with the new calibration information near the Emission Control       
   Information label located on the hood or in the engine compartment.  
                                                                        
4. Verify repair.                                                       
                                                                        
NOTE: After reprogramming a PCM, it is necessary to road test           
      the vehicle to relearn KAM (Keep Alive Memory) strategy and       
      verify no MIL illumination or DTC's are present.
