    yes there is now a few places where they hide some more of those value.
    TPMS system is just one of them.
    you need mazda IDS to take a look at what they can find. (if it is important to you to do it properly)

    hi all still having issues with this x100 pro

    upgraded unit so now I have mazda

    I goto auto detection

    says turn ign on

    then says turn ign off and then back on

    tool is not connecting to the cluster

    what I did find is the car is a 2017 mazda 6 atenza
    so im wondering if the x100 pro will not do this model
    when I google it I find the x100 pro can do 2015 mazda 6

    or do I need to turn off and on a certain way cause the x100 pro just wont communicate with cluster

    any help to get this car sorted is greatly appreciated

    thanks

    Hi
    try this !
    when it first asks you to turn ignition off and on don’t turn it off just leave it on to read the mileage
    after you input desired mileage it then asks to turn off and on so you need to turn it off and on very quickly
    do this and it will work 100%
