2001 Mazda MPV Common Problems, Issues, Recalls, and Reliability

• 2001 Mazda MPV Failed Cooling Fan Module May Cause Fan to Run Constantly or Not At All

  The cooling fan module can fail causing the fan to either run constantly, or not operate at all. If the fan runs continuously, the engine may not warm up properly, and if the fan does not run, the engine may overheat. Mazda has a voluntary recall on model years 2002-2003 to address this concern. Please click here to find a Mazda dealer near you.

• 2001 Mazda MPV Misfire and Check Engine Light Due to Failed Ignition Coil

  Defective or worn out ignition coils can cause engine misfires and Check Engine Light illumination. If the problem is severe enough engine performance will suffer and the Check Engine light will flash on and off.

• 2001 Mazda MPV Cranks but Won't Start, Was Running OK

  If the engine cranks but won't start, the fault may be internal to the distributor . Diagnosis will show no spark and trouble codes for the crankshaft position sensor (CKP) or the camshaft position sensor (CMP). Our technicians recommend replacement of the complete distributor assembly if these conditions occur.

• 2001 Mazda MPV Ticking Noise From Valve Lash Adjusters Due to Infrequent Oil Changes

  A loud ticking noise (hydraulic valve lifter noise) may be heard from the top of the engine, particularly when the engine is still cold. The noise may occur more frequently on higher mileage vehicles; Hydraulic valve lash adjusters may need to be replaced to correct this issue. Following the maintenance schedule for oil changes will also help prevent a recurrence of the noise.

• 2001 Mazda MPV PCV Valve May Crack and Create Vacuum Leak/Lean Fuel Mixture

  The PCV valve can crack open and create a vacuum leak and lean fuel mixture, which can result in surging and/or engine misfires .

• 2001 Mazda MPV Engine Won't Crank When Parked on an Incline

  If the engine will not crank when the vehicle is parked on an incline, the transmission linkage may need adjustment. Some diagnosis is required because this may also be caused by inhibitor switch failure. The inhibitor switch tells the computer that the transmission is in "Park" or "Neutral", and allows the engine to start. If the inhibitor switch has failed, it will need to be replaced along with the "manual plate". Our technicians recommend checking with Mazda for updated parts.

• 2001 Mazda MPV Updated EVAP parts and PCM software upgrade for check engine light issues

  Some MPV's may experience Check Engine light illumination with specific trouble codes stored in memory. If the two codes are stored, there are updated parts for the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system , and updated software for the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) .
