New to Mazda first issue
Hello,
New to the Mazda family with a 2018 CX-5. This suv has 42,500 miles on it. Last night when pulling into my driveway, we got two warnings:
1. Smart Brake system Malfunction
2. Forward Smart City Brake Support Malfunction
It's going to the dealer in a few days for an open recall, but in the meantime is there any suggestions for me?

The lights have come on/off for a few days in a row, but now are on constantly .....
The CX-5 is at the dealership for the PCM software recall.. They claim diagnosing the "brake" warnings above could take 5+ hours so they don't have time to do it today (ugh!)
I'm not holding my breath but I kinda hope whatever software updates they apply also addresses this issue!

Unfortunately, no warranty and no quote... so far, she's driven it roughly 50-70 miles and no lights have come on since the PCM reprogramming for the recall...

If those messages do come back, even if you don't normally do DIY auto repair, I suggest going to an auto parts store or shop that has a scan tool capable of reading systems such as ABS, to find out for yourself what information is available from the computers relative to the issue(s). Then if additional information is read, you can at least try to do online research about what's been provided by the scan tool.

I'm going to wait for the codes/warnings to come back. Oddly enough, the weather was 95 degrees and very humid when the warnings came on.. Since the recall reprogramming, the temps are back in the low 60's to mid 70's.. Possibly related to the forward camera overheating.... Anyway, I'll keep an eye on it for sure and post any updates!
I do have a paid version of Toque Pro I use to pull codes off my other cars, so I'll assume it works with the Mazda as well.
