Sorry but I don't use and tend to suggest that DIY use blue tooth scanning programs or what you are using to diagnosis your Mazda.
Even inexpensive hand held direct OBDII connection scanners can at least access the I/M Monitors.

They are your emissions systems status.

I/M = Inspection and Maintenance

Example:
I found this one to use because my Mazda is all green or in state of readiness which men no issues.
Now something like a very small leak in the exhaust can trigger a DTC and also place 1 or more I/M to be negative .Depending on which can help locate the difference in a DTC that is showing a CAT failing or a simple 5 dollar easy to change exhaust .There is not DTC for a failing gasket . So here the funny thing, an untrained mechanic with state a failing CAT replace it costing hundreds of doable for the part as well couple hundred for the labor. Then during the replacement having to remove the exhaust and that bad 5 dollar gaskit which now gets replaced with the new CAT. The DTC clears the I/M are all ready and the customer is happy only a few hundred dollars poorer all because of poor Diagnostics to actually find the real cause…..a 5 dollar gasket and 20 minutes labor .

Is that engine throttle body injection? If that's the case I would think they may be different. Multipoint is another thing they should all be the same

Throttle body is single point with 2 or more injectors located where a carburettor would be and has the throttle plate included in it's construction.. Multipoint has 4 injectors 1 for each cylinder. My guess is multipoint which is all that got sold here but in other countries I don't know.

hi it is a multipoint. But 6 injectors because it’s a v6. There is a throttle body with a throttle plate that opens with the throttle cable being pulled. Another thing. And I’m pretty experienced with forscan since I also have a ford ecoboost transit. My short term fuel trims are 125% and 127% and my o2 short term fuel trims are 99%
