Hi everyone, I'll start off saying I don't have a Mazda 5, but I am trying to use an electric power steering pump from a 06-10 model year.
I have a 1987 Supra I'm working on engine swapping and I wanted to go with electric power steering to cut out some of the fitment issues I'd run into with keeping the factory power steering on the engine I want to use..
I'm sure there's been a lot of questions and answers on the Mazda 3 pump that plenty of people use, but I came upon a Mazda 5 pump at a good price I didnt want to pass up.
From the wiring diagram I was able to find online, it seems like I should just have to put 12v positive to the gray/blue wire in the 6-wire plug to get it running, but it doesnt seem to agree with me..
So I guess the first question is, could anyone point me towards a more comprehensive wiring diagram for the Mazda 5? Alternatively, could anyone give me a heads up if the pump requires a signal from the steering angle sensor(s) to function; if so, is there any work around that anyone might be aware of?
Thank you in advance to anyone with any input.

 

Mazda 3 & 5 are basically the same front build.

 

Thanks Grim

one more question..
From what I've read, most steering angle sensors output a 2.4(2.8?) volt, and 0.4 volt signal when the wheels are straight, if I can get those voltages sent into the controller on the correct pins, would this trigger the pump to turn on (while being supplied constant 12v of course) or is there a more sophisticated solution I haven't been able to find?
I haven't been able to find a very in depth guide or answer to get this pump running as of yet..
Thanks
