You need access to a fault code reader. This will tell you why the ECU is complaining. Fix any faults arising and then use the reader again to clear the trouble codes.
Reading the fault codes on a Mk 2.5 requires an OBD II reader, but the cheap ones(hand held £60 onwards) dont read all the fault codes on jap cars,Carl as a top of the range fault reader(snap on £2000 worth of kit),which will work out a lot cheaper than a mazda dealership honest,other wise i would not have pointed you in that direction.
Dont worry it will be something and nothing.
Mk 1’s and Mk 2’s can be read with an LED flash codes from the diagnogstics box under the engine bay.
