The defect

On certain Mazda6 (GJ) vehicles, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may function incorrectly, ceasing to charge the battery. This will illuminate the 'Charging system warning light' and the message 'Charging System Malfunction' will be displayed on the instrument panel. If the driver continues to operate the vehicle in this condition, this will result in battery drain, loss of essential functions, and eventually result in the engine stalling.
