Green and brown wires swap those and see if your light goes out if not then something else is the cause. these are tucked up under the dash on the drivers side if you run your hand down the main harness that runs in through the firewall you should feel them on top.Mazda is sneaky they want you to take it in and pay an arm and a leg to get it shut off.

The light is there to indicate that service is needed for the EGR subsystem. It is a mileage driven function. The wires get swapped at 60k, then I think again at 90k, then they are disconnected entirely the next time the light comes on.
