Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
Tires and Wheels
When inspecting/adjusting the tire pressures, do not apply excessive force to the air valve of the tire pressure sensor. Otherwise, the tire pressure sensor could be damaged.
When changing tires and wheels
When changing the tires or wheels (such as installing winter tires), it will be necessary to register the ID signal code of the tire pressure sensor to the TPMS.
Have an Authorized Mazda Dealer do the registration or register the ID signal codes of the tire pressure sensors using the following procedure.
The tire pressure sensors on each wheel have a unique ID signal code. For the TPMS to operate correctly, the ID signal codes of the tire pressure sensors need to be registered to the system.
-
Wait more than 19 minutes after changing a tire or wheel.
-
After more than 19 minutes have passed, drive the vehicle at a speed of about 25 km/h (16 mph) or faster for 3 minutes or longer. While driving, the ID signal codes of the tire pressure sensors are automatically registered.
If you drive the vehicle within 19 minutes of changing a tire or wheel, the TPMS warning light will flash because the ID signal codes for the tire pressure sensors were not registered. In this case, stop the vehicle and register the ID signal codes of the tire pressure sensors following the procedure.
When replacing tires and wheels
-
When replacing the tires and wheels, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer Otherwise, the tire pressure sensors could be damaged when replacing them.
-
Do not install non-genuine wheels. If wheels other than genuine ones are installed, it may not be possible to install the tire pressure sensors.
When replacing a tire or wheel, always install the tire pressure sensor. The following combinations of tires, wheels, or tires and wheels are possible.
-
The tire pressure sensor from the old wheel is removed and it is installed to the new wheel.
-
Only a tire is replaced without replacing the tire pressure sensor and wheel.
-
A new tire pressure sensor is installed to a new wheel.
When installing a new tire pressure sensor, the ID signal code for the tire pressure sensor needs to be registered. For details on purchasing a tire pressure sensor and registering the ID signal of the tire pressure sensor, consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
