When Driving
Tire Pressure Monitoring System
System Error Activation
When the warning light
fl
ashes, there
may be a system malfunction. Consult an
Authorized Mazda Dealer.
A system error activation may occur in the
following cases:
     
When there is equipment or a device
near the vehicle using the same radio
frequency as that of the tire pressure
sensors.
     
When a metallic device such as a non-
genuine navigation system is equipped
near the center of the dashboard, which
may block radio signals from the tire
pressure sensor to the receiver unit.
     
When using the following devices in the
vehicle that may cause radio interference
with the receiver unit.
   

 
A digital device such as a personal
computer.
   

 
A current converter device such as a
DC-AC converter.
     
When excess snow or ice adheres to the
vehicle, especially around the wheels.
     
When the tire pressure sensor batteries
are exhausted.
     
When using a wheel with no tire
pressure sensor installed.
     
When using tires with steel wire
reinforcement in the side walls.
     
When using tire chains.
Tires and Wheels
CAUTION
When inspecting or adjusting the tire
air pressures, do not apply excessive
force to the stem part of the wheel unit.
The stem part could be damaged.
Changing tires and wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS
to recognize a tire pressure sensor's unique
ID signal code whenever tires or wheels
are changed, such as changing to and from
winter tires.
NOTE
Each tire pressure sensor has a unique
ID signal code. The signal code must be
registered with the TPMS before it can
work. The easiest way to do it is to have an
Authorized Mazda Dealer change your tire
and complete ID signal code registration.
When having tires changed at an
Authorized Mazda Dealer
When an Authorized Mazda Dealer
changes your vehicle's tires, they will
complete the tire pressure sensor ID signal
code registration.
