Please note that the TPMS is not a
substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if
under-inflation has not reached the level
to trigger illumination of the TPMS low
tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with
a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate
when the system is not operating
properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator is
combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a
malfunction, the telltale will flash for
approximately one minute and then
remain continuously illuminated. This
sequence will continue upon subsequent
vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists. When the
malfunction indicator is illuminated, the
system may not be able to detect or
signal low tire pressure as intended.
TPMS malfunctions may occur for a
variety of reasons, including the
installation of replacement or alternate
tires or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning
properly. Always check the TPMS
malfunction telltale after replacing one
or more tires or wheels on your vehicle to
ensure that the replacement or alternate
tires and wheels allow the TPMS to
continue to function properly.

To avoid false readings, the system
samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a result it will
not instantaneously register a rapid tire
deflation or blow out.

If there is a problem with the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS)
If the TPMS warning light flashes, there
may be a problem with the system.
Consult an Authorized Mazda Dealer to
have the system inspected.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System

In the following cases, the system cannot
recognize the tire pressures correctly and
the TPMS warning light may flash.

There is equipment or a device nearby
emitting radio signals the same as a tire
pressure sensor.

A metallic object such as a non-genuine
electronic device is installed near the
center of the dashboard (obstructs the
radio signals from the tire pressure
sensors to the receiver).

A device such as one of the following is
used in the cabin.

Electronic devices such as a computer.

Converter devices such as a DC-AC
converter.

There is a large accumulation of snow or
ice around the vehicle tires.

The battery in a tire pressure sensor is
dead.

A wheel not equipped with a tire
pressure sensor is used.
