Tyres and Wheels
When inspecting or adjusting the tyre air pressures, do not apply excessive force to the stem part of the wheel unit. The stem part could be damaged.
Changing tyres and wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS to recognise a tyre pressure sensor's unique ID signal code whenever tyres or wheels are changed, such as changing to and from winter tyres.
Each tyre 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 Authorised Mazda Dealer change your tyre and complete ID signal code registration.
When having tyres changed at an Authorised Mazda Dealer
When an Authorised Mazda Dealer changes your vehicle's tyres, they will complete the tyre pressure sensor ID signal code registration.
When changing tyres yourself
If you or someone else changes tyres, you or someone else can also undertake the steps for the TPMS to complete the ID signal code registration.
-
After tyres have been changed, switch the ignition ON, then back to ACC or OFF.
-
Wait for about 15 minutes.
-
After about 15 minutes, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 25 km/h (16 mph) for 10 minutes and the tyre pressure sensor ID signal code will be registered automatically.
If the vehicle is driven within about 15 minutes of changing tyres, the tyre pressure monitoring system warning light will flash because the sensor ID signal code would not have been registered. If this happens, park the vehicle for about 15 minutes, after which the sensor ID signal code will register upon driving the vehicle for 10 minutes.
Replacing tyres and wheels
-
When replacing/repairing the tyres or wheels or both, have the work done by an Authorised Mazda Dealer, or the tyre pressure sensors may be damaged.
-
The wheels equipped on your Mazda are specially designed for installation of the tyre pressure sensors. Do not use non-genuine wheels, otherwise it may not be possible to install the tyre pressure sensors.
Be sure to have the tyre pressure sensors installed whenever tyres or wheels are replaced.
When having a tyre or wheel or both replaced, the following types of tyre pressure sensor installations are possible.
-
The tyre pressure sensor is removed from the old wheel and installed to the new one.
-
The same tyre pressure sensor is used with the same wheel. Only the tyre is replaced.
-
A new tyre pressure sensor is installed to a new wheel.
-
The tyre pressure sensor ID signal code must be registered when a new tyre pressure sensor is purchased. For purchase of a tyre pressure sensor and registration of the tyre pressure sensor ID signal code, consult an Authorised Mazda Dealer.
-
When reinstalling a previously removed tyre pressure sensor to a wheel, replace the grommet (seal between valve body/sensor and wheel) for the tyre pressure sensor.
