System Error Activation

When the warning light flashes, 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 sidewalls.



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.
