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 side walls.

•

When using tire chains

Do not use non-genuine tire sealant. It 
may damage the tire pressure sensor.

NOTE

A tire pressure sensor is not installed 
to the temporary spare tire. The 
warning light will flash continuously 
while the temporary spare tire is being 
used.
