Tire Pressure Monitoring System

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.
