Tire Monitoring System: Service and Repair

Changing Tires and Wheels
The following procedure allows the TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) to recognize a tire pressure sensor's unique ID signal code whenever tires or wheels are changed.

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 the tire and complete the ID signal code registration.

When someone other than an Authorized Mazda Dealer changes the tires

Complete the following steps for TPMS ID signal code registration:

1. After tires have been changed, switch the ignition ON, then back to ACC or OFF.

2. Wait for about 15 minutes.

3. After about 15 minutes, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph (25 km/h) for 10 minutes and the tire pressure sensor ID signal code will be registered automatically.

NOTE:
If the vehicle is driven within about 15 minutes of changing tires, the tire 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.
