Reset Mazda Tire Pressure Sensor TPMS Light
In this article, you will learn how to reset the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS). If one or more tires have low air pressure on your Mazda, the TPMS light indicator will come on and stay illuminated until the issue has been resolved. You have to adjust the tire pressure to the specified pressure, and if the air pressure still decreases and you suspect that there is a puncture, it’s best to send it to a tire shop to fix the problem.
Procedure
Inflate all the tires to the recommended tire pressure. The typical tire pressure is 35 PSI. The tires are recommended to cool down, but the procedure will work. The specification label is located on the driver’s door jamb or the fuel tank door for all Mazda cars.
For accurate tire pressure readings, we recommend the use of a digital tire pressure gauge.

2. Turn on the ignition. If you have a keyless start Mazda, press the Start/Stop button, but don’t apply the brake pedal. All the instrument cluster lights, including the TPMS warning light (tire with exclamation symbol), will turn on.
3. Press the TPMS switch on the left side of the dash next to the steering wheel. Hold the TPMS switch pressed until you see the TPMS flash twice.
4. You will hear a beep Soon after the TPMS light flashes. This confirms that the TPMS light on your Mazda has been reset.
TPMS stays on, but tire pressure is correct
In some cases, the TPMS warning light may come and stay on even though the tires don’t need more air, meaning they are all inflated to 35 PSI. The most common problems that can trigger the low tire pressure warning light are:
- A defective TPMS sensor could cause the TPMS light to turn on a Mazda.
- You are using a spare tire.
- The TMPS sensor’s battery ran out.
If you are encountering any of the instances above, the TPMS tire pressure light will stay on even if you add air to your tires. Check the size of the tires. Make sure they all have a TPMS sensor installed.
If the tires are inflated correctly and fitted with a sensor, the most common cause is a defective TPMS sensor or a failure with the TPMS system, which is an unusual problem.
TPMS light flashing
A weak battery for your TMPS sensor will result in tire warning light indicator to flash, or the TMPS light won’t go off.
Using a TPMS diagnostic scanner to troubleshoot your Mazda’s tire pressure monitor system, you can easily diagnose, retrieve the error codes, and identify and locate which tire has the faulty TMPS sensor. This will allow you to troubleshoot the TPMS light yourself.
The YOUCANIC Full System Scanner can read and clear codes on any vehicle’s Tire Pressure Management System, including Mazda. It can also diagnose all control modules of any vehicle.

2018 Miata owner… mine doesn’t have a reset button, either.
I have a 2019 mx5 (Miata) that doesn’t have the reset button to the left of the steering wheel like my 2017 did so not an option. What now?
Worked on my Mazda 3 auto. Thanks
The article should specify models. For example this is the procedure for 2016 and older Mazda CX-5s but is NOT applicable to 2017 and new Mazda CX-5s.
This worked on my 2016 CX-5, thank you very much!!
Hi thanks, for the information
