Reset Mazda Tire Pressure Sensor TPMS Light
Learn how to reset the Mazda TPMS light. Mazda TPMS indicator light will come on and stay illuminated if one or more of the tires on your Mazda has low air pressure. Add air to the low tire, and if the tire keeps losing air, get it repaired.
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 regardless. Recommended tire pressure for your Mazda can be found on the driver’s door jamb or the fuel tank door.
-
We recommend using a digital tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.
- Turn on the ignition. If you have a keyless start Mazda, press the Start/Stop button but don’t press the brake pedal. All the instrument cluster lights, including the TPMS warning light (tire with exclamation symbol), will turn on.
- 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 flashes twice.
- Soon after the TPMS light flashes, you will hear a beep. This confirms that the TPMS light on your Mazda has been reset.
TPMS stays on bur tire pressure is correct
In some cases, the TPMS warning light may come and stay on even though the tires don’t need any more air, meaning they are all inflated to 35 PSI. The most common problems that can trigger the low tire pressure warning light are:
- TPMS light on a Mazda could come on due to a defective TPMS sensor.
- You are using a spare tire.
If you are experiencing any of the cases 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 and have a sensor, the most likely cause is a defective TPMS sensor (a common problem) or a malfunction with the TPMS system, which is not a very common problem.
TPMS light flashing
If the TPMS light is flashing or it won’t go off, it could be due to a drained TPMS sensor battery or a TPMS system problem.
You can use a TPMS diagnostic scanner to troubleshoot the Mazda TPMS system and retrieve the error codes. 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
