Mazda 3 & Mazda 2 – 2007-2021
The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) monitors air pressure for each tire. If tire pressure is too low or too high in one or more tires, the TPMS will turn on a warning light on the vehicle’s instrument panel and sound a warning beep for about three seconds.
If there is a system malfunction or a spare tire is in use, the warning light will ash.
Tire pressure sensors installed on each wheel send tire pressure data by radio signal to the receiver unit in the vehicle. is system may not function properly under the following conditions:
• When there is equipment or a device near the vehicle using the same radio frequency as that of the tire pressure sensors; • When a large metallic object (i.e., a large electric household appliance or a desktop computer) is placed on the
right side of the rear seat, which may block radio signals from the tire pressure sensor to the receiver unit; • When using a digital device, such as a personal computer, or a current converter device that may cause radio interference with the receiver unit; • When excess snow or ice adheres to the vehicle, especially around the wheels; • When tire pressure sensor batteries are exhausted; • When using a wheel with no tire pressure sensor installed, such as a spare tire; • When using tires with steel wire reinforcement in the sidewalls, and; • When using tire chains.
TIRE PRESSURE MONTOR WARNING LIGHT
CAUTION: Do not tilt or use excessive side force when checking air pressure or in ating the tire or the tire pressure sensor may be damaged.
When the tire pressure warning light illuminates and the warning beep sound is heard for about three seconds, check tire pressure and adjust as necessary. When pressure is adjusted on hot tires to the cold inflation pressure, the warning light/ beep may turn on after the tires cool and pressure drops below specification. Also an illuminated warning light resulting from the tire air pressure dropping due to cold ambient temperature may go on if the ambient temperature rises. In this case, it will also be necessary to adjust tire air pressure. If the warning light illuminates again even after tire pressures are adjusted, the tire may be punctured.

Figure 1: Here is an exploded view of the tire pressure sensor. This is how to remove the wheel and valve cap. You need to be careful when breaking the tire bead with the tire pressure sensor installed as this normally could damage the sensor. Be sure to always push the sensor so that it is completely inside the tire to prevent any damage.
minutes and then verify that it goes out. If the warning light is ashing and a spare tire is not in use, there is a malfunction in the TPMS system. See appropriate manufacturer service information.
TPMS RESET PROCEDURES
NOTE: Whenever tires or wheels are changed, including changing to and from winter tires, where a new sensor is installed, the tire pressure sensor’s unique ID signal code must be registered with the TPMS system. Tire pressure sensor ID registration is achieved automatically once a vehicle has been stationary for 15 minutes or more and then is driven at a speed of at least 16 mph (25 km/h) for 10 minutes or longer.
• When the tire pressure warning light illuminates and the warning beep sound is heard, check tire pressure and adjust as necessary. A er adjusting the tire air pressures, it may require some time for the warning light to go out. If the warning light remains illuminated, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph (25 km/h) for 10 minutes and then verify that it goes out.
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR REGISTRATION
NOTE: ere is no practical di erence between the Mazda-Modular Diagnostic System (M-MDS) scan tool method of registration and the non-scan tool method. e M-MDS scan tool method simply provides the ability to read the tire pressure sensor ID changes directly. With both methods, the vehicle must remain stationary for 15 minutes and then be driven for 10 minutes.
Without the M-MDS scan tool:
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then turn it back to LOCK position; 2. Leave the vehicle with the engine o and wait for 15 minutes or more.
NOTE: If the vehicle is driven before 15 minutes of changing tires, the TPMS warning light will ash because the sensor ID signal code will not have been registered yet. If this happens,
park the vehicle for 15 minutes or more, a er which the sensor ID signal code will register upon driving the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer. 3. After 15 minutes, drive a vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph (25 km/h) for 10 minutes or longer. Tire pressure sensor ID registration is completed when the TPMS warning light turns OFF.
With the M-MDS scan tool:
NOTE: Use the LDS (laptop PC). e PDS (pocket PC) does not support wheel unit ID registration and monitoring wheel unit ID.
NOTE: When using the M-MDS scan tool to perform ID registration, record the initial ID data and verify the data has changed a er driving for 10 minutes or more.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, then turn it back to LOCK position; 2. Connect the M-MDS scan tool and identify the vehicle; 3. A er the vehicle is identi ed, select the following items from the initial screen of the M-MDS. Select “BODY”, then “TPMS FUNCTION” and then
NOTE: Before driving, record the initial ID data stored in the scan tool, to verify the data has changed. 4. Select “WU_ID REGISTRATION;” 5. Leave the vehicle with the engine o and wait for 15 minutes or more; 6. Verify the TPMS warning light turns
ON and OFF in 0.5-second repeat cycles, and; 7. A er 15 minutes or more, drive the vehicle at a speed of at least 16 mph (25 km/h) for 10 minutes or longer. e tire pressure sensor ID registration is complete when the TPMS warning light turns OFF.
DEMOUNTING/MOUNTING PROCEDURES
CAUTION: e tire should be demounted from the wheel using the tire changer manufacturer’s instructions. Use the following information to avoid damage during the demounting/mounting procedures.

See RESET PROCEDURES.
NOTE: The TPMS system is not affected by wheel and tire rotation.
NOTE: Perform tire pressure adjustment when the tires are cold. Tire pressure will vary according to the tire temperature — approximately 1.5 psi (10 kPa) change for every 10 degrees. Let the vehicle stand for one hour or only drive it one mile (1.6 km) or less before adjusting the tire pressures.
TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
CAUTION: The use of non-genuine tire sealants is strictly prohibited for vehicles equipped with TPMS. Other tire sealants can clog tire pressure sensors.
CAUTION: When reinstalling a previously removed tire pressure sensor to a wheel, replace the grommet for the tire pressure sensor.
NOTE: Factory wheels are specially designed for installation of tire pressure sensors. Do not use non-genuine wheel or it may not be possible to install tire pressure sensors.
Removal
1. When replacing a wheel or tire, tire pressure sensors must be set up in one of the following ways: • Remove the sensor from the old wheel and install it to the new wheel; • Keep the same wheel with the tire pressure sensor and replace only the tire; • Use a new wheel and sensor. ( e new sensor will need to be registered.) 2. Remove the wheel. Remove valve cap. (See Figure 1.) Remove the valve core and bleed air from the tire;
Be sure to always push the sensor so that it is completely inside the tire to prevent any damage. 3. Remove the nut. Push the tire valve completely into the tire; 4. Position the shoe (bead breaker) of the tire changer 0.40-0.78 inches (10-20 mm) from the outer edge of the wheel and break both tire beads; 5. Remove the bead from one side of the wheel; 6. Remove the tire pressure sensor, and; 7. Remove seal washer and seal.
Installation
1. Install the seal washer and seal;
NOTE: While maintaining contact between the sensor and the rim, manually start to screw the valve nut for a few turns. 2. Insert the tire pressure sensor valve into the valve hole so that the polyurethane

CAUTION: Do not tilt or use excessive side force when checking air pressure or inflating the tire or the tire pressure sensor may be damaged. 6. Fill the tire with air. Verify the valve nut tightening torque; 7. Install valve core and cap; 8. Install tire and wheel assembly, and; 9. When a new sensor is installed, the
ID code will need to be registered. See

KUMHO TIRE USA www.kumhotireusa.com Alligator valve cap cuts pressure check time
The Alligator V2B nonreturn valve cap reduces the time it takes to check tire pressure levels on commercial vehicles. The V2B non-return cap does not have to be removed for checking air pressure levels or airing up tires, which makes it easier and faster to regularly check tire pressure levels. It fits all standard valves, can be screwed into place by hand and the end face is dirt- and water-repellent. The double seal valve cap has two built-in heat resistant grommets, which prevent air pressure loss even when the valve core is damaged or dirty.
