Mazda 6: Reset TPMS

The TPMS or tire pressure monitoring system notifies you when there’s low tire pressure. You first must ensure that all your tires are at the recommended pressure before trying to fix the problem. If the light persists after reinflating your tires, you may need to reset your TPMS.

1. Inflate your tires, including the spare tire, to the recommended tire pressure. You can find your recommended tire pressure on the driver’s door jamb placard or the fuel tank door.
2. Turn the ignition to the on position. If your Mazda has a keyless start, press the start/stop button, but do not press the brake pedal.
3. On the left side of the dash, next to the steering wheel, is the TPMS button. Press and hold the TPMS button until the yellow light flashes twice.
4. Release the button, and you will hear a beep. This is an indication that the sensor has reset.

Using a Scan Tool
