If the tyre-pressure light is on in your Mazda CX-5 Mk2 (KF, 2017–present) after adjusting pressures or changing wheels, it usually just needs a short drive to relearn. The CX-5 uses a direct TPMS — a sensor in each wheel — and the reset is automatic once the pressures are right.
How the CX-5’s TPMS Works
Each wheel has a pressure sensor that reports to the car, so a low corner shows on the display. There’s no button or menu to confirm — you correct the pressures and the system relearns as you drive.
How to Reset the CX-5 Mk2 TPMS
- Set all four tyres to the correct pressure cold — the figures are on the label in the driver’s door opening.
- Drive the vehicle for about 5 minutes, keeping above roughly 25 km/h (15 mph).
- The system relearns the corrected pressures and the warning clears.
If the Warning Stays On
- Re-check every tyre, including the spare if it’s a monitored full-size wheel.
- One tyre keeps dropping — look for a slow puncture; the system is doing its job.
- A steady-flashing TPMS light points to a sensor fault and needs a tyre shop’s tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CX-5 TPMS need a tool to reset?
Not for a normal reset — set the pressures and drive. A tool is only needed if sensors were replaced or swapped.
How long until the light goes out?
Usually within about 5 minutes of driving above 25 km/h after correcting the pressures.
Why did the light come on in the cold?
Pressure drops as temperature falls. Top up to the door-label figure and drive.
The light keeps flashing — low pressure?
A persistent flash usually means a sensor fault rather than low pressure — have the sensors checked.
If a fault code is stored, look it up on autodtcs.com. To clear a service reminder, see our CX-5 Mk2 service reset guide.
