I've only had my new 2019 CX-9 GT for about a week and so far love just about everything about it. One of the exceptions is the TPMS system (the other is bumping my head on the liftgate). As I understand from reading here that Mazda has fairly recently gone to sensors in each wheel for the CX-9 (instead of the old rotational sensor system) but that there's no way to see individual tire pressures or even an indication of which tire is low - all we have is a 'low pressure' idiot light. The owner's manual doesn't say any different.
It's been a long time since I've owned a vehicle that didn't at least tell me which tire is low and most have allowed me to check individual tire pressures from the cabin. I'm really going to miss being able to monitor my pressures regularly (if I'm understanding this correctly). Fortunately I have a good air compressor with a long hose and reel that make it handy to check and fill the tires.
I'm amazed that a vehicle with this much technology would have such an antiquated TPMS system, especially since the move has been made to individual tire sensors.
