TPMS warning light won't go off

[Clayton]

I had my winter tires installed and now my TPMS light is on. I was told to reset but I don't have a TPMS reset button. I drive a 2015 Mazda 5 van.

Any suggestions?

Winter wheels don't have TPMS sensors?

Winter wheels don't have TPMS sensors?

They're still alloy rims, just winter tires.

If you don't have TPMS sensors, you'll have to live with the light

There was no light on when I had my summers on. The winters were already mounted on alloy rims.

so the winters are on a different set of rims? Do the winter rims have the TPMS sensors?

You guys got TPMS?

Canadian Mazda5 edition is probably one of the last cars here that came without the system.... and honestly think I like it better not dealing with this twice a year.

OOORRR. You can do what we did and just buy sensors for the winters tires.

Ignore it? I've put a piece of tape over mine and just carry a $1 gauge to check air pressure like we always did.

If you truly want to fix it, you have to make sure each wheel has its TPMS sensor in it with a good battery. Then you need to fork over $100 to a shop to reprogram it. If you don't have the sensors, you need them to pull the tires off the wheel, add the $50 sensor to each wheel, re-mount the tires,re-balance everything and reprogram. Probably $500 total?

Piece 'o tape and a Wally World air gauge is sounding mighty nice.

I don't know about the Mazda 5, but for other Mazdas, programming isn't needed if you buy the right sensors. They just sync up automatically. But yeah, you needed to get them put in when the tires were mounted.
