Some Mazda CX-3 owners report experiencing persistent low tire air pressure light issues even when tire air levels are correct. These problems may occur if the vehicle hasn't been driven since the tires were aired, as the TPMS requires movement to verify proper pressure. Common causes for the warning light to remain illuminated include leaking tires, wheels that no longer hold air, or a malfunctioning tire pressure monitoring system. Immediate action is crucial when the amber TPMS light appears; owners should safely stop the vehicle and check the tire pressure on all wheels, including the spare, as driving on under-inflated tires can lead to overheating and tire failure. Additionally, a blinking TPMS light may indicate sensor failure, prompting an inspection for any tire damage. Owners can reset the TPMS by ensuring tires are inflated to the correct pressure and following specific reset procedures, which may include using a TPMS reset button found in some models.
