A version of the Mazda CX90 imported to Latin America.

Greetings everyone:

I was hoping someone could tell me how to install or activate the TPMS sensor in my 2026 Mazda Cx-90.


I had a flat tyre this morning and the system didn't give me any warning because the TPMS sensor isn't mounted on the tires in this version. The TPMS system is crucial, and I would like to have it installed.

Warm regards

Complete aftermarket TPM systems are something to consider, along with the possibility of obtaining OEM sensors and adapting them to fit your car.

In my opinion, the simplest option would be to install an aftermarket TPMS system.

It definitely wouldn't be that easy to equip a Latin American CX-90 with TPMS sensors in the tires. The capability would also typically have to be enabled on the car, possibly using Mazda Diagnostic and Repair Software (MDARS) or a comparable program. That will only function if the device is not locked to a specific region and if it is compatible with the software and hardware of the car.


Adding or replacing parts generally won't help if the vehicle's software or hardware doesn't support TPMS. If my memory serves me well, the TPMS and keyless entry wireless receivers are housed in the same module. Whether or not your keys function, among other things, may depend on whether or not the Latin American module supports TPMS. If it doesn't, then you may need to replace it with one that does.

While researching this topic, I came across some online discussions pertaining to the Philippine market, where Mazda also chose not to include TPMS. No one in those discussions managed to activate TPMS on their Mazda.

You might have to locate a helpful Mazda technician who is willing to fiddle with the MDARS settings if you want an authoritative response, though. Unlike the Volkswagens sold in the US, which used indirect TPMS, I don't think this is very likely. These could be configured to use TPMS sensors through ODIS, which is VW's version of MDARS.

I don't require them, so you can have them.

Was there a flashing or steady light from the TPMS? It might be a sign of a problem if it happened. Remember that there are some scenarios in which the TPMS system might miss the signs of low tyre pressure.

None of the lights were visible to me.
I appreciate your help.

Unexpectedly, the CX-90 lacks TPMS in certain regions such as the Philippines and Latin America.

For whatever reason, Sancocho2001's account used to have the Dominican flag next to it when he created this discussion. His CX-90 might not have TPMS if that's his location.

My goodness, I get it now. Thank you for clarifying and explaining it; I had trouble understanding that at first. Please accept my apologies if I led you astray
