BRAKE, ABS, VDC OFF, SLIP light on.What do I do?
 
So I got 4 brand new tires put on today and after driving about a mile away from Tire Kingdom my BRAKE, ABS, VDC OFF, and SLIP Lights came on and wont go away. If I turn the car off and back on it will go away until I drive about a mile. Did Tire Kingdom mess up? Should I take my Z to the dealership? I am completely clueless. Please help!:icon14:

Check your brake fluid level

What size tires did you get?

i checked the brake fluid level and it looks fine. I guess i can add some to top it off. i know i got 40r in the front when it says to get 50r. could that really be the problem? i thought of that but to set off all those lights is a little extreme i think. BTW For the rear tires i got 45r which is what the car calls for.

The car is finicky about having enough brake fluid.
Just make sure it's at the top

Did they not resync your TPMS after installing the new tires?

Can you give us the exact tire size for front and rear. If the diameter difference between and front and rear aren't close to being the same, it will throw off the traction control/abs.. ect.

You can't go outside and look real quick? That is a crazy size tire on the rear, you sure thats right? I'm think the diameter differences are causing your traction control to go crazy....

It's obviously a tire problem. You changed your tires to the incorrect size and the lights went on within a mile, what else can it be?

Akbubba47 06-11-2013 08:12 PM

Front should be 40 rear should be 35. That's the reason ur traction control is failing.

One of your wheel speed sensors could of been damaged.

That's not true, lots of people run different sizes than that.. some run 35 front, 30 rear, 30 all the way around, ect.. The key is the fronts and rear need to be close to the same diameter... If he is running a 40 front and 50 rear, his rears are probably over 1" bigger in diameter, thus causing his problem.

IDK why he starts a thread asking for help and can't even give us simple info like what size tires he had installed... :confused:
