Speedo doesn't work after wheel swap

Has your car received a software update at the stealership since the last summer ?? Either that or marginal wheelspeed sensors is the only source of problems

Car hasn't been back to the stealership since I bought it in 2012. If there is any update, might it affect my tune?

If you have a tune and take the car back to the dealer. They do a flash up date. Your tune is gone. You have to remove the tune to save it before you take the car in. Or TELL them DO NOT FLASH THE COMPUTER! Alot of times, they don't listen to you anyway and flash it.

So for an update. After about three days of driving with no speedo and other goodies that come with. Engine threw the P0500 vehicle speed sensor malfunction... think something could actually been wrong with the sensor or is this just a by product of the bigger wheels?

If you didn't do what SouthArk suggested, do that. Otherwise, find out what wheel speed sensor went bad and replace it. I suspect what you will find is something knocked the wheel sensor out of alignment.


Not to be a difficult person, but did you even look at the sensors? Hory chit batman, if all that stuff wasn't working on my car, I'd have it up in the air, checking for issues, not continuing to drive it with a non-functioning ABS and speedo.... can you say 'LAWSUIT' if you had been in an accident? Great googly moogly dude, fix your chit... don't post on the inter webs that you are continuing to drive with stuff not working right...
