A guy changed his rims on an 05 xB from the stock 15s to 16's with 205/45/16 tires and now all of a sudden it is giving him all sorts of warning lights.....traction control, stability and check engine lights.

Was wanting to see if anyone had ever ran into this problem or knew of anyone. Looking to see if it's an easy fix. Dealership wants $100 just to answer the question. Does anyone know if the tire/rim sizes can be programmed into the computer to adjust the system for the change?

 

are they balanced?

 

Your Low tire Pressue System is very unhappy with you. You need to swap the stems off of the stockers or go to a dealership and buy another set and then have the dealer reset the system. The $100 better be applicable towards the stems and reset or go find a different dealer.

 

ok here is what has happened...

I had bags and this is what happened to me you have rubbed through your abs sensor wiring.. with the tire and you have the abs,traction, and there is a third light can not remember now...

That was my experience and sounds the same with your buddy... good luck that pig tail is about 165.00 plus tax unless its under warranty then its free baby I said FREE!!!!!!

 

There is no tire pressure monitoring on the 1st gen xB.

 

I was just about to say that.

 

haha yeah

 

same thing happened to me when i put on my 501's i just took it to the dealer and they had to reset the sensors then everything was fine.

 

most likely a disconnected abs sensor....

or, if the wheels have been on for a while, like someone previously mentioned, you probably rubbed through an abs sensor wire.
