Chemarrie Member 58 Member For: 12y 2m 9d Gender: Female Location: Blacktown Posted 05/01/13 11:11 AM Share Posted 05/01/13 11:11 AM I own a xr6t ba 2004 manual and today I went for a drive to bondi after 10mins I saw my (ABS, ! , Boost/Skid) lights all came on I pulled over turned car off and on again drove off the lights were gone until mins later this happened a few times today. I am worried something is wrong.I put new wheels on the back yesterday surely that could have nothing to do with the warning signals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_mate Member 767 Member For: 19y 27d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane Posted 05/01/13 11:59 AM Share Posted 05/01/13 11:59 AM Pretty sure if your wheel sizing is too different from front to rear, or from left to right even (rolling diameter is different) the ABS system hates it and will cause you problems. I know it happens on FG's.Do you have a flash tuner to check codes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemarrie Member 58 Member For: 12y 2m 9d Gender: Female Location: Blacktown Posted 05/01/13 09:55 PM Author Share Posted 05/01/13 09:55 PM Yeh I have temp 20's on the back and stock 17's on the front as I need to purchase Spacers (Another issue) FML....Is it dangerous to have different sizes for about a week on?also it is showing the skid light with it also so u think its from the wheels being different sizes aswell.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the wheel speed sensors are indicating different speeds caused by differet sized rims traction control switches itself off I think... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah...I'd certainly recommend it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingnut Member 573 Member For: 16y 7m 9d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/13 10:41 PM Share Posted 05/01/13 10:41 PM Should you consider trading in the 20s and getting some 19s to avoid the use of spacers? These cars can be dangerous at the best of times so mitigating that risk could be your best option. Plus I think 19s on a BA at the right height look perfect.
