Hey guys I recently had my dear tires changed and after the second time driving it with the new tired I am getting a ABS, EBR, ESP malfunction on the dash. My immediate thought is the VSS but being that I just got new tires I was wondering if that had something to do with it???

Also I burnt out to get the tires broken in. Fyi

Those lights come on when you lose traction for too long. I got them in the snow once and was spinning in place. Should go away after you turn the car off for a bit.

How long is a bit? I drive it everyday about 10minutes or so each time and my car stays off for 12+ hours. Also is the steering supposed to feel stiffer?

Oh, thats a problem then. Mine reset after turning the car off for a few min.

Okay here's the scoop let me know if you have any ideas. I got my tires changed, and did a burnout by stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time. The car ran and drove fine after that, it wasn't until the next day that this issue started happening. I can take it apart tomorrow and take a look I am just not sure what to look for

Hello Euro, sorry to bring a past post back to life but did you ever get this fixed? Im currently experiencing this issue.

EUROwnd

yes it turned out that my alternator went bad and had to be replaced

Mercker412

So you didn't have to replace no esp module right? The mechanic advised my esp module is fried and needs replacing to fix problem.

EUROwnd

i only replaces the alternator after that I never saw those lights again

Ok thanks for info bro.

I am perhaps casting my brain back in time too far but in some of my earlier cars there would be issues with ABS and ESP lights coming on after some front end work.
As I recall one way to get things back in line was to start the car and turn the wheel all the way left, then all the way right to the stops and then repeat.
Don't know if this applies here but...?
