Default VSC & Traction Control light on after new wheels

So two other lights popped up all of a sudden after I installed the wheels. The tire pressure one I understand but are the other two supposed to be on? Is it bc I three wheel a lot bc that's usually when I notice traction control going on but now it's just permanently on..

Check that your ABS wheel sensors are all connected and not cut.

i know this sounds silly but did you have the tire shop put the tpms on the new wheels?? Reason I say this is because i recently had the newer rims mounted and balanced on my is250. well the tire shop forgot to put my tpms on my new rims. the same lights came on for me. just a though.

Ya I don't have tpms on my car. Maybe that's why!

Vsc and traction light have nothing to do with tpms sensor. I look for any lose or rip wire near around the hub maybe like abs. Is there a check engine light too?

Stupid question... Are the tires on the left and right the same size? Usually those lights go on if the tires are rotating at two different speeds

Check to make sure the wire behind the drivers side front wheel is connected or its not ripped...i forget what its for but it might throw some lights on dash

(its behind the caliper/brake assembly)
