TRAC OFF blinks after installing new tires
 
TRAC OFF has been blnking when driving, after getting new tires. Do you think the tire shop mess something up? I pressed the traction button but it still blinks.

Possibly they knocked a speed sensor? Does your ABS work?

I dis/reconnected the batter and it cleared those warning lights. Should I assume everything is well?

They're blinking again. If the sensor is knocked, is it an expensive repair? Tire shop claims they're innocent obviously. :rolleyes:

Depends. On my 97 Landcruiser it was very expensive. I bought a used one and it was a bear to get installed due to the corrosion on the original. In the end it did not work, proly due to my banging on it.

I would talk to the shop manager or owner first before attempting to fix myself. Can you pull any codes?

My manuals are enroute, when they arrive I can give you some better advice as I did not encounter this with my prior 400 (obviously the 300 5spd did not have trac)

Pull any codes? What do you mean? Sorry I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to cars.

Are the rear tires the same size as the front tires?
If you have larger, or smaller diameter tires in the rear, compared to the front. the computer will notice the difference in the sensors, and turn on the light to let you know it's can't read them correctly.
