Ve Calais wheel change.

[sersev]

Hi all, had some trouble today with my new rims.Replaced 20 inch rims with the standard 18 inch ones, as soon as l left the tyre place, had all these faults come up. Abs fault, traction control fault, contact dealer.went back to tyre place,guys from holden dealership came in & hooked it up to the scanner, told me have to do a tech 2 via the net at the dealership. Ended up taking the rims back off, put the old ones back on & got home in limp mode. Is this normal for a rim size chnage? Thanks.

Wrong size tyres? So the diameter was messed up and uneven on both sides? And that's odd

[sersev]

standard size is 245/45/18. new size 245/35/20. Also the tyre guys got an ss ute with 22 inch rims on it, he said this is the first time he came across something like this, hes is a 09 mine an 06 dont know if holden changed anything between the 3 years.

Did u get a faultcode from the guy? N disconnect battery for 10 mins see how u go

Errors came up on my Calais when I had to use the stupid space saver spare in place of a 20" wheel. Have since bought an alloy (same as front wheel) for the spare.

The errors fixed themselves after taking the space saver wheel off again though.

Didnt get a fault code off the guy but did disconnect the battery for well over an hour still getting errors even with the standard rims back on.

damaged wheel sensor?

[kizza50]

Has to be damaged wheel sensor,

[sersev]

I actually thought it could be that too but how do l check it. are they on all wheels?

[kizza50]

They are on every wheel, wired how it only happened with wheel swap

[sersev]

oh well, might have to get them checked. Thanks for the help guys.

Could have been a fluke. Tech 2 will be able to diagnose. VEs are becoming famous for dud wheel sensors.

[sersev]

will take it into the dealer in the morning.
heres a pic of it anyway

20" g8's? Prefer the machined look
