New 18" Rims on 97Calais, "LOW TRAC" Keeps Activating

[11gothevt11]

What's a Reco ABS Module?
Do you know any way of adjusting/calibrating the traction control? Raising the spring guard? Really hoping I'm not going to have to sell these rims and go back to the 16s...

Insead of buying new i bought a recondition one....
Seller with a great history but this problem has never been fixed
I don't understand how your car is low trac light is coming on

Does it loose power when the light goes on??????????????????????????
Can you just turn the traction control off?

Haha gotcha. Ok so what problem hasn't been fixed?

Yes it loses power, and then comes on again about twice a second. I can turn trac off but sure would be nice to have it working.

I'm searching right now how to heighten the springs.. hoping this might work.

Cheers

Yeah not bloody likely huh? Might consider just selling the new rims and going back to the old set..

Electronics, how do they work? ####.

Take it to a tyre shop and get the right profile tyres fitted would be a good start. If you run the wrong parts then expect problems to occur.

 

[aceslick911]

Yeah about time for a service so might do this properly. Will report back the findings.

The 245/45"s might be a little big for the front hence the gaurd scrubbing, but I can not imagine it being an issue in the rear.
I reckon you may have knocked something when changing tyres, put the stockos back on and see if it does the same thing; if it does you've got an electrical problem.

Hmm yeah might try that before doing anything dramatic. Takes a bit of effort for 4 tires, oh well gotta suck it up haha.

have you gotten the wheels balanced?

No. Can unbalanced wheels cause these traction issues?
