abs/ebd problem.
RE: dashboard lights - Toms306 - 04-11-2012
Is the spare a lot smaller than the others? If so the ABS sensor will be reading faster than the other 3, and thinking theres a fault....

Could be y then im on 205 40 17 i think the spare is a high 14 but its smaler
RE: dashboard lights - Niall - 04-11-2012
So youve got 17s on 3 corners and a 14 on the other? in which case, thats your reason...one wheel is spinning faster than the others

Not necessarily, if the rolling circumference of both the 17's and 14 is the same then there will be no difference. Having said that there is likely to be a small difference but I'd doubt it'd be enough to upset the ABS? More likely to have knocked the sensor when swapping the tyre?

As Martin says....but I guess the 14 is a 185/55 anyway. As people can't seem to keep to the standard 65 profile!

i think you would be shocked as to how sensitive they are! But yes i see what your saying. Even still, i reckon there will be a difference.
The sensors on them are actually really robust...almost a bit too robust if you ever have to replace one. Unless hes trapped a cable, i reckon its difference in wheel size
