Traction control? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

chevelless502 · 09-16-2018, 10:23 PM

Last week i put a pair of 315/35R20 tires on the rear of my 2010 SS. After i got them on i took it for a test drive. The first time i pulled out on the highway and started to shift thru the gears i got a reduced engine power warning and the traction light came on. I took it home and reset the code with my scanner. Drove it again and was fine that day. Next day i had it out and same issue. It will come and go now. I checked the speed with my gps and its right on the money. Think its the tires or is it just a coincidence and i have other issues?

Put the old tires back on the car, you'll know. Problems gone, it was the tires.

Manual or auto? Do you have a throttle controller installed?

What does it do when you turn it off

The rear tires have to be the same diameter as the fronts, or else traction control will continue to issue warnings.

acammer · 09-17-2018, 07:10 AM

What size tires do you have up front?

Its a manual. I do have a throttle controller on it. I hadnt thought of that. Ive heard where they can cause these issues. Thank you for suggesting that.

I can restart it but its still in limp mode. I have to use my scanner to clear it.

The rears and fronts are the same height. I have 245/45R20 on the fronts.

Agree - same height, shouldn't be an issue. Perhaps you damaged wiring to the speed sensor when changing the tires?

I hope you aren't running the OEM wheels with the 315 tires. That in itself could cause issues.
