I changed my rims and these lights come on

I start my car and all is fine, but when i start to drive it these lights come on. What is going on? Do i have to reset my tpms?



I drive an 08 G37S coupe, and i put on the stance sc-5's.

The check engine is on from the mxp res test pipes i installed, so dont mind that.

May want to post what car you have and whay rims/tires you put on. The only tire related light should be tire pressure sensor...which all seem to work.
Something is fishy. April fools was yesterday lol

Changing your rims should not cause all of those warning lights to come on, especially the "Service Engine Soon" light. For that one the manual says to make sure the GAS cap is on properly and if it is then you could have an Emissions issue. Good luck with the others cuz that is really strange.

It looks like an ABS sensor (speed sensor) issue. Make sure that they are all plugged in and none of the wires got severed upon installation. They will be cables going from the lower frame rails to the wheel hubs. Good luck

I had the same thing pop up for me... you want to address this asap because those lights usually come on when you apply the brakes and youll feel the abs actuator running (at least in my case) if that goes on for too long youll burn out your pump costing you about $2k... what I had done was change my front tires to a really low pro size I think it was something like 235 25 19 and the rears ran 245 35 19...

things to check
1. brake fluid is topped off
2. your brakes pads are full
3. tire speed sensors are working
4. check your rim and tire specs if it is a really weird combo you will feel the abs actuator pump when applying the brakes
5. if all else fails run the stock setup with the stock rims and tire set up

For #4, you basically want to maintain the same/similar rolling diameter of the tire. So compare the diameter of stock to the new setup and ensure it is not too out of place for front and rear. I did not know where could be permanent damage from this though. I think mine eventually went away, but I got the right close to spec rolling diameter a week later.
