Default ABS INHOP and BRAKE light

Both lights will come on after a few minutes of driving but shut off when i cut the car off and startt it again. The car has 15in race stars on 275/60R15s so im guessing this is why this is happening? does resetting the wheel and tire size help this?

You're correct. A different tire size from stock will set those lights off after a certain perido after starting and moving. If you have TCS, that light should come as well.

Also, I have 17" tires still but the profile is a little bit different. My 3 lights will come on after I drive ABOVE about 72mph for around 5 minutes. They will all reset and work properly after a restart, and continue to work normally as long as I stay under about 72 mph.

You drastically changed your tire size, so it can't keep up at all.

Mine did the same thing when I had 28 inch tall tire out back with 26 inch tall tire in front. Was the car dynotuned with a different software, like hp tuners or efi live? If so I would not recommend using the predator it might erase your current tune.

I just put 28'' tires on the back of mine and i have this problem even after I used hp tuners to change tire size. my tuner said there is no fix to it, just to make sure I pull out my abs fuses other wise my brakes can fail. If someone knows a fix to this i am all ears
