Default abs / traction control problem

so i finally got around to installing my new arp studs so i could mount up my new 18x10.5s all the way around.

the fronts were no problem, just beat out the old and pull up the new.

the rears seemed to go ok. i removed the sensor, and used that hole to pass the old studs out and install the new ones. everything seemd to work great and i replaced the sensors after the studs went in.

got the wheels and tires mounted up and went for a test drive.

got "abs inop" and "asr off" lights on and stayed on during the entire test drive, including 3 engine stops and restarts.

trying flipping the asr switch, but that didn't work.

do i need to replace one or both sensors? how do i check to see if they are working properly??

any other advice?

thanks
tony

You need to reprogram the PCM for the larger wheels. I'm guessing the overall diameter of your new wheels/tires is larger than what you replaced. Thus, the wheels speed sensors are freaking out.
