The wheel sensor wire is not protected. The 4X4 could have damaged the wire or one of the connectors.

I find it easier to measure diameter to learn the variation. I don't need to have the wheel off the ground and I don't have to find the high point of the tread to get an accurate measurement from wheel to wheel.

I'll look it up but would you have the wheel sensor diagram handy?

If you look at the back of the hub you will see the wire running to near the top of the fender well. Similar on both ends.

Update:

Yesterday coming home from work , ran some errands and no warning lights. This morning went to work and still nothing.

How possible is it that the computer had a delay to adjust to the wheel swap????

Could also be totally unrelated. Back to one of the posts earlier, is your battery fully charged?

Nothing lets me suspect a dying battery but I will add testing to the list.

This is what came out.

-Anti lock brakes: 5eri/steering
-Angle sensor (lws) signal
-Relative: Steering wheel central position unidentified
-Instrument panel: BD/electronic brake balance

Then this one that worries me a little more: 5F3A : Transfer case internal

We also noticed that the front 18 rims almost rub on the callipers. The stick-on balancing weights flew off cause they probably hit the callipers on the first rotation. The rear ones have plenty of room. Should the space between the rim and the calliper be the same all around?
