$50 for the GM download and another $190ish for the labor to install.

Which brings the total payment to get these tires on without dash lights to around $1200.
That's a bit excessive.

I may just have to do what Wilde Racing did then. Cuz it was fine when I only changed tire sizes.

Here's the mechs description.

"Customer states ABS light on at times. Inspect and Advise test code C0245 inspect & found wheel speed sensor frequency fault. Test drove vehicle and found front and rear wheel speeds different. Found different size tires on vehicle than original stock tires. Called GM tech line to get VCI number to reprogram ECM, EBCM and vehicle speed sensor. Reprogram ECM, EBCM and vehicle speed sensor with new calibration. Clear codes and road test vehicle to correct."

They had to reprogram three things for a new tire size

Crazy, but now it's working.

$170-Labor
$50-Calibration fee
$220-Total

just a way to make more money.
Why not just let the ECM determine tire/gears. and the BCM uses that information to determine if the front are going the same as that calibration indicates.


blah.
Good to see you got it going. But i'm not going to spend $200 on a dumbass light. I have a leaky window that it can fix.
