VSC and ABS light flashing since putting snow chains on
VSC and ABS light flashing since putting snow chains on
Both those lights have been flashing since I put snow chains on my 2010 Vibe. How do I make it stop? Is it possible the chains damaged something and if so, how do I fix it? Thank you.
Re: VSC and ABS light flashing since putting snow chains on
If the tire chains are are installed and fitted properly, you can damage a lot of stuff and make the car very unsafe in the process. From what you have described, it would appear at least one or more wheel speed sensors are damaged. That is why the ABS and traction control lights are on. You may have also damaged some brake lines too. You need to pull all the wheels and check for any physical damage to any wires, brake lines, brake hoses, and struts. At least that is a starting point.

Have any idea how much I should expect to pay to fix? Thanks.
