Hope it's the relay. If it's the other, damn.

Was this caused by the new rotors? Or a pre-existing condition that didn't manifest itself until now?

This just happened, no preexisting problem. Since i have posted this the ABS TCS light is gone. Only the check engine light is still on. This happened to me the first time I changed a flat tire and put the spare on. The TCS ABS light was going off and on and when i parked the car and started it the next day the lights did not come on again. I think it is because the car has noticed a change and has to adjust to that change, what do you think??? and what do you think the check engine light is still on for??

No idea why the CEL is on. Have you tried pulling codes from the ECU? That's a good way to diagnose the reason for the CEL. If it shows no codes, it could be a wiring issue?

You've got a couple of threads going in this forum both talking about the same thing. You're getting conflicting answers since in your other thread you didn't mention installing a spare. Was it a full-size (same size) spare or the 50 mile trunk spare?

I have no experience with this issue other than what I've read here but I know that if you're riding around on tires that aren't the same diameter it will upset your ABS and traction control and all the time the TPS sensor is going crazy trying to compensate. Hence the source of the warning lights and CEL.

Get back on four tires all the same size and your ABS and TCS warning lights will go away. It sounds like this has already happened.

Again, I have no experience on this one but I think the CEL will reset itself after so many miles or stops/starts. If not you will be able to clear them with a code reader unless you have a true problem with the TP sensor. Let us know what you find out.

you really know what your talking about because that is what really happened, the tcs abs lights did go off after a while. As for the check engine light that is still on and i have no idea what to look for under the hood. If you could help me with this one i would greatly appreciate that
