Traction control kicking on after lift and tires.

I put on a 3" lift last night and 285/75 tires. On flat roads everything is fine. What I have noticed is that on windy roads the traction control is kicking on in turns. I don't feel a loss in traction and I am not over driving the turns.

Any ideas?

 

Yep. You installed a suspension and tires that exceed what the truck is designed to accommodate. No mystery.

 

Does you traction light stay on?

 

What did people do before internet forums?

 

Cars didnt have traction control before the internet, lol.

 

Think of all the time you would have saved figuring things out and solving problems.

 

OP you need to take your truck in to a dealership to get the VSC recalibrated. Lots of people have spoken of similar post-lift problems. The angles and speeds and sensors are telling the computer things are not interacting the way they should and it thinks you've lost traction.

I read you. Didn't know this was a thing that I needed to do.

Thanks.

I thought a wheel was coming off the first time it happened.

 

There's a pdf file in the first post of this thread with the recalibration procedure

This is a great forum with a lot of info for new owners.

 

No. It only comes one during the incident.

 

Awesome.

Any idea what a dealer charges to do this?

 

Varies

 

I have read the pdf a few times now and may be confused. Is this something I can do my self?

 

Yes , some people do

 

Ok.

So flat level ground 4" piece of wire, short 2 terminals a few times and it resets itself.

I'll give it a try in the morning.

 

the dealer charged me the 30$ diagnosis fee, only took like 10 minutes to fix it.

 

If I can't reset it in the garage I'll drop by the dealer Monday morning.

 

Does this happen on 06 models?
