Two days ago I had 4 new tires installed. Today, in snow traction control was activated. After about 20 miles ABS light came on. After about 5 miles Traction Control Off light also came on. After engine is turned off, and on again, the lights stay off for about five 3 miles. Could new tires cause the problem? Best Regards, M
If you have a code reader available,reset trouble codes,if that doesn't work you probably need to have it checked out.they may have dis lodged a sensor when they changed the tires.unless you radically changed tire size it shouldn't be the tires

you have a problem in your antilock brake system most of the time i have found bad wheel sensors or wiring. pull your codes and it will tell you where to look

This is a fairly common problem, Gm has actually issued a service bulletin regarding this repair. The problem probably originates from one of your wheel speed sensors that is mounted inside one of your front wheel bearings. To be sure, you need to have the car scanned to find out which one and then you have to replace the whole bearing assembly because the sensor is integral to the bearing. The bearing is not hard to do but you will need some professional tools if you want to do it yourself. At a shop it should cost between 3 and 400 dollars complete.
