I had a flat on my car through the sidewall so the tire was not repairable. Tire shop had to order a replacement which they stated would be tomorrow. OK, no issue with that. As opposed to putting the spare on they put a "loaner tire" on my rim (left rear). I only had to drive 5 miles each way so no worries or so I thought. But when I left the shop after a short distance the VSA & ABS lights came on. I quickly turned back to the shop and the dealer told me that is because the "loaner tire" is shorter & wider and the Acura controls sense that. He said the tomorrow when the correct tire sized tire is back on the warnings will go away.

Is he correct, or did they damage someothing that I won't really find out about until tomorrow?

 

Relax. It is normal.

 

Thanks. I was hoping so since the warnings came on about 2-300ft from the garage.

 

Got my car back today with the correct tire size and all the warnings lights turned off.

 

I've had a "Check VSA/ABS" warning before. Read this nightmare story from me:
