VSA on because of tires?

i bought a used 05 tl aspec but my vsa and the ! has been on, i have recently done balance, brake job, and alignment and its still on. My friend who did everything told me that my tires were worn unevenly, is that the reason why my indicators are on?

If there's a big difference in diameter it will throw it off. Not sure if uneven wear on the same size tires would be enough. There has to be some margin for error or it would go off every time you turn the steering wheel and the outside tires turn faster than the insides.

That's not enough to trip your system. You've got a bad sensor on one of the tires.

Ok, dumb question, sorry.

Are sure you VSA isn't "OFF". When VSA is OFF, the light in the dash comes ON and Stays ON.

When VSA is ON, there should be no light in the dash UNLESS VSA/TC Activates (the triangle ! flashes) or there is a problem with the system.

Have someone press the brakes and make sure the brake lights come on. This could be an indicator of a faulty brake switch. Also is the ABS light on? If not, then it should not be a wheel sensor.
