Antilock Brakes / Traction Control Systems: Service Precautions

SPARE TIRE
Using the compact spare tire supplied with the vehicle will not affect the operation of the ABS. The EBCM can compensate for this smaller tire. However, increased stopping distance may occur due to reduced tread depth.

REPLACEMENT TIRES
Tire size is important for proper performance of the ABS. Replacement tires should be the same size, load range and construction as the original tires. Replace tires in axle sets and only with tires of the same tire performance criteria (TPC) specification number. Use of any other size or type may seriously affect the ABS operation.
