Limp mode after new 2 front wheels put on

[dakidezain]

Hey everyone, seeing if someone can help me out here.. I just put 2 new front wheels on my 2011 rss Spyder, they are 20" and after riding around the block limp mode came on as well as all the other lights.. There are the codes that came on

P099
C0049
P0706

tried disconnecting the battery and codes go away just to come back.. Anyone know why this is? With replacing the wheels and putting bigger ones on.. Don't understand it

Was there a change in diameter / roll out distance. Was the front end lifted.

Posibly the computer is comparing the front to the rear and there is a difference outside of the limits.

If the chassis angle is altered, maybe the stability control is confused.

I think the tires are to big .

 

[dakidezain]

Didn't lift the front end..

The tires are already rubber bands so don't think I can go lower in tires.

A buddy has 20"s on his '08 and didn't have any problems

Odd..!!

first code I can't find..the others refer to brake sensor and gear indicator. Niether one has to do with your wheels. Check to see that the sensors were not moved or damaged fluids are full and gear senor wires are not damaged. Not sure what works has been done so hard to say...:dontknow:

If the outer diameter of the new tires is enough larger than the old ones, the rpm of the wheels will be enough different that it will upset the nanny. Did you disconnect the sensors for the wheels? That's the little buttons by the slotted rotors. I don't have a code list handy, but that's the most likely thing.

where would the sensor be or what does it look like? Only thing I found to disconnect was the wire for turn signal that was on the fender

 

[dakidezain]

This is the only thing I unplugged.. And only thing I see to be plugged on the wheel

Okay; you got some 20 inchers...
What TIRES did you put on them?? :dontknow:

235/30/20

13.84% bigger diameter than 165/65/14 !!! won't work.

 

[dakidezain]

There's people here who have 20" on them and they work.. So that can't be true.. Look up butler tire, they put 20" on spyders

 

[SPYD3R]

Abs

NOT SURE ABOUT OUR SPYD3R's, BUT IF YOU PUT DIFFERENT SIZE TIRES, DIAMETER SIZE, ON A CAR WITH 'ABS' BRAKES, THE RPM's NOW ARE REDUCED TO A SLOWER SPEED AND THE COMPUTER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND WILL GIVE YOU A 'FAULT' CODE.... THE FRONT AND BACK WHEELS ARE CALIBRATED TO TURN SO MANY RPM's, AND ONCE THAT CHANGES, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE....

IF THIS IS FACT CORRECT AND YOU WANT TO KEEP THOSE WHEELS/TIRES ON YOUR SPYD3R... YOU'LL NEED TO GET THE COMPUTER RECALIBRATED FOR THAT COMBINATION... YOU'D BEST CHECK THIS WITH YOUR LOCAL SPYD3R DEALER 1st...

Wheel speed sensors Unpluged or out of adjustment are possible causes.........

Did you change the outside diameter of the tire and is the front of Spyder higher or lower than stock?

C0049 is a brake fluid level problem
P0706 gear change sequence logic problem
P099 Blipper logic problem

I would take it to your dealer have them check it out. That's IMHO

If u got the originals put them back on and c what happens!!!:thumbup:

 

[GrumpySteelMan]

The difference in rotational size between the fronts and the rear is too different and the stability control cannot deal with it.nojoke

If you insist on going big, you probably need the rear wheel to match.:thumbup:

Yea I have the back rim coming, just taking longer to make.
