Something to do with the abs. When I changed my tires I had the computer
changed and the tech in the service dept. told me the wheel size and speedo
work off the rear abs. It may never throw a code for just and inch change or
it may take a while but it will definately throw a code with a drastic
change. I have traced this in my FSM but when I can find which box it's in
from moving i'll check.
