    The ABS controller is unhappy about the tire size... the ABS controller needs to be reprogrammed for the tire size, EFILive can't do this, GM dealer can.

    ONE more thing my truck is tuned with efi from a friend of mine and he had to purchase a license I guess to unlock something because i had my truck tuned by somebody previously who didn't know he was doing, will the GM tech screw up my tunning because i have the dpf delete,egr delete,timing adjusted and so on...or will he just access the abs system and nothing else

    GM may reflash your ECM back to stock.

    Good luck finding a dealer who knows how to do this. I used to correct speedometers for several dealers and I was amazed at there lack of knowledge on using a tech II.

    Set tire size to 35". speedo will be off but no ABS light. A tech II can reprogram the ABS module, no reflash required. The module needs to be configured for 33" tires (max size in ABS). this will allow it to deal with the tire size in EFILive being set over 35"
