    PLEASE HELP-2004 GTP Comp G
    1. Day and Date do not match. I am well aware of the cause of this problem but am sick of having to make an appointment, take it to the dealer, wait 3 hours, and argue about being charged just so they can flash the computer. There must be a better way

    2. Car runs fine, drives fine, and is in great shape however the check engine light came on a few days ago and the only change was a new set of skins (factory size). Some guys I work with think that just the difference in tread depth (and overall diameter) has confused the computer and tripped a code, is this possible and will it reset itself?

    Id take it to autozone and have them read the code to be sure. Ive never seen new tires trip the check engine light just because of the difference in tread depth.

    you need to pull the code, its probably all coincidence that it threw the light after replacing the tires. its possible though that a different size tire could throw off the VSS.

    take the DIC thing to the dealer its possible theres a TSB ( technical service bulletin) on this matter as i doubt your the only one with this trouble.
