Exclamation Traction control/stabilitrac turns off

Just got a 4 inch lift and new 20 inch xd series rims and the nitto terra grapplers installed. Today the stabilitrac/ traction control light came on my dash and to service it. When I turn the truck off and back on it stays off for a while. Anyone have any ideas why it's telling me this now?

what was the stock size wheels? You may be messing with the sensors with the bigger wheels.

No, I'll try that, hopefully they won't say my warranty is voided.

They probably will. Chevy is really bad about that. They didn't even want to honor a recall on my truck because I took the throttle body apart and cleaned it.

Each wheel has a traction control modual. During your lift install or wheel install, one of the moduals may have gotten bumped and the connection may have been compromised.
