    Traction control reset?

    I put on larger wheels during the summer, and it made my traction control disable. (Light in the center of the cluster). I put the stock wheels back on for winter and am wondering if I can reset my traction control to make it come back on? Any help would be great.
    Thanks

    Installing larger tires/wheels shouldn’t have caused the DSC light to come in unless the diameter of the new front tires is much greater/smaller than the diameter of the rear tires. The DSC basically uses speed data from each tire to determine when it needs to intervene. DSC also uses the steering angle sensor in its calculations.

    One of the wheel speeds sensors may have been damaged when the wheels were swapped. You need to ensure that the sensors are undamaged.
