replaced a flat and the codes are still on

Got a flat tire (non runflats) and immediatley started driving towards a tire shop.Drove atleast 10 miles realy slow and half way there my brake warning lights ,pressure light, abs lights and DTC light came on! Got to the tire shop , put on a new tire and the lights still come on specially the DTC light (cant get it to turn off as if the button doesnt even work). Did I damage my wheel sensor or just keep driving and see if it turns off?

There's no saying what went wrong. It could have been the flat tire or the guy dismounting / mounting the tire.

If the error isn't clearing, your sensor is probably shot. A reset of the system and a couple of miles should definitely clear the error..

You drove for 5 miles on a flat tire and another 5 after all sorts of warning lights came on? I suspect that you did lots of damage.

thats something that my dad would do on a $1,000 truck....

I'm surprised your wheel isn't bent either.

Your rim probably got totally messed up.

If you are under warranty I would go there and say these lights came on. Don't tell hem you drove for x miles on a flat tire.

Did you follow the instructions on how to reset the computer after changing a tire that are in your book that came with the car?

I would have to drive or walk two miles to get reception.The good news is nothing was damaged and everything jst reset on its own while driving this morning.I'm with you guys on that one it was a risky move that I took but under the circumstances I had to take the risk.Bear in mind I was driving downhill from the canyons at 10pm and no resident or commercial buildings in sight!
