amphibo Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Just put snow tires on my 2011 Legacy without the sensors. Heard that having no sensors will affect the VDC. Has anyone heard this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 no tpms will set off a code. Having a present code that does not clear, can affect alot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 No. they use the ABS/tone ring sensors for input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Your cruise control may not work, and you may not be able to exceed a set speed. VDC should not be affected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnW Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 no tpms will set off a code.Having a present code that does not clear, can affect alot. Wrong. TPMS does not talk to the ECM in any way. It communicates with the BIU (Body Integrated Unit) the the LAN system. In this case it doesn't affect anything except the light being illuminated on the dash for the tire warning system. NO check engine light, flashing cruise light, etc. Your cruise control may not work, and you may not be able to exceed a set speed. VDC should not be affected. VDC is not affected. Cruise control is only affected by certain transmission or engine codes. Please stop guessing at answers. These electronic systems are not generic to any make/year/model. This is a specific question about a certain year and model Subaru and has a clear, concise answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
