TOD pulsing.. new tires?

[billh23]

It seems that ever since I put new tires on (265 60 18) which are a bit bigger then stocks, my TOD is engaging while driving on dry pavement on straightaway accelerations. The lights go all the way to the top and I can feel the TOD kicking in. It didn't use to do that. Once I get to speed, whichever speed it might (30, 55, etc) the TOD stays at just one dot lit up (normal I think).

Can just the tire change make it do this, or can it be a sign of something else going wrong?

Mine does the same thing. I recently added Mud tires. The added mass to the rotation of the wheels creates a need for more torque. Thus... Torque on Demand... kicks in.

Recalibrator can help with that as well as correct the speedometer readout and ABS activation.

How does it work/what does it do to correct the issue?
thanks!

Wired to the speed sensor to send the correct data to the ECU. Install instructions http://www.vehicross.info/forums/showthread.php?t=6993

Thanks, Tone -- that makes sense. I think I might try out the recalibrator that you offer.

try disconnecting battery for about an hour then reconnect. Maybe that will help.

TOD would engage when I floored it from a dead stop even with the old stock tires. I just got new tires (terra grapplers) and it seems to do it more now especially up hill. :confused:

I don't think so... It's more of an annoyance, due to the strange surging in the acceleration.
