Kyle N :

Hi, my name is XXXX XXX I'm a Honda expert here at JustAnswer.com. I'd be glad to help you with your question.

Customer :

thank you did you see my questions?

Kyle N :

I would tow it if possible to the nearest Honda dealer

Kyle N :

Something happened if those lights were not on before the repairs

Customer :

It can not be driven?

Kyle N :

My guess is they are not telling you the whole story

Kyle N :

It can be driven but without knowing what type of damage they did to the vehicle I can't tell you for sure it's safe to drive

Customer :

I have 2 bad tires and had an oil change

Kyle N :

I understand what work was done.

Customer :

Do they have reset buttons?

Kyle N :

No.

Kyle N :

You have trouble codes stored inside the car's computer

Kyle N :

when you have the vehicle scanned it will show the codes. Once the problem is corrected you can "clear" the codes

Customer :

Can you tell my what these codes mean?

Kyle N :

If you can have it towed to the Honda dealer and they find that Walmart did something wrong to cause the problem it will be easier to have them pay for the repair if you don't drive it

Kyle N :

I can't tell what codes you have without scanning the vehicle with a scan tool

Kyle N :

There are literally like a hundred codes

Kyle N :

Walmart should have a scan tool

Kyle N :

and scan it for you

Customer :

they said they dont know what the lights mean

Customer :

they didnt say anything about scanning it

Kyle N :

The lights mean you have a stored trouble code for the ABS (anti lock brakes) VSA (vehicle stability assist) or VTM-4 (all wheel drive system)

Kyle N :

The systems are all connected so when one has a problem all the lights can come on.

Kyle N :

It doesn't mean all have a problem

Customer :

Thank you Kyle N

Kyle N :

could be that they installed the wrong size tires on the truck

Kyle N :

could be the damaged an ABS sensor on one of the axles.

Kyle N :

Hard to say

Kyle N :

I would check that all the tires are exactly the same size

Customer :

ok

Kyle N :

If the new front ones are a different size then the rear then bingo that's the issue.

Kyle N :

I'm thinking this may have happened

Customer :

The 2 new tires were put on the front

Customer :

I thank you for your help Kyle

Kyle N :

I understand. Check the front tire size and rear. If they are different that will cause those lights to come on.

Kyle N :

No problem!
