Default SS/Vortech wierd problems...Help

After installing a Vortech supercharger with an SS box on my Z, it permanetly throws a slip light, a VTC off light, and a service engine soon light. Plus, the sensor in the drivers side window doesn't always work causing the window to roll up and down on its own or not work at all. Other than that, the car works fine, and I've taken it on a roadtrip with no problems...Any ideas? Thanks

Resetting the ECU cleared the service engine soon light but didn't take care of the Slip or VDC off lights. Thanks

What wheels did you install as well as the tire sizes? SLIP (most likely) = incorrectly sized tires..

I have 18" wheels with 275/45-18's in the rear. I had the wheels on for a year before the supercharger installation and had no problem with the VDC and slip lights. Thanks

AAM cipher tool should be able to check the ABS computer for error codes, which might be causing the lights to stay lit. Maybe you can find someone with cipher in your area.

I have one, but I live in west LA so unless you want to drive up here, I can't help you personally.

Alternatively, you could check with VRT, I believe they're down near SD

Thanks, I'll be heading to VRT next week to get my new injectors installed and a tune. I'll ask if they can help with the VDC and SLIP problems
