Error Messages (Spoiler Control Failure) & (Wheel Change? Input New Tire Setting?)

Story leading up to the messages to maybe help. I recently completed a body kit with a TA Type II Spoiler. The car was at the body shop for a week sitting. I drove the car home and the first message that popped up was "Wheel Change? Input New Tire Settings? I did nothing to wheels or tires during this visit. My pressures all read normal? Any thoughts?

Second Message, which I was praying wouldn't pop up was "Spoiler Control Failure" The Spoiler has a new harness installed, so I'm surprised to see the message. Any thoughts on how to fix this one?

Thanks in advance for your help.....

I'm not familiar with the TA Type 2 spoiler. Is it a fixed wing? If so, you may be triggering a CEL because the wing is trying to deploy. You can program this out using Durametric or PIWIS.

Not sure about the wheel change, but I it sometimes pops up if a one of the TPMS sensor batteries is dying.

Spoiler is fixed. I'll have to have hook it up and reprogram it I guess.
