psm & abs warning - wheels

Hi there to all on the forum.

Can anyone please tell me, can badly worn front tyres & bad tracking/wheel alignment set off the psm abs warning lights?
It seems to happen at nearly the same time & the same speed when I leave work in the evening (when its colder) & get to about 50-60 mph.

Any help or comments on this would be very appreciated.

Kind regards, Paul F

P.S. Its a 1992 Boxter 2.7 986

Your question is somewhat irrelevant at this point. I'd deal with the worn tires and bad alignment immediately, regardless of whether you suspect them as the cause.

You can then check later to see if the warnings change.

Cheers phlegm, im getting them sorted Friday morn.

I just wondered if anyone knew whether it could cause the warning or not.

Thanks, Paul F

I just read recently that someone who ran into a curb (which knocked their alignment way off) had their PSM light go off.

Okay, thanks for your replies.

I've just had the tyres & laser wheel alignment done & the front wheels were definitely out.

I'll see what happens over the weekend & let you know if the dreaded psm abs warning lights still come on!

Cheers, Paul F
