gateway coding, since this control module is integrated with the instrument

On certain vehicles equipped with factory-installed 18-inch wheels, the tire sidewall
height ratio information specified on the tire placard is incorrect. If a customer
relied on the information printed on the incorrect label when replacing the factoryinstalled tires, smaller-diameter tires could be fitted to the vehicle in error. If
incorrect (smaller diameter) tires are used on the vehicle, it could lead to incorrect
speedometer readings (showing higher speed than actual). This represents a noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110, “Tire Selection and
Rims.”
