Recently acquired the gap tool.
Now that I’m running 32” tires, I updated the CCF for the updated tire radius.
After driving for about 20 minutes I received this code

I’ve done some reading online, and apparently increasing the tire radius can throw this fault? Then I read that other people that have experienced this just reduce the wheel radius by a few mm and the problem can sometimes go away.
Anyone else experience this?

I just cleared the fault and parked my truck. Deciding whether or not to continue driving without reducing the tire radius, or just reduce it right away.
Do I risk any damage or faults by leaving the radius as the updated larger size?
Could it just be a one time fault as it was the first drive on the updated wheel radius?

Something else maybe worth mentioning:
After updating the tire size; while driving for that initial 20 minute drive the engine fan was on and would not shut off.
I pulled over shut the truck off, pulled the relay and then replaced it (not with a new one). Started the truck, drove off and the fan was no longer running (as it shouldn’t at operating temp) and then about a 1/4 mile later is when I got that code: ABOVE POST

No Gap tool, here. 2011 with the HSE Luxury 20" wheels.

Moved from the OEM 40-profile to 50 profile tires, did the math, reminded meself the speedometer would be under actual speed by a skosh, and just drove it.

Not a huge difference, but NO codes of any sort related to any of that appeared. So there is at least 'some' margin of tolerance built-in to the system? Technology exists to allow it to determine the rolling parameters for itself, but I doubt that has been applied to L320's.

What happens if you set all parameters back to where they were before you changed the tires?

Annndd.. have ta' ask it...Surely all four corners have the SAME tires as well? And the CCF holds the same parameters for all?

This sounds like a "gross" or "out of bounds" conflict.
The sort a computer might act on if it confused radius and diameter, or not all tires match both on-road and in CCF, even.

Worth contacting Gap?
