(Different front/rear tire size issue?)

So the car just threw a p0500 error multiple times (VSS related, maybe).

When that happens, the cluster lights up like a freaking Christmas tree!

- check engine
- brake problem (aka parking brake light)
- ABS
- stability control & traction control
- speedometer stops working (drops to zero)
- EPS / power steering

The last one is interesting: the car actually disabled the power steering while under way. Good thing I have massive upper body strength to wrestle an unassisted Mirage to safety!

Restarting the car fixes the EPS / speedo issue... until the dash lights up again.

I'm wondering if it's tire size related. I recenty changed to different sizes on the front & rear (larger than stock up front for lower engine RPM). 185/65r15 vs. stock 165/65r14.

That said, I had done the same thing to Mirage #2 with NO PROBLEMS. Except the rears were 175/70r14, not stock 165's, which was a smaller % difference between F&R.

Investigating further...
