if you spun the rear wheels and the front didnt at least try to take up some slip theres probably a problem with your car and your psm light is trying to alert you. I'm on the south shore if you want me to take a look..

First....do the lights come back on after a restart? If not foggetaboutit. If so the best advice is to get the codes read...or we can play 1000 guesses and you can spend $1000 dollars for playing.

There are previous discussion threads on this subject...several of the guys have corrected the problem by doing what WROSS said....turn off the igniton and turn it back on. If it clears, go have a beer....if it doesn't, then you might want to have it checked. Get the reader from AutoZone for free...get the code readouts and inquire on the forum for what they are.

Tires can cause the problem...wear issues or traction (size or temperature) issues. Something is overwhelming the computers ability to "manage" variations in wheel spin.
Or something's shorting out...

I once bought new a set of tyres (Different brand) for the rear and didn't change the front ones which completely sent the PSM mental.
As soon as I bought the new fronts a week later the car settled down.

1] The MAF wiring has been removed and not securely replaced.
Just for ****s and giggles, R&R your MAF connector and see if it cures the problemo.
If it does not...feel free to ignore me from this point forward
