I just got the tires changed the morning of when I got a flat in the evening. I had a spare that is a little smaller than the rest put in. When I turned the car again after I had replaced the spare the engine, brake, and TPM light were all on and a little bit into driving it the brakes felt very loose and I had to push it to the floor to brake. When I turned it on this morning the brakes felt okay again bit the lights were still showing.

tpm light is on because of no sensor in spare. once regular tire is installed it may go out our you may have to reset system. if engine /brake light on have it scanned for codes. the flat may have damaged abs sensor wires.
