Symptoms of a Bad or Failing ECM-Power Relay. The ECM, or electronic control module, is the computer responsible for controlling all of the engine management functions.

1 Replace the tire if the top of Abe's head becomes uncovered by any of the grooves.  If your tires are only partially worn, find out how much. Stick a tread-depth gauge (about $5 at auto-parts stores) into each of the grooves on all four tires, as shown in the photo below. Then check how many inches of usable tread remain and match your driving to the tread wear.
Remember, with winter tires only the first 50% of tread is really for use. After that, you have the equivalent of half-worn all-season tires. Blizzak special outer rubber differs from lower layer, too, as the maker informs. Winter tires with 11/32 new tread depth are effectively kaput at 6 or 5 / 32. You should not push regular tires below 4/32 in any case, see wet stopping distances at full, at 4 and at 2 /32 video comparisons on Tirerack.com.
