NEED HELP 911, "slip warning light"

I have a 04 2drs / Auto and having a situation with my vehicle. Whenever I go off an off ramp curve my "slip light" will go on and will cause the whole car to lose control. It seem like its coming from the front. Other than that my car is fine. So far I have reset my ECU and have checked my brake fluid and for leak but everything is fine. Can anyone help me out? Please pm me.


Thanks in Advance

do you think perhaps your tires are in bad shape? and perhaps not staggered?

The slip and vdc light is likely turning on due to lost of traction. Whether its from hard cornering or worn tires, you should validate this and take the appropiate measures to correct it.

Have you checked your brake fluid? You may be low and when you cornered hard, the fluid moved. That's probably why you needed to turn off your car and let the fluid settle down in order for there to eenough fluid in the brake lines.

well ill check that but what happen was I grove out this morning and was driving normally I came close to a stop but rolled past it and the slip,vdc and break light were on but the hand break wasnt on. I went to gas station to fill up so car was off for like 5 min but after I turned it back on the lights were still lit, it was only after a few more miles that I totally turned off the car at red light that it turned off.....would this be break fluid or something else?

No SES light though? Sounds like brake fluid is low to me, if your "BRAKE" light is on.

The BRAKE light will come on if fluid is low, not just when E-Brake is on.

Well VDC is Basically just braking; therefore brake having issues = VDC issues. I'm not saying that is what it is, just trying to help you troubleshoot. Did you check fluid level??
