I was driving to work today and I stopped at a red light. As soon as I stopped, the Brake light came on as if my handbrake was up. Also the Slip light and VCD off light was on too. I have no idea why all three lights came on and stayed on until I restarted the car. I was able to drive like normal still until I got to my destination point, where I restarted the car.

It's 2003 G35 coupe. 43,000 mileage 6MT. I don't drive it aggressive at all. I have MD 5'16" spacer, FI exhaust and resonated TPs, z-tube and k&n filter.

Can anyone give some insight? Thanks!

 

First thing to check is the master cylinder fluid level.

 

Yep, your brake fluid is low. Happened to me and a few friends. Even it is low by 1/4 of an inch, that is enough. You may put barely any in, but I will guarantee that is the problem. I put probably a soda cap full in mine, and it has never came on since (over 2 months ago).

 

so i just have to refill the brake fluid? I will check that tomorrow and let you guys know. Thanks.

 

Was that the problem? Mine just did the same thing on the way to work.

 

it could be your brake fluid is low (which normally signifies needing brakes either front or rear)

a faulty throttle chamber will also do the same thing, or you could have a failed abs part on the car, if your brake fluid is not low.

Also a 1/4 inch won't click that light on by the way, the float in the brake fluid resivor has to be sitting all the way down to click that code, you can check that by holding it down and having someone start the car and see for yourself i you don't believe me =P.
