SLIP light and VDC OFF light are on....

What do these mean? Thanks

I think the vdc is traction control? But what is slip? and why would the car turn vdc off automaticly?

It happened the other day when i was on it, just going straight no curves. Havent driven the car in a few days, took her out for a lite spin today and the lights were off.

i do have 2 different sets of tires. Rear are at 90% front at about 70-80%. Thanks

Your brake fluid might be low, which can cause this reading. It happened to me when it was time to replace my front brake pads. Within a few days to a week of daily driving, the lights went away on their own. Then the lights came back within 2 weeks. Got my front rotors resurfaced, new front pads installed, and the problem went away.

How many miles on your coupe and have you had your brakes replaced yet?

like athnesblueg said check your brake fluid, i took mine to the dealer to have it serviced and on the way home they came on. When i got home check the fluid level and it was below the min mark.

I noticed also that it only does this when i am flooring it. If i start the car and drive normally all lights will stay off. Also another thing that comes on is the brake light. but the brake is off.

I havent had a chance to check the fluid. Will check tonight when i get home. I just bought the car so im not sure about the brakes. The fronts need to be turned though, i can feel it. Thanks guys for your help.
