Slip/E-Brake/VDC Light

This issue has just occured on my car the last few days.It seems to happen when I push the car a bit. The Slip/E-brake/VDC light will automatically come on and stay on....Anyone know why my car is doing this? And what could be wrong. It did it on the way to work when I drove completly casually.

I had that happen a few weeks ago, it was because my camshaft position sensor went out. Got it fixed under warranty for free.

check your brake fluid. if it is low those lights will come on. that would indicate that you need brake work

Brake fluid is low. Fill it to max.

this happens to me when my brakes needed to be replaced. check the pads and top off the fluid.

What he said. As your pads slowly wear down, the brake pistons have to push farther and farther out to make the pads contact the rotors. Since the pistons are extended further, the fluid level in your brake fluid reservoir drops, and this can trigger the three lights you're talking about.

I would bet that if you top off your brake fluid to the MAX line the lights will probably go away, but it won't fix the underlying problem. You should definitely get the pads checked out (or do it yourself -- it's pretty easy).
