I'm very confused and a bit irritated. First of, I have an 05 coupe 6MT, I've had my car for nearly a year now. No problems whatsoever until recently. In random occurrences on my gauge cluster the SLIP AND TCS indicator turns on, and stays lit. This will happen even if I just turn on the car, or while I'm driving. I sometimes have to shut the car on and off for it to go away.

Mind you I'm not manually turning off the TCS button, nor am I touching the button at all. They both just light up on their own, I've literally driven 15-20 minutes with both indicators illuminated. And I forgot to add, even the
e-brake light will turn on randomly at times with the TCS/SLIP indicators. Any idea what's causing this? This has never happened before, since I've owned the car. I'm stumped and getting annoyed by it.

 

Check your brake fluid - if it's low, it can trigger the brake light, which may also trigger the other lights.

 

yea check the brake fluid had the same problem and my brake fluid was half way. Topped it of to full and problem fixed.

 

You guys are right, I just checked right now. And both the brake and clutch fluid are at that halfway point. Should I use Genuine brake fluid recommended by the Infiniti manual. Or can I just go to Autozone, etc. And buy brake fluid? I highly expect the brake fluid from the dealership to be more pricey than from a local autostore. Thanks again guys, hopefully this solves the problem.

 

Nevermind, I added some DOT3 brake fluid that I had. And everything seems to be fine. I'll report back after some spirited driving and see if the issue cleared up. Thanks again guys for the help.
