Need Some Help with VDC/SLIP Lights

I have googled, binged, and Yahooed...but I don't see anyone with the same issue as me.

2004 G35 Coupe
Automatic Transmission
93500 miles

My VDC/SLIP lights come on as soon as I start the car. I have no codes on my ecu. I have topped off the brake fluid, I have brand new brake pads and rotors on the car. I have had my alignment checked out and I am good to go. I am not sure what else it can be. Everyone with the VDC error seem too come on after driving but mine pops up as soon as I turn the key.
I have disconnected the battery and let the car set for 12 hours to try and reset everything but still I have the solid steady VDC/SLIP lights on. I have changed the both cam sensors and the cranks sensor.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.....

I don't know much about your situation but maybe the traction control fuse is blown or bad.

Check your speed/abs sensors.

Have you checked the Speed sensors? Maybe they are dirty?

Well I'm still looking on how to clean them as well. But if it doesn't work looks like I'll be buying a new one

I will be posting a DIY with pictures maybe this weekend.

FYI, there are only front speed sensors.

Steps:

1. Remove wheel
2. The sensors are located in the inner side of the caliper (towards the mud guard), follow the cable that comes from the engine bay to the rotor
3. remove the 12mm (or 14mm-not sure) bolt that holds the sensor in place
4. once removed, clean the sensor housing
**This will be a good time to check the sensor cable for any cuts/scrapes or any damage to the actual sensor**
5. For you that have not replaced/removed rotors, you need to clean the area that the sensor is using to send the speed signal to the computer. You may use a cloth/rag to clean the area by spinning the rotor and sticking the rag in the sensor's place hole (I will be posting pics later).
6. Once everything has been cleaned, replace the sensor back into its place and put your wheel back on.

Heavenly blessed beauty. Thank you for your efforts. Looking forward to the pics

So what are the sensors in the rear than? They are not bolt to the back of the hub. they are on each side of the rear differential. The come up as rear ABS speed sensors
