Driving in the Snow VDC, SLIP and ABS light
Driving in the Snow VDC, SLIP and ABS light
I was coming home from dinner about 18 inches of snow on the ground and my road was completely unplowed got a lil stuck and was working the G out. Had a bit of wheel spin (turned off VDC) noticed the lights came on.
Still haven't reset. This happened once before during heavy rain and had to go through a flooded street. My brake fluid level is fine. I think either the abs vdc unit got wet of frozen because last time I just let the car sit in the sun and it was fine the next day. Any one ever have these issues?
I also noticed that I dont have an LSD... I want to put in one in does anyone no a thread I should look at can I just swap in one from a G sport or Z?

Dammit, I have the same issue. Hit a deer before right before I was going to store the G, got it back from the body shop during a snow storm and noticed that my brake light and my vdc off and slip light are staying on constant.
Any ideas? You ever figure out a sure shot of what it was? I know my brakes are fine.

These lights scare me. They came on in our 04 G and it turned out to be a massive electrical issue. Im always afraid they are going to come on now.
It is a fear of mine, these lights.
BTW i forget exactly what happened to our 04 X, but it took them awhile to fix it.

. Sorry, don't know what your issue w/ the lights is, but sounds like an issue from something getting wet (since it happened in heavy rain & now this).

I would check to make sure all of your ABS sensors are seated properly. It doesn't take much to make them freak out.
All lights you've mentioned (SLIP, ABS, VDC) take readings from the ABS sensors. Start there before you have anyone else look at it.
If you look in the manual, it states that excessive slip causes the system to default off--hence all the lights go on saying there are no more electric shenanigans to help you. Once you turn the car off and on again, everything resets. I had the same thing happen to me, don't sweat it.

Mine hasn't gone off yet either, they have been on for the last month. They were going off and on when it started getting cold, but they haven't gone off yet. Should I take it to the dealer?

I'm new to this car and trying to make sure its running tip top. I mean its running excellent I guess the Brake, Slip and VDC OFF lights constantly staying lit are bugging me. Any suggestions on what to do?
