Exclamation Lights: VDC Off, Slip, AWD as soon as it snowed.

Hey guys,

New to the forums, tried doing a search but couldn't find my exact problem.
Just got an '05 g35x with 90K.
Was fine for 2 weeks, but the second it snowed last night, the VDC Off, Slip, and AWD lights turned on. All solid, not flashing or anything.
Brake fluid is fine, pads are also fine (just had them checked a week ago).

Just really worried obviously that not having the awd or vdc working during the snow is quite counter-productive to getting the x version of this beautiful car!

Any ideas/help is much appreciated!hanks guys!

Thanks!
How can I check if my AWD fuse is blown?

Also, the ABS light is also on the entire time.

I have a coupe, but when I had that problem (other than the AWD part) it was a speed sensor that went bad. Not being able to sense the speed of one of the wheels tripped out the vdc, slip, and abs. Repair was cheap, something like $100-150 at the dealership.

Thanks Franky.

Looks like it could be a number of things. Best to get it checked at the dealer I suppose.

Open to other ideas out there!
Thanks!

Holy cow!

Any alternatives?

theres a link to the module if you have a loose connector or to measure the voltage at the pins. but the fuse is located in the engine compartment i believe and it should be labled awd.

Thanks for the help guys. Went to a mechanic who has a diagnostic tool and he confirmed a front right speed sensor is either damaged or loose. Same problem as franky.
Mechanic is a friend and super busy, so does anyone know exactly where the speed sensor is located? It'll save him time from rummaging around! Thanks.

UPDATE:

Got the front right passenger side speed sensor changed.
All lights immediately turned off after driving for 2 min.
Guess I'll have to wait until the next snowfall to make sure they don't pop back on (although they shouldn't).
Total cost including labour. $250 CDN
