Hey guys. Just bought a 2003 red G35. 58k miles. Bought it from an older couple, it was taken very good care of. Only problem is these lights keep coming on. The lights "SLIP" and "VDC Off" have been on the whole time. Occasionally my ABS light will come on. I have looked through all the forums. I have tried 1. Turning my ABS button on and off (near left knee) 2. Adding Brake Fluid ( Mine was a tad low, so I filled it to the max line ) 3. I unplugged my battery for 20 minutes to reset all the electronics. So far none of this has worked. I have read that it could be a sensor or worn brake pads. Please help!! Thanks.

 

From my experience in the past I would start checking wheel speed sensors connections and if not them, could be in the wheel bearing itself, quickest way to diagnose is to take to a shop, they can see which/what wheel bearing is dropping off. Hope this helps.

 

check the brakes. thats prob the problem.

 

From my understanding the lights are supposed to come on when the fluid level is low due to worn pads, however if he topped up the fluid and the lights remain on, it leads me to believe there is something else that is the issue.Certainly wouldn't hurt to check the brake pads though just in case. These cars, to the best of my knowledge don't have electronic brake pad indicators such as some VW's I've run into in the past and I'm sure many other cars.

 

Had the same issue a few months ago, was the front passenger side speed sensor.
Could also be the brakes pads.

Cost to fix mine with labour was $250.

 

PM footballmania32 he has the same problem. Apparently this completely deactivated vdc compared to when its working normally and you "turn it off" it still limits it partially. I think he mentioned it had to do with some brake sensor.

 

brake fuild

 

^ He said he has tried this already and the lights are still on.

 

Have you had your battery tested lately

 

Thanks a lot guys. I will try to check the speed sensor and my brake pads. Thanks again.

 

If you don't figure it out, you can always wait another week for the next identical thread to this, so the answers can be provided another time.


seriously man, you diddn't even TRY to search!

 

You best bet is to stop guessing what it is or could be. Read the ECU code on the problem. This will give you a very good idea what the problem is. There many different things that will trigger those lights and without the code you will never know.

Just went through the same problem two weeks ago.. .............................and got it fixed............................ READ the Code!!!

 

Where do I find the ECU code? Do I need to take it to an Infiniti dealer or just a local shop? Sorry I'm not very knowledgeable. Thank you.

 

Any local shop with a good scan tool will tell you what is dropping off to cause the lights

 

a) buy a code reader
b) visit an autozone
c) visit an advanced auto parts (identical to autozone)

B & C will check the code for free for you. Write down code, research, go from there. If neither are available in your area, you can call/check your local shops, most of them can tell you what code(s) you're throwing.
