Cheap fix.
I had the same problem and the dealer told me the same thing. So I change my brake pads and added more fluid, VDC and Slip has not come back on.

All of my brakes are new. I changed them about 2 weeks ago, so it's not the brakes, I even replaced the front two sensores and cleaned it. I'll try the brake fluid thing today.

There is no reason for the lights to come on, and even to act strange. Nothing really happend for the lights to come on, and like I said in my previeous post the right front brake just braked by it's self, and this happend couple of times already. Whenever I try tu make a U turn.

One more thing I noticed the other day. When my car is still and the tires are straight and I turn it to right all the way the VDC and SLIP light start to come one and stay on untill I turn the engine off. Could this be the "STEERING ANGLE SENSOR".

Turned the engine off, started back up and the vdc and slip lights were gone.

Drove straight to dealer and they ended up changing the throttle body. I guess this was the 1st time the dealer has done this on an 05. I guess this was a known issue on 03/04.

Car's been running fine since.

this happened to me,

imma take it in soon...btw what dealer did u take it too?

6mtpnut,

Took it to Tustin Infiniti. They had the car for half a day and all was good.

I guess they've never seen this on an 05 yet. The service manager mentioned this was more common on 03 and 04's.

FYI, I had the same problem with my 04 Sedan Auto. It was fixed druing my 15k tune up. I was told (as everyone has eluded to in this thread so far) that it is in fact a brake fluid "pressure" issue that arises most often when your brake pads are worn and or when the system is not "bled" correctly when replacing certain brake components.
There you have it. Go forth and do great things....

I finally fixed the problem it was the steering angle sensor. Because of that, whenever I was standing still and was turning the will the lights would come on. So now it's all good, and thx to everyone who responded to this thread.
