First, I've had my 2008 G35X for a week now, and absolutely love it.

A couple of days ago all the above lights came on while I was driving. I had just hit a pot hole, and I think it came on after that. I pulled over right away, and turned the car off, then back on. Once the car was started the lights did not reappear. I didn't hit the pot hole too hard, and I didn't notice any difference in the handling of the vehicle, so I figured it was just a fluke?

Anyway, tonight on my may home from work it came on again. This time I had just gotten off of the freeway, and was on a surface road sitting in a left turn lane. Things were pretty snow-covered, so I clicked the snow option on. After negotiating the left turn, I notice the slip light is on, and figure "wow it must be slippery", I let off the throttle, and it's still on, that's when I notice the AWD, ABS, and VDS lights are on too.

At the next light I turned the car off, and on again - same result, all the lights stay off. Again, I didn't notice any difference in handling, but I didn't try to lose the back end, or lock up the wheels.

Anyone else run into this???

 

it happened to me today...b/c we got alot of snow today..and i was driving up a hill and my VDC,SLIP,and ABS lights were on..they didnt turn off..but when i god off work and started my car up..the lights disappeared...

 

There is a TSB on this subject. I think it has to do with your brake fluid level.

 

Thanks.

Where can I go to look-up TSBs?

I looked on the http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/ site, and didn't see anything.

had this prob in my 04. low fluids and or need for for new pads cause the systems to choose between ABS and VDC/Slip. Abs always wins in this scenario and sends the vdc/slip into FAILSAFE mode causing lights to come on. WHen engine restarts, it resets, until brakes are used and problem of some sort, like low fluid , is detected and it does it again. WOrn pads use more fluid - system thinks is is low. Or just low fluids... either way, check fluids and pads,. WIllling to bet a top off of fluids will remedy the problem. It did mine.

 

Thanks, I'll take a look at the fluids. Only 500 miles on the car, so it can't be the pads.

 

Going to get this problem fixed toommmrrow

 

Just checked the fluid levels and they are fine. Can't be the pads, only 500 miles on the car.

Guess I'll look to bring it in.

 

Brake switch replaced... We will see if this fixes it.

 

yesterday my vcd, and slip lights came on for no reason. turned the car off then on again and they were gone. i wonder what would cause that?

 

I would just take it in you are under warranty let them deal with it

 

Posted this in a few other threads, hope thats not an issue....hopefully someone can help. Slip, VDC off, AWD, and ABS all came on during normal driving. Have stayed on for a day now. 2005 G35x with 30,000 miles....

I have stock wheels/tires on the car so OD should be the same...

brake fluid levels look fine, close to maximum.

What else can i do before i bring it in? Where is the brake sensor located? how do i reset my ECU and will that have any negative effects? Is it my front brakes?

I bought this car used at a honda dealership but should still have a standard infinity warranty, should this be covered?

sorry for all the questions guys...

 

This happened to me on my last car (VW R32). I had hit a pretty serious pothole. What it turned out to be was the alignment. The VDC sensed that all 4 wheels were not moving at the same speed.
The neat thing about the VDC system is that it also sensed one time when I had very low tire pressure in one tire, due to a nail. Saved me from having a flat on the side of the road, and/or having to buy a new tire. The car didn't have TPMS.

 

Whoops i forgot to respond to this thread..

After having the BRAKE SWITCH replaced, i am HAPPY to report, i have not had a reoccurance again!!

It used to light up every other day resulting in me having to pull over and restart the car. I have tried everything including hammering the brakes, ripping acceleration, and I cannot get the lights to shoot out again.

therefore, PROBLEM SOLVED!!
