vdc, slip, brake lights on dash ?!? help

This has happened to me a few times now. Sometimes when I am driving my vdc off and slip light randomly come up on the dashboard (No, I don't hit the "vdc off" button on the side). This has happened to me a few times now. The first time it happened, I just turned off the car and it went away. But the same thing keeps recurring every now and then. Also, sometimes when I hit the throttle, my brake light comes on and then goes away as soon I let go of the gas. Car is driving fine and the same as it was before all these lights started popping up on my dash. Anybody have this issue before or know what it is? Thanks.

This happened to me a few times too, I have an 07 G35x, and it was because the brake fluid was low.

over 50 threads on this, as they said youre low on brake fluid which is mots likely cause of running low on pads.

Guys, I think this is a bit of misinformation. Typically, the lights conservatively come on very early with MANY thousand miles left on the brakes. If you just add some fluid you should be good to go for quite a bit longer, just don't forget to suck that extra fluid out when the brake pads are finally changed.

That was true to my problem... I have a 2005 Infiniti G35 Sedan with the VDC, Brake, and Slip lights on and by adding DOT 3 Brake Fluid I fixed the problem. Thank You For Your Help.
