VCD ABS SLIP all lit up

I have a problem with my 2007 G35S auto sedan, all stock.
When I start the car and put into drive and proceed, the dashboard console
would make weird whirring sound, then the SLIP light lit up,
then my brake would vibrate and making grinding noise if i
press the pedal more than half way.
After that, the acceleration would hesitate,
then the car would drive back to normal but at this time all the VCD ABS SLIP
would lit up. I've checked power steering fluid and it is full, my brake pads are ok,
nothing obstructing the wheels under the car that i could see.
My battery and alternator are fine per autozone tech.
Anything else I should check?
Please help.
BTW, where is the brake fluid located? I couldn't find it to check the fluid level. TIA.

I would take it to the dealer and do a diagnostic test and they should pinpoint what the issue is. I managed to find this link with a very similar issue but obviously on a different generation g.
Hope this helps!

did you check the fuse? Not sure if it could be that but won't hurt to check.

your break fluid is located under the driverside cover near the firewall...it is about 4 inches long 2 inches tall and 2 inches long.

I had the exact 3 lights pop up on my 08X last week. It would happen after driving a bit and if I shut down the car and restarted it would eventually come back. It was a bad brake switch and covered by my warranty. The fault codes will store in your ECU and the dealer can quickly pinpoint.

^^ I've had the same thing happen. If the 'brake pedal depressed' switch is erroneously tripped (by being out of adjustment), the car goes into limp mode when you try to drive it since it thinks the brakes a being applied while you're trying to accelerate. And yes, it definitely sets off the whole christmas tree worth of lights.

The culprit is your brakes and rotors. You said you hear grinding when you press the brake. The lights only mean 3 things
1. Brake fluid low
2. Time to change pads NOW!
3. A burned out fuse

Once you have ruled out these then go to the dealership because I can gaurantee you it's one of the above
