Brake Light blinks when you floor the gas
Hey guys, i have a 07 G35 journey 5AT and i have noticed that when i have the traction control on (by default) and i floor the gas, the traction light will blink (when i loose some traction) but also noticed that my brake light blinks as well. i double checked to make sure that the parking brake isnt engaged or even a little bit. has anyone seen this before? i also checked brake fluid and everything seems normal.

If it truly is the 'Brake' light, then I'd be 100% sure you top off your brake fluid. You wouldn't be the first to have had the light come on, even though the level was still well above the MIN level, yet not quite up to MAX.

Are you sure it's the 'Brake' light and not the "Slip" or "ABS" lights? Those are often provoked during wheel spin as well. Also, do you have stock sized wheels and tires on the car? Mismatches there can cause issues as well. The VDC system can and does apply the brakes during operation if necessary, but I believe it does so through the ABS system, and hence why the ABS light will sometimes illuminate.
