The VDC,Slip, and Brake indicator lights!

Here is my situation....yesterday i was on my out to make some stops and i noticed that my vdc and slip light indicator came on after a short distance from my house. i pulled over and checked the wheels to see if there was anything funny and decided to turn the car off and restart it again. After i did that the indicator lights did not come on for the whole trip even after the 4 to 5 times i made stops on my journey. This morning i had to go to work and when i turned my G on the vdc, slip, and brake indicators came on! They stayed on on my way to work and when i reached work i turned the car off and on like 2 to 3 times and the lights stayed on! on my way back home i the lights stayed on but after i played with the emergency brake i noticed the brake indicator light came off after like a min. The Vdc and slip light stayed on and still stayed on when i reached home and turned the car off and on 2 to 3 times!

Has this happened to anyone before and what do u think could be causing this.
I notice no difference in the feel of the cars drive either.......

i change my headers to put borlas and rotors to put the the drilled slotted ones and now everytime i start my car and drive it for a few feet the abs system locks the wheels and the whole car just BRAKES real hard (without me touching the brake just simply giving it a little bit of gas) it locks frequently for like 2 or 3 times until my VDC and SLIP light come on and then the braking stops for good until i turn off my car for awhile and turn it on again the samething happens over again..can someone please help me find out whats going on

Check the brake fluid level and put in whatever it takes to put it at the full level.

You may want to use an OBD reader and see if it tossed any codes. You may need one that can read ABS.

I had the same situation on my 04 G35 now. My brakes started squeaking as well. Please let me know what you find out.

if your brake suddenly squeals, its pretty obvious u need pads..

check your pad life and brake fluid..

wow, thanks for the constructive input.

One valid point, we should all use the search facility more vigilantly before posting regardless of how many posts we've contributed to.......................

I had the same vdc, slip, and brake indicator lights all lit after driving a short distance. After searching this site, I found that the brake fluid was a little low. When I checked under the hood, it was filled to the "min" position. When I filled it to max, all the lights went off. I haven't had the problem since.

Thanks

^Exact same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. My brake fluid level was just above MIN, I filled it to MAX and I haven't had any dash lights come on since.
