DVC/Slip/Brake lights on

All of the above lights came on in my car about a month ago. obviously my traction controll isnt active anymore, but other than that, everything is fine. Any ideas of what it could be? have not had it scanned yet but will prob take it up somewhere later this week.
Thanks

You've been driving for a month with this I don't think I could go for a day!

Anyways... it could be that the brake fluid needs to be topped up, so check that, if it's not at the max line, add some. That would be the simplest reason for what you got. If it's not that then I wouldn't know what it is...

All of those lights were on in mine for quite a while.... 5 months probably

3 days ago I replaced my front pads, as they were getting a little worn and it fixed my problem. All lights are now off. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen. Anyways, I am glad that's all that was wrong with it.

the actual lights mean that the brakefluid is low. what happens is that the pads get worn down-which then gives the cilinders in the brake caliper more room to extend, that makes more room in the caliper for fluid which drains the master cilinder=low brake fluid. so when you get a new set of pads and push the caliper back in, you refil the mastercylinder. Myn was fine, but if your brakefluid is REALLY low you might need to bleed your brakes to make sure no air is in the line.

^^^ low pad = low fluid= lights comes on.
solution: replace pads, top off brake fluid, lights go away.
