Check your brake fluid. Mine did that when I first put on my big brake kit. The fluid was low. Filled it back up and it's been fine ever since.

no worry, just drive your car normally in the NO slope street for 2 or 3 miles....those will turn off.

This has happened to several others recently (including me). A search on this forum for VDC + BRAKE + SLIP would have gotten you to these and several other threads with potential solutions...

haha this happened to me once...i was doing donuts like crazy...bouncing off the rev limiter constantly...for a good 10+ seconds....i had every light known to man lit up on my instrument cluster...i was scared...but turned the car off and on and it was gone....but the smell of burnt rubber still lingers around :-p
