If you don't want to take it in to the dealer and you are trying to fix it yourself, type this in to google and you'll get about 400 results...

It sounds as though your car is going into Limp Mode. The computer is signaling the engine that the car should not be driven. As Heel Til I Die points out, there can be many faults that cause this. Two common faults are a dirty throttle body, or a faulty or dirty MAF sensor.

"Scanned but throwing no code"

Not one you can see anyways.

What kind of reader are you using? Not all of them will dig into all of the subsystems. You are definitely going into limp mode and there are myriad causes from a P2135 (or something like that, throttle position sensor) to a hardware issue unrelated to the engine itself, e.g., faulty speed sensor(s), brake sensors, etc.

Probably need a full scan with Nissan Consult III. This reads engine, brake, BCM subsytems, etc. Dealer or Nissan specific shops will all have them (plus select individuals).

OK, this is the last time this thread will be seen. You ask the same question 5 times and respond zero times to people that give you some thought on it. No more. The other threads are deleted and you will be too if you keep asking the same and not responding. Simple.

I would like to repeat Mic's message because it provides some very telling information. Not all readers are the same, The Nissan Consult III provides a more extensive analysis for Nissan cars than many of the generic readers (even the more expensive devices).

I have exactly those lights that came on on my G35 when it stalled going about 15 mph....My code is for Cam Shaft position sensor. I think there IS something to be said that the computer is trying to tell you to STOP, something seriously aint right.

So I replaced the Passenger Side cam shaft position sensor and cleared the codes. The car started and ran fine, but the VDC and SLIP came back on. I read somewhere here that sometimes the master Cylinder float level could be the culprit. I added more brake fluid to go pass the MAX line level and sure enough the light has not come back on since I did that.

Thank you for the follow up with a solution. Good catch. Gotta love the simple fixes.
