Default Help!!!05 roadster

On any hard right turn the VDC OFF , SLIP , AND BRAKE LIGHT come on. The break light will go out, but I have to turn the car off to reset the VDS , SLIP lights. I have new tires in the rear and prolly 80% in the front. Do I need to look at the brakes for an issue?.....Once again its ONLY when I get on it taking a right turn...tach maybe 5k

Sensor malfunction? Just a guess.

Is it repeatable?

By the way - tach at 5,000rpms??

What size tires are you running?

And sometimes when I do donuts(or when I used to), those lights would come on for me. Guess its just the drastic difference in speed between the front and rear wheels.

I have an 06 roadster and I don't have that problem. I did however, had that problem when one of the wires popped out of the Stillen SC piggy back. It's fine now.

So it may be a wiring issue or a sensor as Johns350 stated.

Im pretty sure Ive read that having the wrong size tires front and rear, or the wrong percentage difference, will at least cause the SLIP light to come on. Just checking anyway...
