Default Help! Swapped my Brembos, Now VDC/BRAKE Lights are ON?

I have a G35 Coupe, and I swapped my Brembos off for stock 350Z brakes, it was a direct swap and nothing complicated was involved. But after the swap was completed, I took it for a test run and the "VDC OFF" "SLIP" and "BRAKE" lights were on, then I restart my car and they turned off. Two days later theyre back on, now they wont turn off. My car is still under warranty and is completely stock. It has to be some sort of quick fix or maybe a sensor, anyone that could help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Check the brake fluid level.

Defintely. When the fluid gets too low all those lights you described will come on. When you bled the brakes after the swap why did you not fill the fluid to the top?

topping the brake fluid will do it. the sensor is telling you its getting too low.

Why did you swap the Brembos for stock Z calipers, unless you are selling the car? I assume you swapped the rotors as well.
