So, i just changed my front brake pads, and when i turned the car on to take it around the black, the "VDC off", SLIP, and parking brake light are on. Even when the parkling brake is off the light is still on. I dont know why that would happen...

brake fluid is right below the max line, i bled them properly and everything. its not the first time ive changed brake pads, but it is the first on the Z, but everything is put back how its supposed to be. so i dont know whatsup with it

for ur parking break, this is not a joke, but tring driving in a wide street, for ur saftey make sure theres no cars, and go about 15 miles and jus pull the e brake, and take it off, the light would go off... im guessing it will work, cuz my frend had a problem with the his rpm, it was stuck on 2000 and he downshifted not too hard but it moved again..

Wait - did you only change the front pads or did you do that plus bleed the brakes?

Changing pads shouldn't cause the lights to come on unless you let the fluid get low. Since you claim that didn't happen, then it's not low fluid. Chances are that you damaged or disconnected one of the wheel speeds sensors or cables while changing the pads.

....and how would the parking brake have ANYTHING to do with the front brakes?

yea i only changed the front and bled them, the fluid did get low after i bled them and then i filled it back up, and the only "cable" i moved was the brake line, i didnt touch anything else

I don't know if this would do anything, but did you try and disconnect the battery for awhile and reconnect?

i havent tried it. but i will, possible stupid question butttt, that wont harm anything else right????

It shouldn't. It'll reset your stereo to default settings, but I don't really think it'll cause "problems". You have to do this when you're doing anything electrical anyway. i.e. installing a new stereo, etc.

You're willing to drive down the street and pull up the e brake but you're scared that taking the battery cable off will hurt something?

In most cars, if a code is thrown, the light comes on. If the condition doesn't repeat, then the lights go out after a certain number of startups. Glad to hear the lights went out.
