First time encountering this issue..as I was driving I went through a slight dip on the road and applied the brakes..the abs, slip and vdc off light comes on. I turned off the car and stepped on the brakes again, the lights show up. Also I turned the car off again.. Stepped on the brakes, started up the car, I felt a the brake pedal pulsated with a noise.

Abs pump going bad? Abs sensor? I'll have to jack up the car and look in the morning. Just trying to see if anyone encountered this problem and have a fix for this.

Edit:
New power slot rotors front and rear (2 months ago)
New nismo pads front and rear (2 months ago)
Fluids recently checked today and is full.

Thanks in advance
Eric

Yeap, low brake fluid and/or worn pads.

 

Gtfo devil? Lol because of my post count? It was well over a 1000 last year.. And currently using my phone on the forum.

You forgot to point out i have a decent amount of itrader feedback

 

That's odd.. I installed brand new power slot rotors And brand new nismo pads for my brembo brakes 2 months ago. I forgot to mention earlier fluid levels are fine.

 

check ur fluidd

 

Already checked and it's full

 

"Stepped on the brakes, started up the car, I felt a the brake pedal pulsated with a noise."

That's the ABS doing its usual self-test. You won't feel it if your foot isn't on the pedal, but you might hear the sound.

 

Ah ok good to know thanks!

 

Ok start ur car and foot completely of the brake!.. Then turn engine off....pump the brake? How many pump till it get hard!? Or is it spongy??

 

thats what i did when i had the problem. i did topup the fluid.but still i got the lights...switch off the engine and pump till it get hard.. start the engine and its gone till now..

 

Just stepping on the brake pedal all the way down also causes the lights to show up.. I don't see any leaks either.. The car drives normally but not sure if the abs actually works.

 

Sound like u have air in your abs or brake system Gonna need a scan tool and bleed each on the abs out or a wheel speed sensor went bad!? ....o and never top off your fluid!! That when u you check for leaks!!! It gotta go somewhere!!

 

I just looked at the brake master cylinder and there's actually more fluids in there than yesterday..ill have to take some out tomorrow.

 

Found out today my brake lights are not working. Fuses are fine..So possibly the brake light switch on the brake pedal? Thanks in advance.
