I just started my car and the Brake, Slip and VDC off lights are all on and staying on. I tried restarting the car and nothing. Then I tried resetting the computer and nothing. Anyone have this happen before? What should I do?

 

try driving it about 100 feet and see if it resets

 

try disconnecting the battery for 5-10 minutes

 

same thing happened to my friend, he went to the dealer and all they did was disconnect the battery for 5 mins.

 

I just tried the battery disconnect and it didn't work either. It sat for about 20 minutes disconnected. I have it off again and will let it sit longer. Anyone know WTF this is? The manual says that if the slip and vdc lights come on together that something with the vdc is malfunctioning. But my brake light is on as well. hmm, not good!

 

hmmm.. check all of ur wheel speed sensors c if ne of them came loose. happened to one of the cars b/c after lowering the car we mounted the sensors the wrong way onto the strut body. after driving for a couple weeks his vdc, slip, and brake light came on. we noticed the connectors came loose. good luck.

 

Thanks. What does a wheel speed sensor look like? I was also told it could be the brake sensor under the steering wheel.

 

You wouldn't have disconnected the plugs in back of the brake pedal to do standing burn outs would you? If so, maybe they weren't plugged back in properly.

 

did u try driving around after disconnecting the battery?? if i remember correctly the g/z has sensors in both front wheels. if u look there is a wire running from the hub of the wheel to the strut body to the inner fender well. the connector being on the inner fender well and the sensor being in the hub. its the only wire there, dont get it confused w/the brake line. but the brake line is easy to spot its much thicker and runs directly into the brake caliper.

 

When my 2002 maxima blew a maf sensor it did that. But if its driving fine it cant be that. So i would just keep the battery off for 24 hours.

Thanks Glen

 

Sounds Like the Connector to the Mass Air Flow sensor

Has been Shorted to ground - ( of course not install backwards.. )

There is an arrow of air flow.. Duh !

Is your machine Stock - or have after market intake?

Cheers Amy -

 

Not stock, see sig

 

mine did that with the MAF.. took it to the dealer and had them remove the code and its all good now.

 

Washed the car yesterday and noticed that one of the wheels was filthy, so I checked my brake fluid level and sure enough it was nearly empty. Turns out I must have loosened up the brake line when I installed the spacers. I tightened up the bolt and added fluid and wallah the lights went off.
Thanks for your help everyone!
