HELP!? - Replaced rotors, pads, lines, fluid - now SLIP, VDC, BRAKE light are on?
Help! What did I do wrong?!?
This past weekend, I put my 04 coupe 6mt on jackstands and replaced:
The OEM Brembo Rotors with StopTech 2-piece Slotted Rotors
The OEM Brembo Pads with Project Mu Titan Kai brake pads
The OEM Brake lines with StopTech Stainless Steel lines
The Brake fluid with Motul 600 DOT 4 brake fluid.
After bleeding the system (BOTH nipples on each caliper), I did a quick
test of the brakes, then took it out to a lonesome road and performed
a Brake Bedding procedure. Several hard stops from 60-10, then several hard stops from 80-10, then a cooling off extended drive. Everything worked fine.
THE PROBLEM:
Today, I drove the car for the first time since this weekend, and the SLIP, VDC OFF, and BRAKE lights come on and will not go off???
The car still brakes fine...as a matter of fact, if I brake *really* hard, the brake light will go off for a few seconds, but then come back on.
My brake fluid is between the MIN and MAX lines, & the car stops well.
I turned the car off and on a few times, but the 3 lights still come on?
What happened? What does this mean? What did I do?
Thanx in advance for your advice.

Your brake fluid needs to be at the Max line. Not between. The brake light comes on when your fluid is low and half way between usually triggers that light.

I would suspect that you didn't plug in the connector on one of your wheels. Go back and check each wheel and see if any of the connectors are loose.

I agree, add more fluid and see what that does. If you're braking hard, the light goes away, cuz the fluid in the resivoir moves and shifts upward, so it seems more full, the light goes away. Then you come to a complete stop, no momentum, fluid goes back down, light comes back on.
