This morning I went to warm up the car. Upon start up all lights on the dash seemed fine. Then when I began to drive it a few lights went on, brake, slip, vdc off, and [!]tps. I ran it for about half a mile until i pulled over and turned the car off for a minute. I turned the car back on and the lights were still there. I drove the car for a good 2 miles or so with those lights still lit up. There's no CEL light lit up, just those 4 lights. I have an 04 5AT coupe w/ almost 82k. Anyone have an idea why this happend? Thanks
I have been told by a dealer, that your dash lights , light up like that when your brake fluid is low. If yout brake fluid is low, your vdc, slip system will not work. They also mention that your brake pad might by low.

Okay. so another forum member on g35driver had the same problem and he had it checked out at the dealer. He said it was his speed sensor that was out of place that caused it. I figured it was the same for me since i did have to temporarily move it upon installation of my springs. I checked and it was fine. Then i checked my brake fluid level which was mid level between MAX and MIN, so i added a little bit to fill it to MAX. I drove it a couple miles and the VDC and SLIP light turned off. BRAKE is still on.. I'm thinking it may be my rear pads.. i'll check them out tonight.
