Default Brake Light On and no VDC

Hey everyone,

For quite some time now my red brake light always stays on. With this the yellow VDC light is also one telling me that VDC is off. The SLIP Light is on as well. Does this mean its time for new brakes? I have not noticed a decrease in my ability to brake at all. Should I bring the car in for servicing?

Thanks

I changed my front brakes and strangely enough all the lights are now off. The original brakes still had a lot of tred left. I wonder why the car's computer is set to throw all the lights on when you really dont need new brakes.

Changing the brakes was very easy. I printed the instructions from the site on how to change the brake pads but in the end I didnt even need them.

Probably means your brake fluid is low. It could be caused by worn pads. If the pads aren't worn, you need to add brake fluid.
