Default VDC Problem????

Well guys I have a 2003 350z I recently purchased. The problem is when I turn my VDC off it just lights up the VDC off light as well as the SLIP light as soon as the car starts moving. If I leave the switch alone The VDC off light comes on as well as the SLIP light. I am thinking their could be a problem with the system, any idea what sensors are in use with the VDC system. Any help would be appreciated. I just dont want to take it to the dealer..

THANX

also if the light doesnt come on and you turn vdc off. does the slightest launch set off all the lights?

It is not even the slightest launch. It is more like I put the car into gear and just moved forward.. Onr thing though is my steering wheel is quite a bit off due to an alingment and I am thinking that may be part of the problem I am experience. I read that their was a steering a sensor that may be the problem.

It is a weird and confusing thing to me though..

It's the alignment, I had the same problem. You shouldn't be drivin around with a wacked out alignment, anyway.

there's a steering position sensor in the steering column that is probably being thrown off by your jacked up alignment. Your wheels probably aren't facing the direction that your steering column thinks they should be.
