It happened two nights in a row. "Break", "VDC", "SLIP" all lighted up after i started up the car, and continued to stay on until I turn off the ignition. And they light up again after restart. Everything is working fine, and yes, E-break was released all the way and I did not disengage VDC after ignition. The only thing that i can think of is the cold weather. Everything seems normal during the day (nothing came on). In both instances, all three lighted up ONLY at night, around 60 degree according to the thermometer. Any ideas?
Sorry about the quality of the pics, took it while driving with my phone. And I didn't buckle up, hence the "seat-belt" light. Thanks everyone!

That happened to me before. Because I pulled the VDC fuse out for track. It goes away after I put it back on and restart the car.
Maybe your connection with the VDC fuse isn't working well or VDC fuse is gone, check the fuse box under the battery cover.

brake pads are low...happened to me.....when the pads are worn down they require more fluid to get them to grip....this causes the fluid levels to dip causing the car to fail it's ABS and VDC tests...which disables the systems and causes the lights to come on.
Same thing happened to me the other day. Running with VDC off, weather was warm. As I approached a red light the ebrake light flashed and then the tach started spiking. Car ran fine. After a while everything was normal. Since then, no problems.

Never would have thought that was the cause. Nice.

For the few of you who follow this thread, Jason at Performance Nissan took real good care of me. They found out that not only I'm low on brake fluid, all 4 disks were wearing thin and all the pads need to be replaced. Jason recommended StopTech's stage two (pads, rotors, steel brake lines, and fluid) and I went with it. Although labor was costly ($500 somethin'), it was well worth it. So Noah was right!

Can't promise you that's the solution, but I'll say top off fluid and see if it goes away. And have your brakes checked. It's better to find out sooner than later when you find out you have no brakes by crashing into something.



Anybody else's airbag light stay on and flash while you drive???
