Default Help! Vdc Light Brake Slip

All a sudden my Brake + Vdc + Slip lit up while driving and remains on. Anyone ever have this same issue?

Change tires lately? Checked your brake fluid and pads?

Get the car scanned to see if there are any codes for a brake light switch.

I recently started having the same problem. I need to take it somewhere and have them figure it out.

Same question to you: Change tires lately? Checked your brake fluid and pads?

Seriously,

A. Pull that lever with the picture of the open hood on it (below gas door button), you will hear it pop.
B. Go to the front of the car, slide hand in between hood and bumper and release latch found in the center.
C. Lift hood and place hood prop (long stick found near the bumper) in small hole, indicated on hood.
D. Open small cover labeled "Brake" on the drivers side by pressing the latch release and lifting, place in safe location.
E. You will find two containers, examine the rectangle container with the larger round cap, this is the "Brake Fluid Reservoir".
F. On the side of the brake fluid reservoir, look for the level indicators marked "Max" and "Min".
G. Comparing the fluid in the reservoir to the indicators on the side, what statement below most closely resembles its condition?

1. The fluid is at or near the "Max" line
2. The fluid is in between the "Max" and "Min" lines but closer to the "Max" line
3. The fluid is in between the "Max" and "Min" lints but closer to the "Min" line
4. The fluid is near or at the "Min" line
5. The fluid is below the "Min" line

Report your findings here.
