Default Help~

i need help from you guys...i own a 2003 350Z (touring edition). lately, when i drive my car, i see the "brake" sign along with "slip" and "VDC off" signs. is it because my brakes are worn out? someone told me it might be because my tires are worn out. if anyone had the same problem, please help me out. thanks~

you should have 225/45/18 and 245/45/18, if you don't it may cause vdc light even though u are not slipping. check the wheel section and read tire size thread

Tire size is fine.

a. Check brake fluid level.
b. Check brake pads.

If neither solves the problem then take it to Nissan for more serious diagnostics.
