Need help!!! VDC and SLIP light on!!!
So I was searching the forum but I could not find anything that could help. My vdc and slip light come on as soon as I start driving like the first few feet I move they both com on. I have had a similar problem but it was my BREAK light VDC and SLIP but I fixed that it turned out to be I didn't have enough break fluid.
But now it's my VDC and SLIP light only?
I change my rear break pads today but they still come on????
Any help will be greatly appreciated

According to your owners manual:
VEHICLE DYNAMIC CONTROL
(VDC) SYSTEM (if so equipped)
Indicator light
If a malfunction occurs in the system, the
“SLIP” and “VDC OFF” indicator lights illuminate
in the instrument panel. As long as these
indicators are illuminated, the VDC system
function is canceled.
If engine related parts such as a muffler
are not standard equipment or
are extremely deteriorated, the “VDC
OFF” indicator or “SLIP” indicator or
both indicator lights may illuminate.
Do not modify the vehicle’s suspension.
If suspension parts such as
shock absorbers, struts, springs, stabilizer
bars and bushings are not
NISSAN-approved or are extremely
deteriorated the VDC system may not
operate properly. This could adversely
affect vehicle handling performance,
and the “VDC OFF” indicator
or “SLIP” indicator or both indicator
lights may illuminate.
If brake related parts such as brake
pads, rotors and calipers are not
standard equipment or are extremely
deteriorated, the “VDC OFF” indicator
or “SLIP” indicator or both indicator
lights may illuminate.
If wheels or tires other than those
recommended are used, the VDC sys-
tem may not operate properly and the
“VDC OFF” indicator or “SLIP” indicator
or both indicator lights may
illuminate.
My first guess would be your front brake pads need to be replaced. Second, you have a malfunction in the system - it needs to be checked.

I just had the same thing happen to me last night. I just started my car and it imediately died/check engine light/VDC Off/Slip Light came on. Restarted the car, and after reving it a little it held idle no problem. Drove home no problems except my dashboard looking like a christmas tree. Reset the ECU and the VDC/Slip lights disappeared but the Check engine light is still on.

I was exagerating a bit. On the drive home the SES, VDC Off, and SLIP lights were on. Like I said, pulled ECU fuse and all but the SES light disappeared.
The car has stalled once or twice right after startup in the last year but nothing ever came of it. I wonder if they are related in some way. I would say my tire sizes might play a part however I wasn't moving and I've had this size tire on for a couple years.
Drove around all morning with no problems so I'll get the dealer to pull the code and see what comes up.

looks like i came to the right thread. my car has stalled twice this morning, and lurched a little last night. i checked the codes and im throwing a p0340 (camshaft position sensor - bank a).
so, now I need to replace this. Is this sensor approachable, or should I take it to a mechanic? Also, if it isn't too difficult, can anyone tell me where it is? Thanks.
