Default HELPPPP: SLIP & TCS Light ONNNNN "NEWBIE HELPPPP"

Hey All,

Newbie on board, got a few small issue.

the SLIP / TCS light comes on the moment I start driving / rolling the car out of the driveway.

Sometime I can feel the slip / tcs kick in (similar to abs kicking in). Sometime only the lights comes on with no sign of it kicking in.

This issue only comes on "After" I replaced the steering wheel and the nismo cluster. Can this be related? I read that there's a "steering angle sensor" that might be affected???

Can anyone give me some insight on this ?? the light is getting very annoying and I want to get it fixed asap

Cheers
Chris

could probably be alot of things, but for me, it was low brake fluid... 2sec to double check that both reservoirs are good, easy place to start, mine was at the min line and still gave that warning.

Thanks for the kind reply....

I have checked on the fluid level and it seems perfectly normal

- Brake pads are in good shape
- Steering wheel is "slightly" off centre
- Tires with good threads

Come on, please offer a hand

Stupid traction is kicking in like crazy in the last 2 days (only after the initial move of the car after firing up).

I will try and pull the code again, the last time was "angle position sensor"......
