Default ABS, Brake, TCS, and SLIP are on, no codes

i have a 2004 350z 6 speed and i'm not exactly sure of the model but it has cruise on the steering wheel and traction control...

I can reset the maintenance light and all of the lights go off, but when i drive it down the road and press the brakes they stop fine.. but they go down to stop but then compress further and this kicks all of the warning lights on again.

I've bled the brakes, checked the fluid multiple times, and i'm clueless. I had an older mechanic tell me it could be a caliper sticking but i'm not sure.. If you've got any advice let me know

I would have to play with it a bit. Sucks it could be a $2 simple fix or a $1200 abs control unit.

^ yeah I've seen where the abs unit has went out on some people after an alignment. ***I should've mentioned that my tires on the front and rear are over/undersized.

I just recently upgraded my wheels from 17' to 19' and since the front tires are 235 35 19, and 255 45 19 in rear , the computer doesnt recognize the tire differential causing it to trip and the abs, brake, slip light comes on. I had called Firestone , the guy that installed the wheels say i need to go with small tires in rear 245 35 19, must be 35 series for both to work and deactivate the code.

^^ The installer is correct... The 45 series on your car is about a 5% difference from stock. That is way too big a difference. --Spike
