Default TCS/slip lights

I have a 2006 350z roadster. I had the clutch replaced, front brakes, and new tires done about 2weeks ago. Everything was fine... Yesterday I drove from Florida to North Carolina. During the trip the TCS, Slip, and service needed soon lights came on. When I stopped and restarted the car, it was harder to start than usual. What might this be? What should I have checked? Is it ok to drive back to Florida like this?

When both the TCS and Slip lights are on it is usually low on brake fluid.

Have autozone or someone check the codes on the SES light.

Let us know what you find.

Maybe bad camshaft sensor? Happened to my 03 in bank 2 with those same occurrences you mentioned.

Why would the camshaft sensor bring on the TCS and slip? That sounds like tire inflation or an incorrect difference in tire diameter between front and rear.

+1 on getting the code(s) read.

I had both lights come on in my car. It was low brake fluid. There is a sensor in the reservoir.

The problem you describe is caused by a crankshaft position sensor or a camshaft position sensor.

You need to get the code to identify which sensor (and which bank) is the problem.
