Hey hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a good night tonight. Got a little issue I'm trying to help a friend out with. My friend's Z has been turning off VDC on it's own, at the same time the slip light comes on and this happens after the car has been on for a few minutes(3-5 I would say). Do any of you know what would cause this/how to fix? If not any recommendations on where to take the car would be appreciated.

Probably does it when he accelerates.
Fixes:
New brake pads (wearing them down will decrease level)
Top off Brake fluid
Check brake pads first so you dont have to siphon out any brake fluid when you replace them.
If that doesnt work it might be the fluid level sensor is bad.
(Basically what is happening is the VDC and traction control are being shut off by the computer because it is detecting a problem with the ABS. It disables the TCS so there arent any problems)
