I stopped by performance shop anyhow after adding fluid fixed my issue to check for proper sensor alignment. (I used a NISMO diff cover so figured ABS sensor alignment should be right which it was)

They hooked up a code reader to check if my lights were caused by fluid or by sensor error. So. Yes you can check your lights with a code reader

Also as a note of general info, my lights (pictured above) came on ABOVE the "cold max" line (halfway to the "warm max" fill line). Well above the min line. I think these levels are marked in a misleading way as the systems SHOULD work as long as you are above "MIN"

I'm sorry I forgot to snap a photo before I filled/fixed it.

Glad it was simple

Well topped off the brake fluid , drove around with vdc off and no problem. As soon as I leave vdc on brake abs traction indicators come on.

No need to apologize. Glad I could help you out!

i wonder if you can reprogram the abs/vdc for different size tires?

Well found a slightly used set of nitto nt555 255/45/18 with 90% tread left for $200. Will this put everything back into line and will this be ok up front with a 18x9.5+22?

You'll be fine. I'm running 255/45 +20.

Xmas treed again driving around Denver!!

Turns out the $500 master cylinder has a float which sometimes doesn't float.

Fix is to open the master fill cap, jiggle the float and you are good. Crap part!
