I don't know if it helps but when I got my spacers installed they actually ended up torching my studs or something and burnt one of my 'speed sensors'..? That caused all of those lights to go on for me until they replaced it. Of course, I had a CEL as well and they checked it through reading that

I just swapped out base brakes with Sport Calipers and Spec R springs and the same thing happened to the car when I was done. We topped off the brake fluid the disconnected the (-) terminal on the battery for 45min to reset the ECU. The lights went away, then came back. The car was driven for a wile and the lights went off on there own. I never touched the wheel sensors during my work, I have no idea why the lights came on, I think the ECU just needed time to learn the new setting it is getting from the new input from the sensors.

Now we have the E-Brake light coming on when we shift from 3rd to 4th gear. Crazy Cars these Z's.

Everything in the manuals points to ABS wheel sensors. For the Slippery/VDC dash lights. The tire pressure light probably means they damaged one of your TPS senors when the removed the tires. Most shops can reset the TPS to your car. Dealer charges 25 to 50 to reset them depending on the dealer being a good one or crap.

Not the first Time: E Brake, then VDC & Traction indicator stayed lit after hill SF climb

I know that it might be a little late on this post but i just experinced the same problem. OEM tire sizes are 245-40R19 in front and 275-35R19 in the back. If you put a taller tire in the back then smaller in the front it will throw these codes. I had 245-40R19 in the front and 275-45R19 in the back and it threw Brake, Abs, VDC and slip. When you first start the car it wont thorw the codes until you drive at a consistent speed and the computer can sense that there is a problem. I put 275-35R19 in the rear and havent had the problem since. it was a costly mistake on my part
