mike, your pads are wearing out, sucking down the fluid. when you replace the pads and reservoir goes back up. it will go away. do not just fill it now as you will overflow when new pads are put in

Yup..this is correct. Had the lights come on in my G35c a while back ago. The pads were low and brakes were bad. Did a break job and problem fixed.

wheee! 10-15-2011 02:38 PM

Awesome help and support to everyone! Thanks to AK for this great forum!!

Long, irrelevant, story leading up to this, but at one point I intentionally adjusted my parking brakes (the adjustment you make through the peep-holes on the rear brake discs) all the way to the "loose" setting and drove around like that for a few days. It caused exactly what you were describing: during hard accel, the parking brake light would randomly light up at times. I think when it's too loose, under hard accel (or perhaps during the snap of upshifts under hard accel?), the very loose brake gets bumped or moved somehow and manages to grab something in a way that triggers the light on the dash.

With the adjustment all the way loose like that, I also really couldn't engage the brake normally at all. You could yank the parking brake lever all the way up with virtually no force at all, and the car would still roll. I imagine if your brakes were that far out of whack, you'd notice (unless you never use the parking brake lever?). In any case, check parking brake adjustment at the rear wheels and in the center console.

topped the fluid up a little and the lights have not reappeared after a night of regular driving with snow tires on. It is 0 degrees celcius here tonight.... yay Canada...!

I had the exact same issue with both VDC and skid lights constantly lit, I got my car oil sprayed today and odly enouoh the issue went away.

I had a similar kind of issue after i did my 4.08/VLSD swap. In the morning (only below 70 degress F) my ABS and skid light will come on (VDC on). Im usually on the highway when it comes on, so when i exit and get to a stoplight and restart they go away. My diff cover is cracked, and i will be replacing it soon but i havent tried adding brake fluid.

I have this issue as well. Just started last week while on the track. My brake fluid is at max...

I've got the same issue just started recently. Comes on 100% of the time right when I start the car, even with full brake fluid. Tis a bummer.

I had a wheel sensor replaced, but that didn't fix it. Waiting to get a more detailed diagnosis now. This thing has cost me three track days. :( Let me know if you learn more!

Same here. Consult tool test determined front left wheel speed sensor which I replaced immediately with no results:icon14:

Do you have any mods on your car? I'm running EcuTek, though I have not had issues with it until now. I also just got my calipers rebuilt, but again, I had those inspected after the incident.
