VDC off and wheel slip lights on dash....

SPOHN · 10-14-2011, 07:20 PM

In case I missed it. If the VDC light comes on when you have turned it off, the VDC is not off 100%. I believe it shuts it off to about 90% leaving 10% still active. But this usually happens when the car is pushed hard.

You might want to check your brake reserviour, probably close to my level.

My brake reserviour is exactelly between Maximum and minimum, i Will Try to fill it at the Max, but i don't think it's that

cossie1600 · 10-15-2011, 01:53 AM

don't overfill it as the next time you change pads you will have a huge mess.

mike0983 · 10-15-2011, 10:48 AM

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.

johnwiki · 11-09-2015, 08:17 AM

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!
