Let me rewind a little. I had to stomp on the brakes under a panic situation and I saw the VDC and Traction control light go off. I figured it was the system letting me know that I probably shouldn't go from 70mph to 0 so quickly. From that point on I now see the VDC and Traction control light come on under WOT with the combination of hitting a bump or something. It doesn't happen often... then again im not WOT often.

I'm going to take my car into get serviced. I'll post back with results.

Have you checked the fluid before you take the time to take it in?

Let me clear a few things up here. Those lights are associated with more than traction control. Your VDC system relies on engine speed signals to help regulate the throttle input. These lights will come on if you have a cam sensor go bad. They will come of if a speed sensor goes bad, if an abs solenoid fails, if your steering angle sensor is not calibrated correctly, if the fluid is low, if there is a variation in the speeds between individual wheels. The list goes on. You should know an important bit of information. IF the lights are all on together and stay on, your ABS is disabled. The system acts as a standard hydraulic brake system. Get it scanned and fixed, use quality parts, it's an expensive car don't try to save a few bux using cheap *** autozone parts.

to what he said about going wide open throttle and having the lights flash when driving over a bump, yeah the lights should be flashing they are telling you that that the car had to cut power because you drove over a bump at wot and the wheels started slipping

if the lights just flash and go out combined with you doing something that may cause wheel slip, then they are just telling you that the car is doing it's job andeverything is normal. if the lights come on and stay on then something is wrong this is in the owners manual.

Im working through the same issue...

Is SRM/speedo/milage/active MPG monitor working? Mine is not and I have all the same lights.
Mine is an issue somewhere with the abs actuator/wss-abs system. Had my buddy who is a master tech at Nissan scan it with Consult 3 and they could not find the issue.

Every time the engine start getting very hot this 3 light will show up. I went to the service center of Nissan, if say that the fan are getting very weak and need to change a new moto.
I have bough the moto but have not change it, hope this will help.

Help! VDC, ABS, and Traction lights on out of no where
 
Not sure if it helps, but had the same problem after fitting my GReddy TT, one of the ABS sensor wires got cut off / split somehow, also the steering needed recalibrating in Consult III as I removed the steering knuckle and pushed the steering column higher so I can work in there :)

Reading the errors in Consult III helped a lot, obviously.
