So I took my 370Z to a buddy who is a Nissan master tech at one of the dealerships here in Vegas. I had him investigate all he could as to what could be causing my super sensitive ABS Ice Mode issues and the diagnosis came back almost embarrassingly simple. Wheel speed sensors were good, ABS system did not need to be bled. The codes that were causing my VDC/Slip/E-Brake lights to stay on constantly were due to low brake fluid. This low brake fluid warning would cause the computer to instantly go into safety/ice mode under moderate braking. Topped off the fluid and what do you know, the lights on the dash went away. Fluid level was surprisingly, still above the minimum fill line, but maybe too much sloshing around under track conditions caused the issue. Not 100% sure this will fix my problem, but we'll find out on the 27th when I go back to the track. I don't think it will eliminate ice mode, but I am hoping that it decreases the sensitivity in which it kicks in. I will refrain from posting anything in the ice mode specific threads until I have some feedback.
