"Brake" sign shows up
 
sometime when I am on hill, brake sign show up and it disappear.
Or if I pull more accelerate it comes. When it comes certain period of time, traction control sign shows up entire time.

is this sign comes up because i need more brake fluid? or time to change brake pad?

2009 370z touring with sports pacakge. brake pad hasn't been replaced yet. I am planning to change rotor and pad soon. any recommend brake pad and rotor too?

Thank you.

Check to make sure the brake fluid is filled to the max line.

Memphis370Z is probably right about it being low level. You may need to fill to top of line.

A lot depends on how you drive. Plenty of threads on this site about brake pads/rotors. If the site's search isn't working well for you, try any of the major web search engines and add "site:the370z.com" to your search string.

Probably Torque RT700 :driving:

Or you could do a little research yourself :twocents:

Plus check if is time to change brake pads and do all at the same time... brake pads + new brake fluid ;) I use Motul RBF600 and almost everyone here on the forum use the same hahah!

So I had this EXACT issue. Either your brake fluid OR power steering is low. It's very sensitive, so when you accelerate or go up a hill the fluid moves back. I topped off my power steering and brake fluid with DOT 5 I believe. Can't exactly remember. Either DOT 3 or 5. Don't quote me. Lol. Brand new bottle. Never opened is what you want. I'm almost 100% that will fix your issue.
