Guarantee it was the brake fluid.

Also, I'm shocked you havent run into this at the track yet. I get it almost every time I go out, thanks to the stupid weeping bleeders.

I have had many brake fluid change outs so I guess this kept it topped off full. I had a little more than half my fluid in my reservoir. Does this happen when VDC is already off already?

I tested my traction light on our way to dinner this evening. It worked and all is well.

Yeah, that'll do it. I'm lazy with it sometimes, so I always bring an extra container of fluid with me to top off at the track.

Had the same issue after a track day. Slip and VDC stayed on after reving past 4000 and then would clear after shutting the car off. My brake fluid was a little less than half. Filled it up, no more lights! Thanks guys!

yo this ish is hilarious. :icon17: Op, your vdc just turned off?

A wild douche appears! (yo)

Can't believe it took until post 14 for someone with knowledge to speak up. Sheesh.

Probably because the title was cryptic enough that one may not link it to brake fluid?

Not all of us can read every post lol

Ive been battling this problem (or a very similar one) for about a year! I get intermittent brake/vdc/slip/abs lights coming on at very random times.

Ive checked my reservoir (full)
Ive tried to pull codes off computer (it does not store brake codes apparently)
Ive taken the car to brakes plus who couldnt figure out the problem

next step is to take it to (oh no!!!!) the .... dealer.

I hate the dealer. While its there I guess ill have them upgrade my SLU, but I dont like problems that cant be easily fixed at the auto parts store!

I suspect I have either a bad abs sensor, or a faulty master cylinder quantity sensor.

This thing drives me crazy cause it comes on at random lasts a few days then goes away at random. Maddening!

Download the FSM. There is a lot of good troubleshooting info plus descriptions and drawings that show what I/O the system uses.

If you suspect the brake fluid level switch, a simple continuity tester will tell you what the switch is doing.

I got my answer day one so no harm or foul.

Thanks again for your help weeks ago.
