I have a 09 x AT sedan and I been noticing on hard acceleration (no WOT) my brake indicator will flash (the light for e-brake). I first thought it might be TC but I tested today I was going from 40-60 and I light would flash around 7k rpm, there is no way I would get wheel spin at that speed especially on a awd. So does anyone know what the problem is?

 

Check brake fluid level, maybe its low?

 

does it stay on or it flickers and then goes away?

 

It turn on then goes off within a second, I'll check the brake fluid level later today.

 

Common problem. Make sure you top the brake fluid off all the way to the max line.
The G's brakefluid sensor is in a position where even a little bit of fluid drain (just from brake pad wear) can cause it to detect low fluid in heavy acceleration.

When I had the problem I read on here that I should check my break fluid and was really skeptical. I was exactly at the middle of the min-max range which is usually where I fill my fluids .

But, went and bought a small bottle, topped it off and bingo, problem went away.

 

Thanks I will try that soon!

 

Yup low brake fluid, if it goes any lower vdc off light will turn on too.

 

The fluid level is a bit under the midpoint of max and low. Should I add genuine Nissan fluid or does something that autozone carry works?

 

Anything DOT3/FMVSS116 rated (check the product label) will work.

Im partial to Castrol LMA myself, but I dont think AZ carries it. Pep Boys does if you have one close to you.

Ive also heard good things about Valvoline synth. brake fluid, which I know AZ carries.
