ABS,VDC,Sligh Lights on once a month

So about once a month, almost on the exact same date every month all three lights-ABS, Slip, VDC off, lights come on the dash.
It occurs after driving for 5-10 minutes and doesn't turn off until the car is turned off/on again. No other issues or things wrong when they come on but like I said it comes on just once almost every month.
Not sure what it could be or what to look for so any advice is helpful. Only thing I can think of is I have a set of 2 new front tires and the rear's are orginal with 30k on them now.
Thoughts?<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

It's haunted!!!!

J/k

Check your brake fluid level first...might need topping off.
What kinda shape are your brakes in? Have they been inspected or changed recently?

No driveability issues or any other lights/issues when it happens. Its just as simple as all 3 lights pop on at the same time.
I will check the brake fluid level.
Brakes are still original with no issues. Car's only got 30k miles on it mostly all highway.

also....if fluid and brakes are good, could be an abs sensor.

might have to take it to the stealership for that though.


GL and let us know what happens.

My 2008 6MT has developed a very similar issue. Usually when I first start to drive but at random other times. First the brake light comes on, then VDC and SLIP lights illuminate and brake light goes out. No change in drivability, can't manually cancel the VDC. Resets only by restarting. Plan to address with the dealer next time I'm in. Only happens after mild to strong acceleration. If I notice the brake light coming on, and back off the throttle, I can sometimes keep it from illuminating the other lights.

Same thing as my 08 6mt. I am replacing the brakes when the snow melts and top of the brake fluids hopefully that will solve the problem.

did you ever get this issue resolved, this is happening to me, all three lights come on randomly, restart the car and they go off and might not go come on for a few weeks. I think it might one of the front sensors going bad. Has anyone else had this issue with a bad sensor?
