VDC, slip and brake light on dashboard?

I currently own a 2009 G37XS sedan. Tonight I changed my after market tires/rims and put my original stock tires/rims back on my car after sitting in my garage for 5 years. I had NTB check the tires and everything was good to go with a fresh balance and alignment on my stock wheels. After driving away and accelerating i noticed the VDC/Slip lights came on my dashboard which I've never seen before? interesting. Also i noticed once in awhile when i accelerate i am seeing the brake light flash for 2 seconds periodically? any suggestions or thoughts to what might be going on? thanks

Top off your brake fluid and report back.

Just filled up the brake fluid it was definitely low. I'll let you know. Also, where do the speed sensors exactly sit in this G sedans?

It's kinda weird. I see this same thread a lot...but the weird part is that it's usually after someone has made a change to the car in some way. That change is also unrelated (for the most part) to the brakes, and the solution seems to always be top off the brake fluid.

I can't figure out why the day before you got new wheels, the fluid was fine...interesting coincidence...

I agree with that. Does it have to do with the stock rims and tires being heavier than the after markets causing them to suck up more break fluid? I dunno. They topped it off and I haven't seen the lights come on yet.....

I will let you all know tonight, after my appointment with Infiniti. My fluids seems to be at the proper level, I have replace the summer tires for the winter and it barely shows the lights on
