I moved your post because this is usually a brake issue. You've already eliminated the two steps I was going to suggest so you'll have to wait someone more knowlegeable.

so when I start up the car the vdc and slip light is not on, but if I turn my steering wheel completely to the left it comes right on? Any suggestion what it can be ? Maybe faulty sensor ? Thank you

All it takes something small to get between the pad and caliper to throw it off. Also you might have damaged the caliper piston when you compressed them to get out old pads.

the light has been there even before I changed the brakes so I don’t think it’s the calipers. But sometimes before vdc and slip light comes on and I’m about to pull out of my driveway and turn right my car does like a drag noise from the drivers side brakes. Kind of like if the brake is stuck with the rotor or something is stuck and I just keep going then it stops and vdc light and slip will stay illuminated. Any ideas ?
