Brake light/TPS light/VRC OFF/SLIP always on?

After accelerating hard or driving for an extended period of time the Break light will come on for 3-5 seconds, then the TPS, VRC OFF, and SLIP lights will come on and stay on until the vehicle is turned off and started again. Has anyone else experienced this issue and what was the solution?

Inspect your brake fluid level... if low, inspect brake pads...

I had the same issue with mine a few weeks ago, all she needed was new brake pads front and rear. Just look at your brake fluid reservoir, if it is low you probably need new pads. Don't add fluid, replace the pads.

Same thing happened to my wife's G35. You need brake pads. You can add brake fluid to the reservoir to buy you a little time, but that's just a bandaid.

Your fluid level is low. But agree with xtremeroller, when you change out your pads, that will press your fluid level back where it should be. You could top it off to get rid of the light from coming on, but you'll have to remove some fluid when changing your pads. I know all of this because I did exactly that.
