Vdc Turns Off While Driving

[NISSAN GTR]

should be off all the time anyway, get it disconnected piece of shite.

For the sake of $30 I would VERY strongly recommend some fully synthetic Dot 5 fluid .... dot 3 has a WAY too low boiling point, and if you do any sort of hills or track work you will find out the hard way!

it has an off switch (or fun switch if you own a manual)

but it is always on. as for removing it. its not like an R32. pull this thing out and the car don't go.

andrew,

yep DOT 5 is the way to do things. mind you some people will cut corners to save a $ or two. I use DOT 5 in my van and that does not do any hard stops. piece of mind for me.

so to answer my question about why it turned off and and the slip light stayed on, if the break fluid is at a good level, it could be the breaks ?

i took a close look at the disc but i really have no idea when it comes to any thing break related... any help or advice would be awsome

Hi Cruzen,

I'm experiencing the exact same thing, been checking the forum all night to see if there's a fix for this issue.

Did you find out what the problem was?

Hi there, I just picked up a V36 370GT S Coupe. I have the same problem. The stock Japanese tyre size is 225 45 19 on the front and 245 40 19 on the rear. The compliance workshop fitted 245 40 19 on both the front and rear. Could this be what is making my slip light and VDC off illuminate. The VDC will not reset until the engine is restarted.

Any feedback appreciated

Chris

Hi,

Has anyone experienced their VDC turning off while driving ?

This has happened a couple of times to me and will come back on when I stop and restart the car.

Flicking VDC switch doesn't turn it back on while driving.

On the way home tonight it happened again this time showing me the handbrake light aswell, the handbrake was not down, after about 20 min the handbrake light went but VDC remained off, I could tell by the way the car handled and the old yellow 'slip light' never came on. But after I stopped at the servo, VDC came back on and the old slip light was back.

I would really like to know whats going on but don't know who to ask, I have a hunch that it something to do with some kind of sensor problem.
