Yet Another Problem......"VDC OFF" "SLIP" Lights

gedunk · 09-16-2004, 08:27 PM

Barely 2 weeks into ownership and I've got yet another issue that cropped up today. I'm driving along at about 60mph and, for no apparent reason, the "VDC OFF" and "SLIP" lights came on and have stayed on no matter what I do. I did a search on the forums and couldn't find much on the subject and was wandering if this has been a common issue you guys have experienced. I'm scheduled to get my other stuff taken care of in the morning and I'll just add this to the list.

I also had this problem (my only problem, actually), and it occured within my first two weeks of ownership as well. I don't think anyone else has posted this as an issue so it isn't a common problem. In my case the "BRAKE" light also stayed on. A faulty front pressure sensor was the culprit, the part had to be backordered and it took a couple of weeks. How'd you make out at the stealer?

Problem solved. I've got another thread going about my alignment issues and on the 2nd attempt to fix my pull to the right, they managed to not center my steering wheel. (In other words, it was pointing to 11 o'clock) According to my service advisor, I must have turned the wheel during a sharp curve (which I had done) and with it being off center it made the computer think I had an oversteer and made the lights come on. He agreed that it should have reset itself but could not explain why it didn't. Nonetheless, they were able to reset it and it's stayed off so far. Let's hope that's all it is.
