Anyone ran into this problem before?

I know it can be caused by low brake fluid, but I've checked that and its full, just dirty.

Guess it may be a sensor or possibly the fact that it needs new brake fluid. Appt at dealer next Tuesday if I can't figure it out before then.

yes these lights will show up for various errors.

if you dont have one already, i suggest you get an obd scanner tool/app.

i personally use Torque. get a bluetooth dongle from amazon for 10 bux and pull/reset codes yourself.

at the very least you can pull the codes, search the net and be educated on what it could more likely be and be better armed when going to the dealer.

may be able to fix the issue yourself!

Yeah, do need a scanner, I've been used to older cars where it wasn't needed.

thats the beauty of the obd-ii on the nissan/infiniti (And other brands)

im sure the code you pull will be easily found on the internet and it could be something you can handle yourself.

you can also hit up autozone and they can pull them for you for free i believe.

The lights had went off after I added a little brake fluid.

Dealership checked and cleared the codes for free. They were for Brake Booster and ABS control module. Hope they were just because the fluid got a little low and hope to not see them again.

yeah sounds like just low fluid. but fluid does not vanish so may be a leak.... watch for puddles and spongy pedal...

and get a 15 dollar bluetooth obd reader and the torque app so you can read these codes yourself! thats an order misterrrr!!!! :p
