"If I had a nickel..." is the beginning of a popular phrase, "If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, I'd be a millionaire." It was appropriate in this case because not only would searching for the terms in your OP subject have found results, but simply scrolling down the front page of this forum section would have provided your answer. There were two threads about this same issue on the front page very recently, and one of them is still there.

get your car scanned for any codes at autozone or some auto place near by.
dont let it slide honestly mine car was doing the same thing and it ended up being my crankshaft sensor
most of the time it'll be something simple like low break fluid or your pads are worn out. if not it can be your camshaft sensors or crank like mine.

I know the saying Dustin I should've checked to see if anyone had something on this. I just installed my brakes, rotors and springs, so I was worried maybe I screwed something up.

XOXO..The brake light also went off. I checked my brake fluid and sure enough, it was low. Hopefully that was it

As a further FYI, something similar (on the console anyway) happens when the rotation rate of one of the wheels is significantly different from the others - not sure if it is only the front wheels.

Last Saturday, I had a flat tire (front left) due to a nail and put the temporary spare on. It only had 35 psi in it rather than the 60 it should (I have not been checking the spare as often as I should!).

So, after moving a bit, both the VDC and SLIP errors would show on the center console. Would reset on power off - did it a number of times since I was out running errands and stopped in multiple places.. When I reached home, I used my electric tire pump to get it to 60 psi and then all was well from that point on.

Tuesday, my new tires were in and all is well ... for a different reason!

FWIW, my Michelin Pilot Super Sport 245/45-18 tires lasted 29k miles (rated at 30k) - longer than the older Pilot Sport A/S, so the cost per mile was better for a way better tire! Even if I say that the actual tread use was probably closer to 27k to 28k (see below).

OTOH, I had been meaning to replace the tires soon anyway, since I was down to 2/32 (I usually change at 3/32 or 4/32 - and was being lazy). Luckily, the deflation did not occur at high speeds - turned out that the inner edge of that tire was worn down to metal belt showing. In retrospect, I am glad that the nail hit when it did!

Yea I noticed it wasn't a big deal here too. I was just concerned because I had just gotten the brakes, rotors and springs done.
