2004 Nissan Maxima - ABS, SLIP, VDC OFF and BRAKE lights are on.?

I bought this car about a year ago 2004 Maxima SL. It only has 34000 Miles on it, About a month ago it started showing all of this lights, it use to happen only once in a while but now its everytime. The ABS, SLIP, VDC OFF and BRAKE lights come on when I start driving. The lights do not come on right away but rather when I start driving the car, First the SLIP light comes on and the transmission starts to slip but after all four lights come on, I can drive just fine without have to worry about transmission slipping... Now all of this started happening after I changed my Brake Pads and Balanced and Rotated the tires at a local Auto Shop. Can Anyone tell me what is wrong with the car or how can I reset all the warning lights? I would appreciate all the inputs...2004 Nissan Maxima - ABS, SLIP, VDC OFF and BRAKE lights are on.?
Problem happens right after brake service and tire rotate/balance?

The problem may be at wheel speed sensor(s). You really need to have a tech reading trouble code first then go from there.

Many shops will be able to read and reset engine, transmission, ABS trouble code with their scan tool.2004 Nissan Maxima - ABS, SLIP, VDC OFF and BRAKE lights are on.?
All of the above are Anti lock brake related items. You know acronyms SLIP= Traction Control VDC= Vehicle Dynamic Control AND ABS = antilock brakes. Now did any thing change a month ago when you maby put on two different size tires rims? Brake Systems problems need to be checked at the Nissan Dealer because the information is only available there to diagnosis and correctly repair the car. Just might be one bad wheel speed sensor. Or rodents chewing on the car's wiring. Get it looked at soon! good luck2004 Nissan Maxima - ABS, SLIP, VDC OFF and BRAKE lights are on.?
I recommend letting the Nissan dealer hook up the Consult scan tool.Could need reprogramming or there may be a real problem with a sensor or part...don't take chances with brakes.Good luck
