Help with dash issues...

Hey All, I am looking for some help on this issue I am having (maybe someone had it before and know what it means).

I have a Viper Alarm and Remote Start on my Maxima. Yesterday I started it and got in the car and deactivated the alarm and saw the picture below. So i turned off the car and restarted and it's still there.

Recently I noticed while driving the BRAKE light would be on for a couple of seconds at random times but it was not engaged.

Any idea on what is going on? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.


Thanks.

1. Buy Valvoline Syn Dot3/4 brake fluid at your favorite auto parts store.
2. Open hood
3. Locate brake fluid reservoir, it will have black cap and be toward the firewall on driver side, behind airbox.
4. Remove the cap from the reservoir
5. Pour fluid till the MAX line
6. Close cap
7. Done

And be sure to clean the black cap and the outside of the fluid reservoir before starting, and do not get even one grain of dirt into the reservior.

Also, once unsealed, brake fluid sometimes does not keep well. A new can/bottle of fluid is cheap (I pay $2), so I don't keep brake fluid on hand more than a few months. Nissan recommends a new can/bottle whenever we need to top off the reservoir.
