Why is my E-Brake & DSC light stays ON

Hi all,

Does anybody know Why is my E-Brake & DSC light stays ON?

I had replaced the rear driver side wheel hub a few days ago, after that once I started up the car. The ebrake light stays on even I released the ebrake handle. The actual ebrakes have disengaged when I release the handle but light remains on. So as the DSC light stayed on.

At first, I thought its the ABS sensor issue because I replaced the hub. So I ordered a new one after I replaced it. Both lights still on. I have no clue what's going on with it.
I also adjust the ebrake handle level (the screw when under the handle)

Hope someone here can help.

The car runs fine, just the ebrake & DSC lights on bother me.

have you checked the brake fluid level in the master cylinder?

I checked the brake fluid level. It's low. I guess that the major reason. The light went off after I filled it back up to the max level.

Reason fluid was low is probably due to brake pads being worn.....the light is the signal to check your brakes.
