Brake error light

The brake error light in my tach is illuminated in red and I can't figure out what it means. There's not a corresponding indicator that would mean brake pads or brake fluid plus both have been checked and are okay and engaging he parking brake brings up an additional indicator so it's not that. Any help?

Doesn't show up in the codes and can't be reset either. I'm thinking the rear brake pad sensor is toast as the pads look very good.

If a light is on, there should be a corresponding code for it. What did you use to read the codes?

Dash Command. I re-read them with Carly and it did show a rear brake pad error. I didn't expect that because I compared the two products when I first got the Carly app and it didn't show anything different than Dash Command but apparently there are some differences.
