Checked the handbrake switch and it works fine, and the brake fluid is at the max. I have also unplugged the brake fluid reservoir sensor, also still the light is on.

That is not the parking brake warning light which will be red. This light indicates there is a wear issue either with the front or rear brake pads. I would remove the wheel and do an inspection, here is how:

We should run the codes as well; you can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

here is a video to show you how:

Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.

Thank you so much. I found that the front right side wheel sensor wire was unplugged, but I couldn't find the rest of the wire. The sensor wire was just tucked inside the wheel carpet liner. Can you help me find the rest of the wire please?

Do the other wheel speed sensors have wires? If so the wires to the ABS module should be there. Try looking under the fender liner.
