Hello,

This means there is an error in the system, like an ABS sensor got damaged or disconnected. To be sure lets run the codes to see what comes up. here is a video to show you how:

Is the e brake handle/pedal released? Can you pull it tight and then released again to see if it goes off? Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.
