It sounds like one or both of of your rear brakes is dragging or partially seized up.this would cause the ABS light to register.To fix the problem it will require you to service the brakes by freeing up the parking brake and getting everything moving again.Use a lubricant for brakes.Check the rear brake lining as they may be worn from being partially on.Make sure the caliper assembly is also moving freely and doesn't need replacing.This is of course if you are handy with a set of tools.If you haven.t done this kind of work before take it in and have it looked at.Brake work is either 100% correct or dangerously wrong.Good Luck

SOURCE: Toyota Vitz 2003: (ABS and HandBrake warning light constantly on)

this is a common first sign of your antilock brake computer failing. You will most likely never feel a difference in your car but there is a slight chance all your safety features will not operate properly in a collision.

What does a symbol of a car with a lock on it mean on the dashboard
Use the Comment menu to add information to your question, please.

A possible dashboard symbol:

https://www.directline.com/car-cover/understanding-car-dashboard-warning-lights

"Brake system light. The first thing to do if you see this symbol glowing on the dashboard is check the handbrake hasn't been left on. ... That could relate to the worn condition of the brake pads or discs, a lack of fluid in the system or a problem with the anti-lock brakes (ABS) or stability control (ESP)."

Make, model and year of automobile.

Color of dashboard symbol or icon, and is it flashing?

Abs warning light
Handbrake light on also indicate brake fluid level maybe low. Check and top-up. If ABS light still comes on, get your car scanned for ABS error code.

Need some advise, no problem starting the car CLK (02) but the dashboard warning lights ie handbrake, engine, abs etc won't switch itself off. The next day start the car again and it's gone!...
All those warnings are controlled by the computer, so it might be a computer glich. But most likely it was hot in the car and maybe even humid in it that caused an electrical component not to work. Then when you started it up the next day it was cooler or less humid. Which is an indication that something is getting weak (electrically).

That sounds like it could be the handbrake warning light.Check the switch under the handbrake lever,if not brocken.Also could be the brake fluid level sensor,telling you the brake fliud in the bottle is low.good luck

Abs and handbrake icons light at the same time
If the E-brake light is in fact the light that is on. Then you need to find the switch that is attached to the lever. That switch isn't opening when you release the brake lever. Grounding that wire turns the light on. So either the wire is grounded or the switch is broken or out of adjustment.

ABS light alsways on ( is there a way to turn of the ABS indicator light?) please help
The only to get rid of an ABS light is to fix the problem. I would get it scaned and see what it would cost for parts. As long as you don't have a red brake warning light then your base brakes are working. If you have both lights then get it fixed soon, before you have an accident. Good Luck
