All my Dashlight are on for some reason.

All my Dashlight are on for some reason.
I currently have aftermarket brakes and they have been fine for almost a year now. I drove it last in december then left it there until now. I finally got back in my car today and some reason all my VDC and brake lights are on. I drove my car and it seem to be fine. I was thinking of just resetting my battery but then I didnt want to do that and something was wrong with my car. Anyone know what it might be? My brakes did have alot of rust on the rotor for sitting there for a month.
The lights that are on are VDC OFF, BRAKES, SLIP, and TPMS(I never had tpms so I didnt worry about that)

Yeah I press the button but yeah I just check the fluid. It is below minimum. How should I go about fixing this, Should I just pour more fluid in? Will that require a rebleed if I pour more fluid in? I would have to order more brake fluid cause I have Motul RBF600 and don't want to be mixing brake fluid.
I wonder how it got so low. I wonder if the brakes have always been leaking or the cold weather made it leak. Its been 30 degrees or so here.

look like brake fluid? look sorta like oil since its directly under but when I check my drain bolt I didnt see any leak. It seems to be oil coming off my underpanel though but it looks like it was already there from when I poured oil on my underpanel by accident

My armada has the lights on since 5 months now and the issue is that the sensors for the brake pads are worn out or needs to be re-adjust the sensors. I'm too lazy to do it for the armada or to pay $500 for the dealer to check it out so I'm just leaving it as is. The car runs just normal.

That def looks like motor oil. Brake fluid isnt that dark, especially after only being a year old. Those lights on the dash is usually an indication of something to do with the ABS. Its possible that from sitting and all the rain and cold damp weather we have had that maybe some moisture has worked its way into one of the sensors causing the lights to come on.

I have that same problem too. Took mine to the dealer a couple months back, and they just said when you accelerate quickly the floating sensor for the brake fluid thinks it's close to empty so they said to fill it up. Haven't gotten around to it yet though since they told me it was no big deal..?
