Hi, there's probably 2 answers for that. 1- Low fluid level in your brake master cylinder. If the answer is yes, Check the pads for excessive worn or... adjust the level. The dual pistons front calipers can take a large amount of brake fluid even if your pads have 50% left. 2- Electrical problem; in this case, disconnect the connectors on the master cylinder (level sensor) and the hand brake. If the light is still "on", you'll have to find a "short to ground harness". Wish you luck. Hope it's the first one.

Why does emergency brake light on dash stay on when emergency brake is off?

It could be something as simple as a faulty or out of adjustment emergency brake switch. If that's not it, it could be the ABS. Often when the ABS fails the computer will turn on the emergency brake light.
