Cos they tested the braking force in fron tbrakes, so the rear were stationary, the front were moving... did they dissappear after driving and they turning ignition off? same as when they are rolling roaded...

Ignore me , think i may have got wrong end of stick... teach me to skim read lol

some times they do come on when mot due to the rolling road--they should go of when you drive down the road

If these lights are on after you have drove it home there is a fault in the system
Might be the dredded pressure sender fault

You will need to get the codes read if the lights are still on.
