the handbrake warning left after a week, but today it came back on

There is still much brake pad left, how many sensor indicate that the handbrake is on? I know the switch right behind the handbrake and that one is in good condition?

Confused?

Yeah, it's so weird, especially if the warning light and sound is on and it is a bit bumpy on the road the warning keep going on and of all the time and when i stop it just stops wiht the warning led blinking

It's like there is a bad conection.

I have bought The Lexus TechDoc cd and I'm looking on the parkbrake circuit, Here is a picture of what I'm going to measure.
