Default Gs300 abs, vsc, handbrake lights

Hey guys,
so I recently bought a gs 300 and i have an issue with brakes. To make a long story short:
1) when I am trying to stop, by the time that speed is slow enough and I am about to stop, I can feel that brake pedal makes a strange noise and it starts to be softer. (When going faster its all good, only when first gear disconnects)
2) I had abs vsc vsc off lights on for some time and when I am cornenirg in bigger speed my front brakes are starting to stop the car with abs. (Need zero position calibracion or is it wss sensor?)
3) I have handbrake light on, and when i press the handbrake it gets brighter but when I release the brake it is still on but darker. What could be the issue? One of the braking drum is still kind of attached or smth?

*Brake fluid level is good, not much less than maximum.
Any ideas? Maybe somebody had the same issue?
I am thinking about changing all the brake pads, callipers and dot. But I am not sure about zero position sensor.
this is the info that diagnostics showed me.
thank you for help, in advance.

Others have had this issue in the past. The parking brake lights comes on when there is any kind of fault in the braking system, low fluid, ect. It will also be on if the VSC has a fault. If you're having problems cornering and stopping at slow speeds one of your wheel speed sensors is probably bad. There are several threads detailing this exact issue and those will tell you what you need to do to diagnose and fix it. Search this forum of google and you'll find what you're looking for
