Parking brake failure??

[STSCH]

Check parking brake warning on dashboard in yellow appears after a few yards . Sometimes becomes a red warning,STOP. Brakes feel normal. Handbrake operates although flash's red. Seems to clear if I leave the car overnight,then reappears . Any knowledge out there of this fault?

Do you have a way to read fault codes?

No, but going into Martin's on Monday. Seemed to cure it by charging the battery on a charger. But fault appeared after a 200 mile drive so should have had a charged battery unless the alternator is failing....
