Check the wheel bearings.
I think there is a bunch of air in the lines and needs a good power bleeding or you have a caliper piston hanging up or both. As far as the rear wheel it may be a completely different issue such as a dry wheel bearing. If it is get both replaced (rear) All of the above issue will and can cause all sorts of warning lights to come on. The wheel bearings send a magnetic signal to the wheel sensor or tone rings mounted on the cv shafts. E-brake cable if equipped may be corroded and either needs lubed up or a section of cable wiring replaced, perhaps a simple adjustment due to use. Hope this give you an idea of what it could be. Have a enjoyable weekend! Good Luck.
I once had a similar issue I went crazy trying to find. I turned out to be the rubber connective hose was deteriorated and not allowing the brake fluid to flow properly. A $10.00 hose solved my issue. E Brakes are another story. everybody looks at the disc brakes and neglects to check the drum brakes. I found a pile of rust inside my drums that used to be brakes. Good luck!
