dash lights that stay on when there is no problem in said system

What is your question?

Two of my dash lights stay on all the time now. One is the brake light (there is no problem with my brakes - have had them checked.) This light came on a few years ago and never goes out. Lately, the tire pressure light has begun to flicker then stay on as well, even though, when I check the tires, they are all up to pressure.

You may have a bad tire sensor or two. A tire shop can check that out for you. The brake light could be a wiring issue so a hands-on electrical inspection is needed. If you don't normally work on cars, use this link to find a good shop near you. https://repairpal.com/repair-shops Alex

Malfunctioning 'park brake' on/off switch is likely culprit for constant brake light .. TPMS can be recalibrated using button under dash. Look in the owners manual !

One more thing > LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL will illuminate the red brake light. It doesn’t have to be visibly low - try adding just a bit of brake fluid to master cylinder.
