VDC off light staying on

Hi folks,
My problem is "VDC off" light stays lit when the engine is running.
Pushing the switch does nothing.
I did not touch that plug
The battery was disconnected while I did all the work.
Any clue what I should be looking for?
Thank you

Check your brakes, that's a common cause of the light being on...

so maybe you messed up something when you replaced the brakes? go back re-check everything.

Check your brake fluid level also. I have a leak in my front drivers side caliper somewhere and when it gets too low, those lights all turn on.

I replace my spark plug. So I unplug the connector from the throttle body and every other little connector WITHOUT unpluging the battery. Do you think it might be the problem? Do I need to make a reset of the ECU and do you think Ineed to re-do the throttle learning procedures again?
Let me know
Thanks!
