The fault is "driving with the hand brake on" but he is not. Allready checked the handbrake switch witch is fine, the brakes are completely "off" (when the handbrake is down i can spin the wheels perfectly). I even short-wired the switch to be sure.
Ckecked the brake pads today, all fine.
Anyone? getting desperad :)

bulb sensors are in tail lights. look from inside the trunk, unsrew white plastic bulb holder, pull it off tailight and when you are looking on bulbs betwen them you will find small box. sensors are inside. they looks like coils made of copper wire with glass think inside. check soldering points as sensor itself should be fine. On one side you will find smaller box and only one sensor inside, on the other side there will be at last two of them. Don't know which is left/right as this may be different betwen jdm ukdm edm cars

I fixed my problem. I tested my taillightsensors and they were fine.
Measured every wire out, all fine. Switched the ICU (Internal control unit) and the problem is solved.
