The VSA indicator comes on when a vsa function is lost, which means a dtc is set! The brake system indicator comes on when an EBD function is lost, the parking brake is applied, or the brake fluid level is low. I would take it to the dealer and have them pull the VSA dtc and this should lead them to your problem, trying to take a guess at it is like taking a shot in the dark!

it could be a bad VSA switch, make sure your brake lights work because them not working is bad and a symtom of a bad switch.

Sounds like the brake fluid level switch went bad!
