Default Parking Brake Malfunction - mounted a kerb

Hi guys, need some help or guidance!

I accidentally mounted a kerb while manouvering into a tight space yesterday - front nearside wheel up a kerb (in D) at very low speed, and got a parking brake malfunction warning almost immediately.

Since then it's come on and off intermittently when starting the car - when it's on and I try and engage the parking brake, the (P) indicator flashes and then engages in full. Sometimes the fault doesn't come on and the parking brake fully works as normal.

Obviously not a huge issue but a bit of an annoyance.

Can anyone help with what I could do? I assume that I moved (fractionally) the ABS sensor or upset a caliper sensor or something, that just needs clearing. Unfortunately I don't have VCDS at home but can get to one over the next week.

Alternatively I know there's a sequence to clear the parking brake fault (I saw Marcin use it when unplugging and plugging back in the parking brake switch) but I don't know what it is.

Cheers in advance.
