Break pad warning or low fluid.

If its the rears I'd say low fluid. Weird it coming on after fitting new pads though.

Sorry if asking silly question, but you sure the sensor was plugged back in correctly when changing pads???
Only cause I had that problem, but for me it was because cable had snapped!!!
