Exclamation Parking brake require calibration

I changed my brakes and rotor at a reputable shop here in the bay, they specialize on track cars and such.
after changing everything 1 week later i tracked my car at Thunderhill West ( 2-3mile track) everything was great, the race brakes i put on are amazing, they bite and low brake dust than OEM !

So today 1 day after track day I was parking my car and this -refer to screenshot- came up. What does this mean? What could be the cause of this?
I went on google and found the solution to calibrating the brakes, I did the press on foot brake 5 times and pull electronic brake. it went away. Then I drove somewhere and it came up again. Had to repeat the same process and went away. Hopefully it doesn't come up again. If it does, should this warrant a dealer visit? Car is out of warrenty

Anyone had experience with this? What could be the cause?

In an earlier thread you said you bought new Brembo discs/rotors and Porterfield R4-S pads.
Did you use those pads for this track day or some other pads eg R4?
Just curious to know that if you used R4-S how well they went on a track day as a few here have said that R4-S are no good on the track.

Check the obvious first; shine a light in on the brake pads and ensure they still have plenty of pad thickness. Yes, I know they're new... do it anyway to rule out something goofy going on.

I know of folks who have worn out NEW sets of pads in ONE DAY of track time...

If the pads are OK, I'd look up putting the parking brakes in and out of Maintenance Mode.
(Even the BEST shops forget to read the directions. The technician was probably male!)
