Spanner indicator lights up when braking downhill

Hi guys, recently my Ford fiesta st 182 mk6 from 2013 with 128k km, have a spanner indicator ligth up when i'm breaking downhill. It disappear when i turn off and on the car and reappear on the next dowhill. I would like to know if you already have this type of problem on your fiesta st ? 

My oil level is fine and the oil change was done 14k km ago, my coolant level is a bit higher than the maximum but it was higher than the maximum for 1200km before the spanner light start to turn on.

I have a camshaft sensor to change, and i know that this spanner light happen more often since my camshaft sensor is'nt working but i'm not sure if it is related.

 

If anyone has an idea about what to check on this ?

    Can only suggest you read the codes to try and get a clue what's upsetting the ECU

    Hi yup as you suggested I read the code and what i obtain is a DTC error P0017 meaning my exhaust camshaft is not syncronize with my crankshaft.

    I changed the camshaft sensor position because I also had the dtc error P000B and also the VVT soleinoid ( not sure how you call it in english sorry) the piece in the image below. Since my last message the error is coming back almost every time even after these two change. 

    I have also done an oil change.
