sonata brake dust make light come on?

I have a
2003 HYUNDAI SONATA
6 Cylinders 02656 2.7L MFI DOHC

Reciently I replaced the front disc pads.With the inexpensive metal pads. No rotor was replaced.

anyway, the caliper must have been dragging, and sent some of the dust airborn, and and I see some small metal filings sticking to the rubber boot that protects the anti lock brake sensor.
I am now replacing the rotors and pads. but a few days after this problem started, the yellow engine light came on.
Im wondering , I dont think that a brake issue would cause this light to come on. Wouldnt it be a different light for the brakes, if the metal filings were to interupt the sensor?
Thanks for your time.

I don't think the two are related re: the engine light and the brake system. These are seperate lights indicating issues with separate systems.

Can't comment on it, so I'll second that: It's just a coincidence.

Thanks for the responses. They are greatly appreciated.I am certain they are two different issues. The brakes are all fixed. and they code is an EVAP emission trouble. even a loose gas cap can be the trouble. so it will take some more time to narrow that down.
Again thanks.
