Break light on in cluster

I noticed today that when I am accelerating my break light symbol turns on inside the car. It only does it when I accelerate hard then let go of gas.

Default Break light on in cluster

I noticed today that when I am accelerating my break light symbol turns on inside the car. It only does it when I accelerate hard then let go of gas. Has anybody experienced this? I am going to check break fluid to see if maybe it's low.

Almost definitely it will turn out to be low brake fluid.

Top off so it off to full line, and all should be good. Take note of level over next few weeks -- if dropping slowly but surely there may be a leak.

If not, your pads may be worn and about due for replacement.

The low level sensing circuit is VERY sensitive.
