Check your brake fluid.

The brake light comes on whenever there is a pressure difference between the 2 systems. Low fluid isn't really the culprit but leads to air in the system. Another cause is a fault in the sytem somewhere. Master cylinder or a leak.

Actually it looks like it was just low on fluid........Did a brake job a while back and may have not filled it up properly
