30,000 miles. The brake light just started coming on. My brakes appear to be functioning fine. What could this indicate? Is it a warning to get new pads? Thanks John

Brake light on the dash is for brake fluid low or for the emergency parking brake.Inspect the brake fluid .If it is low and you are still in warranty bring it to the dealer for further diagnosis. Sometimes the rear wheel cylinders will leak and causing fluid to go low. Front brake pad wear will also cause fluid level to drop. If the emergensy brake switch shorts out this will also cause the light to malfunction.
