Default Brake Light Comes On...

During hard acceleration, the brake light comes on. But, it only lasts a few seconds, then goes right back off. It doesnt come on during normal easy driving. The brakes feel fine, havent noticed any problems. Should i be concerned? Why would it be doing this?

Check the fluid in the reservoir. It's probably a lil low.

if fluid is low....check for any external leaks, if none , check for low brake pads or rear shoes low.

well i just changed rotors and pads about 2 or 3 months ago before it got too cold, and bled the brakes and everything, so i wouldnt think it would be low already. but thanks. i guess the most obvious things dont jump out at you sometimes.
