Default Check brake system

Has anyone has this come up on there screens as well? I have an 06 gt, is it the brake pads, or could it be something else?

Does it say "check break" or are the TCS and ABS lights on? The latter happened to me after I ran on a dyno.. I just had to chirp the tires and they turned off.

BRAKE Warning Indicator
The brake warning indicator alerts the driver if any of the following brake system conditions are present: the parking brake is set, the brake fluid level is low, the ABS module detects a base brake system failure, there is a loss of communication between the instrument cluster and the SJB, or there is a loss of communication between the instrument cluster and the ABS module.
Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Indicator
The ABS warning indicator informs the driver of a malfunction in the ABS system. Inputs are provided by the ABS module over the communication network.

I'm getting the 'brake fluid level low' message sometimes lately, only in hot weather and always within 1 minute of starting the motor. Thing is, fluid level is fine, I even topped it off. I know what you're thinking--low brake pads, right? Thing is, they're not--but I bought new Hawks anyway and will be putting them on soon. Unless the tolerance for pads is abnormally conservative, if this doesn't fix it it's going to be a tough one to bring to the dealer since I can't replicate it on demand.

(FYI, when the Low Brake Fluid Level message appears, the TCS is disabled as indicated by the dash lights.)
