Brake Warning Light Issue - 2000 Solara SLE

My brake warning light on the instrument cluster comes on intermittently. Brakes appear to be operating normally. Any ideas as to what is causing this?

keep in mind too guys that your brake pads may need changing soon. if your brake pads are gettin' thin, your brake fluid naturally is going to dip below the reservoir's sensor (giving you that intermittent flashing of the "BRAKE" light). just pouring more brake fluid is a temporary fix.

start lookin' for pads soon so you know where to get them when you need it.
