either your brake fluid is low, or your front pads are getting low.

nah i didnt pull handbake at all, actually guys my brake fluid is on the minimum level!!! and ive noticed my the brakes are a little squeaky lately too not sure if its the front or back though!!
but would the brake fluid cause the handbrake light to come on round sharp fast corners??
