first thing to do is check the brake fluid. there is a low fluid sensor.
but it could also be a weak spring on the parking brake not pulling the pedal all the up.

All things are ok, fluid and parking brake just the light and the front brakes do most of the braking. like the valve for the abs may not be letting brake pressure get to back brakes much
