Could be a lot of things. When my light came on, the brakes worked normal, but the fluid level was low. I checked the master cylinder, front calipers and rear wheel cylinders for leaks. I finally found a line rusted beside the fuel tank that would leak when hard pedal was applied. The light could also be caused by a momentary fault in the RABS system if it goes out and does not come back. In basic terms, the light means check your brake system to find the problem.

I would check for low fluid, stuck master cylinder float, bad connections at the RABS valve and the speed sensor, parking brake problems and for misadjucted rear brakes, worn out rears may also cause some problems.
