Brake idiot light comes on

[transient]

Well, the title pretty much says it... after I do a heel-toe downshift, I sometimes notice that the idiot light for the brakes comes on. It goes off shortly after... I'd say about 1-2 seconds after. Pedal pressure seems fine, and I haven't noticed any problems while braking. So is this something I should be worried about, or is it just a fluke?

how are your brake pads lookin'?

is there even a brake idiot light?? the only idiot light associated with brakes that i know of is the e-brake light... in which case maybe it's your e-brake switch??

It could also be your break fluid level.  I had a car that would throw that light on after hitting my brakes somewhat hard, or if I took a turn kinda hard.

The brake light refer's both to the e-brake and brake problems...

My pads are fine, I just had them checked not too long ago. I thought about low fluid, but it seems to be sporadic, which wouldn't be consistent. Like I said, it doesn't always do it... just every once in a while. I already tried jiggling the e-brake, and, though sensitive, it seems to be ok.  It's really got me stumped.
