Default Brake light at fast turns

prob a noob question

but whenever im going really fast and take a turn going relatively fast without braking like i should... the "Brake" light comes up in the cluster under the gauge for the engine temperature

its a red light, and i'm wondering if thats normal... i think it might be the light to show your emergency brake is on??? i'm not too sure

Check your brake fluid level.

Are you sure its not your oil light. because somtimes if you take a sharp turn your oil light comes on because it all goes to one side.

Careful with those fast turns on the SC if you are on stock suspension. Anyway sounds like the brake fluid like others mentioned.

^ adding onto that, especially if you have stock rims/tires, watch out for fishtailing (good thing for tc) I'm starting to wonder myself why they didn't come with a beefier package from the factory...
