Default e-brake problem

hey what's up everybody, i'm experiencing a little problem
first when I took sharp left corners my e-brake light would come on
and then go off after a few seconds, so after a couple of weeks now it
comes on in the morning if i turn hard at all either way, and if the e-brake light
is on for more than 10sec it triggers the abs light.
I checked my fluid and it's fine, im thinking it's either a oil level indicator
or some kind of sensor in my brake modulator, or some release spring in the caliper of cable or something.
CAN ANYBODY GIVE ME ANY ADVICE????

well when you make sharp turns does the handle come up at all? cause even if you raise it a bit the ebrake light will come on.. i've seen it flashing while sloloming at the auto-x..

No, as a matter of fact i've even held the e-brake down as i take the turn and it still comes on i think there might be a switch for the e-brake handle
mabye this is it perhaps.

your switch inside your center console is probably loose.. and when u turn hard it turns on...


OR


just throwing this out.. when u start ur car and the engine is cold.. the ebrake turns on while the car warms up ( at least mine does )
and sometimes it wont go away for a while until the car has heated up.. just a thought

that's a sign your fluid is a little low. I swear brake fluid and the system sucks. My fluid looked perfectly full, but the light was on. I topped it off with just a little more fluid and the light went out. It's such a small unit that a small amount of fluid make a difference
