Try topping up the brake fluid level. Under braking, it can slosh up to the front and the light will come on for a while.

low pad level creating excessive piston distance under hard breaking?

There is "above the add mark" and "right up to the top of the fill mark". Tracking my car with the fluid below that top line got me some brake warning lights.
