Default E-brake light comes on when turning fast

This has been happening ever since I bought the car, but until now I've just decided to ride it out.

When I take a corner pretty fast, my e brake light tends to come on for a few seconds and go off when I'm back on the straight. I always double check to see my e brake isn't being pulled and its not.

anyone have a clue?

Most likely. They operate the same light.

i would check the fluid... More than likely since the fluid shifts to one side probably doesnt read that fluid is in it.. Top it off...

Check if your brake fluid is low. If it is low, topping it up will sort the issue. But low brake fluid is also a sign of very well worn brake pads.
