Default Hand brake light on?

So after a brake bleeding my e-brake light is on and the hand brake is most definitely off. The light was not on before I bled the brakes.

I stopped by my local honda dealership and they told me either low brake fluid(not it, as the master cylinder is Full) or almost worn out pads could cause it. My pads do look really low...

I'll swap out my pads tomorrow, but in the meantime does this ring a bell for anyone? Can worn out pads cause the light to go off?

Might have a short in the fluid level sender...normally it is something to do with low fluid. Check the connector.

I've seen a bad reservoir float on one S2000. If the float isn't floating, try freeing it up. If that doesn't work, it's bad and the master cylinder assembly will need to be replaced.
