Parking Brake Light Stays On

I had a track session on Saturday. At the end of the day I noticed that the light was on. I don't think there is any damage, I was worreid a little at first but now I think it's just the fluid level as the F&R pads worn down now.

Just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem and resolved it themselves?

I think you're correct in figuring the fluid level is down. I've had the same, not with my Max, but with my wife's Toyota. Added fluid and the light went off.

yea, I worked on a 3rd gen yesterday and we bled his brake lines a little bit so he was low on fluid and the light went on. Filled it up, took it for a spin around the block, the light went off as we pulled back into the driveway

Yeah it was fluid, I topped it off and the light is off. I was checking it after each run, but I guess I forgot after the last run.
