Is the ABS light on or the BRAKE light?

ABS would mean you may have annoyed one of the ABS sensors.

As for the brake light, I would double check the fluid level &/or the sensor in the reservoir for the fluid level.

Double check that the parking brake lever is all the way down.

Also make sure the float in the reservoir didn't get stuck. I've had that happen on other cars before.

Usually a tap on the side will unstick it.
