Question E brake light?

I saw the other post about the abs light and it made me think about this. Recently I noticed my e brake light coming on when I make harder stops. It will come on during a medium-hard stop and go off as I ease off the brake. I haven't noticed any other issues besides the light. Just a short maybe...or any ideas?

brake fluid low? dunno if we have a sensor for that or not.

This comes up so often. Yes, there is a sensor in there. When you brake hard, the fluid is being thrown around and causing the sensor to read a low level.
