Chevrolet Impala Abs Problem

Had the LOW BRAKE FLUID message come up in the message center. TRAC OFF light and BRAKE light also came on. Never lost brake function. The fluid was not low in the resevoir tank. Had the sensor replaced to see if that corrected the issue and it did not. Car is functioning well otherwise. There are no leaks in the lines or calipers. The fluid level has not changed. Brake pads are not low either. Have read info that it could be a BCM or ignition switch. LIghts have remained on. Have also tried disconnecting the batt cables for a few minutes and that did not reset anything. Any ideas? Thanks!

The resevoir was never low on fluid. Plus, the ABS light never came on. Only the red park brake light, TRAC OFF and LOW BRAKE FLUID in the message center. The fluid level remains at the max line. Could it be something else? Thanks
