1995 Sedan 125k. 3.0 6 cyl; brake warning light comes on for about :03 during acceleration after braking (at an intersection, for example), then goes off. Fluid level is fine, no indication of leakage. Is this simply an indicator of worn pads, or something different (parking brake not engaged)?
Thanks!

Could be just the pressure differential valve (a safety switch that turns on the brake warning lamp if there is a loss of pressure in either brake circuit-but no leak-no worrys its like that CEL that scares people.

Hows the Brakes after the lite-doing okay or what.
