Maybe abs is acting funny. In most late model cars the light comes on with low fluid or if the abs is disabled for whatever reason like bad sensor or something else along those lines.

check your brake fluid and brake pad. worn out brake pad will cause the fluid to go low

It's the brake pads. Mine came on a week or so ago. Bought some hawk pads from CVRMotorsports and no more problems.
