Default E-brake light turning on during braking.

I noticed lately that the e-brake light has been turning on during moderate braking. Moderate as in approaching an intersection and the lights turn yellow, you can safely floor it through but rather stop, pressing the brake a little harder than usual. Nothing close to any kind of tire screeching halt. At times, it also happens during light, normal braking as well. Turns on as soon as the brakes are pressed, but goes off when i let go of the brake pedal. This doesn't happen all the time, just random a few times a day. Does this happen to anyone else?

Check your brake fluid.

Got the same thing, added brake fluid and it was fixed. Does the Z somehow burn brake fluid? I never had to add brake fluid in my other cars before.

No, as your pads wear the pistons go further out therefore more fluid goes into the lines from the reservoir, so don't add too much if you might be changing pads soon as your fluid will overflow when you push the pistons back in to accomodate the new thicker pads.
