Take it in and have the code pulled... I would say that you can reset the ecu and forget about it, but it is always better to check an know the problem.

also, please let us know what they say.

It's possible if your a very aggressive driver or you've taken it to a track to race, a road course will eat up brakes fast.

If not then your CPU probably had a brain fart, a reset should fix the problem.

LOL!!!!!!

This would never cause a check engine light to come on. Only your parking brake light would come on, to let you know your fluid is low, but also usually your pads are low.

I had the same thing happen to me after I stalled the car one time at a stop light. All the lights came on as you described and the car did not operate at full power untill I stoped at a safe location and restarted the car. My service engine light stayed on for a few weeks/less than 100 miles (I dont drive it but once a week or so) and then it went away and I have had no porblems since. You should be ok.

BTW: I have a 05 enthuiast with ~9000 miles at the time when this happened

I had this problem as well on my '06 -- I had originally thought I had a fuel lock because the weather was so hot... but the stored code said TPS (Thottle Position Sensor) error. I seem to remember the error code was P0122
