its possible that your brake fluid is just low. if that is the case you probably need new brake pads also. is the abs light on?

Did you check your brake fluid yet? If the car is still driving normally its probably just that. There is a sensor in the reservoir that will light up all three lights if it is to low

like what tyler said. try disconnecting the battery. this usually eliminates stubborn lights
