The brake pads may have wear sensors on them. When the brake pads get down the sensors short out and the brake warning light comes.
Take a front wheel off and see if there are wires going to the calipers. Also have a look at the pad wear. If it as I have described you will need to replace your brake pads.

Alfa control indicates it is low brake fluid .Have closed brake pad circuit some time ago so those annoying red lights don't come on when theres quite alot of wear left.
Will do some more investigating this w/e. Not sure how break fluid sensor works Interesting that it goes off when brake pedal pushed .Obviously harder to play with brake fluid sensor.
Bloody alfa control. Nice to look at and obsess over correct functioning when car is near perfect in most aspects.
Rather tune carburettors,but once there right there right .
Retarded ignition 3 other day for ron 95 , not bad little tweak as per guide on this site
Hows that fuel injected rocket of yours, comfortable seats i hope
Regards
