yes it would turn on if your low on brake fluidComment

If you have little brake fluid, the pedal has to be depressed more to push the needed amount of fluid through the lines and thus move the caliper.

The light turns on if:
-parking brake is on
-low brake fluid
-catastrophic failure of the brake system
Brake fluid doesn't just get "low" on its own. You have a leak somewhere. It needs to be fixed or your brakes may fail completely without warning at the worst possible time. Don't mess around with this one by putting it off.\'00 f-bird 3.8 M5 coupe, pewter metallic<br />Torsen LSD, Pro 5.0 shifter, Spec stage 1 clutch, Y87 muffler, aftermarket stereo<br />-more fun than the Oldsmobile it replaced...Comment

Brake fluid will boil first. Could he have enough water [=bad] in the brake system that the level goes down that much when he got it hot?
Either way, any smart person would get under the car, check all the lines for leaks, and bleed the system totally. The performance of the brake fluid is compromised once you start boiling it.\'00 f-bird 3.8 M5 coupe, pewter metallic<br />Torsen LSD, Pro 5.0 shifter, Spec stage 1 clutch, Y87 muffler, aftermarket stereo<br />-more fun than the Oldsmobile it replaced...Comment

If he was standing on the brake doin' donuts, he might have popped a line too. If you boil the brake fluid, would you have to completely bleed it all out and start with fresh fluid?Comment
