Open the hood and check your brake fluid reservoir. The light may be an indication your brake fluid is low.

As the others said, the only two faults that cause the BRAKE light to illuminate without the Three Amigos are a low brake fluid level and the parking brake being not fully released. It's in the Owner's Handbook and in the RAVE. It has nothing to do with the ABS system.

...sheepishly I admit it was the simplest of simple things... low fluid. I feel so dumb. I literally rebuilt the calipers and bled the entire system late last night, and then in the euphoria of finishing up, forgot to top off the fluid. It only needed about a 1/2 inch to extinguish the light. Meh. Idiot.

@Brandon318 I think we have all done something similar at some point.
