Default brake fluid light

when ever i accelerate hard or turn hard my low brake fluid light comes on and my traction control turns off. I like the fact that the traction control shuts off but im sure it cant be good.

stupid question,
have you checked the fluid level?
if you have recently then make sure the cap is on it right and not cross threaded or off.

have you noticed any diffrence in the pedal?

yup sounds like your fluid level is getting low. Before ya fill it up make sure ya check the condition of your pads. low fluid level is a good sign they are getting worn down and if they are good then I would be looking for a leak. Brake fluid just doesn't run low without a reason.
