Default low brake fluid, brake light on and traction control wont turn on

I have a 2005 monte carlo lt and i started up my monte and my traction control was off, brake light was lit up, and low brake fluid was lit up too. I checked the brake fluid and the level is fine. Anyone know whats going on? It irratates me to see these warning on lol.

Any chance any rain / snow moisture got to your PCM and is causing it to glitch out, like did you spray under your hood with a pressure washer? Disconnect the battery for 10 minutes if you dont have a code reader and see if the codes return. Could just be an anomoly, fingers crossed........

Check the brake fluid sensor. I checked mine in my GTP and it literally fell apart in my hands. I just disconnected it for the time being so the light wouldn't be on. The sensor should be on the side of the reservoir, just pull it out and you got the sensor in your hand
