Brake light on during hard acceleration?

Hey guys i have a 08' g35x and today i was getting on the interstate and i floored it and while i was under hard acceleration the brake light came on and after i released the accelerator the light went off. Was my car freaking out because i have not driven it like that or do i need to get it checked out?


P.S. i did search forums on this and came up with nothing

checking your brake fluid should be your first step in diagnosing the problem

def top off your brake fluid, as your brake pads wear down, the fluid level drops a bit. upon hard acceleration, the fluid shifted in the reservoir and just tripped the "low fluid" indicator. Nothing to be alarmed about

If the fluid level is that low you might want to check the thicknss of your brake pads too.
