Default 3 System Tones (beeps) and 3 Brake Light Flashes?

So for about 2 weeks now my A4 has been doin something strange. It randomly makes 3 beeps from the information display (the tone you here when you are low on gas or washer fluid) and at the same time the Brake light (on the speedometer dial) also flashes 3 times. It does this probably a few times a week but only if I have been driving for say 30 minutes or more. Im not quite sure what this is, does anyone have a clue. The owners manual has a similar reference for low brake fluid, but that involves the brake light coming on and staying on, also I checked my brake fluid level and its fine. Help!!!

more than likly your abs controll module went out and it needs to be rebuilt. various places on the internet will rebuild it for around 150 bucks. Mine did the same thing.

Yeah after doin some research thats what I concluded. Did you have your car's codes analyzed before you did the module rebuild. Also, did you remove the module yourself or did you take it to a mechanic.
