Default Flashing Brake light and beep ONLY? any ideas?

Left the gfs house the other afternoon, and was pulling away and the brake light came on and blinked prolly 4 or 5 times.. with a beep.. then stopped.. i drove a very short distance and went to dinner, left and headed back to her house and it happened one other time.. didnt seem to happen if i was hard on the brakes or anything like that, just randomly.. then i drove home later that night, and nothing happened on the 10 mile drive home.. i searched this and someone actually asked the same question in 2008 hahah but no one answered him.. hope i can get some insight.. thanks guys

it could be a bad bulb or your pad wear sensor may be screwy. you should get that ST chip cuz samleong has a groupbuy open. onepoint8tee has both and he did a comparison in his ST chip review thread, go check it out and maybe save some money lol

I am having the same issue, its been happening a lot. Im going to have it serviced. My buddy thinks it may be either the pads wear or brake fluid low, or sensor is bad. The difference is i have an 06, im sure its the same issue. once i get the car in the shop ill let ya know. Prob not for another week tho.
