Cool Brake light beeps and flashes when turning.

My brake light in the dash flashes and beeps when turning right. It appears to be more sensative when the temparature is colder. My rotors and pads appear to be fine. I haven't checked the brake fluid, but I would assume the info screen would inform me that is low. Any thoughts or suggestions??

is it the light that says 'brake' or is it the one in the DIC which indicates brake wear...

if it is they light that glows red and says 'brake', then it it not the wear sensors. The wear sensors show up as the icon in the DIC. I believe it looks like circle with a squiggly line through it

I would start with checking the fluid. If it is getting low it could be triggering the sensor whenever you turn.

If i remember correctly, it should be 3 or 4 beeps, mainly when making a right turn... Happened on my car and one of my customers cars, low on brake fluid. Fill it up a bit.

It's the light that says "brake", not the DIC.

I have almost the same issue, mine happens just about a minute into driving. Nothing to do with turning. Goes away then comes back little later. I guess I will have to check my brake fluid, and see if that may be the issue. I was going to make an appointment to have it serviced, but Ill give the fluid a check first. If it is that, wonder why its low.
