Default Please Help: Flashing E-Brake Warning Problem

While enjoying some spirited driving last night i noticed that during a sustained turn at ~0.7 G's or greater my ebrake light in the gague cluster would blink (accompanied by a beep) approximately 5 times as i exited the turn. Has anyone experienced this? I guess my main question is whether this is an electrical issue i should check out or wether this is a real warning somehow realted to the high G situation. I highly doubt the second is tha case but then again ive been wrong before. Thanks for readin guys.

if the light isn't flashing now when normal driving the chances are it was the traction control system warning you that you were going too fast when cornering

simple...high g's pushes all the brake fluid to one side of the resivour and thus shows up low fluid on the dash with your brake warning lamp, also check your brake fluid, normally a good sign your alittle low when you expirance this

Same thing happened to me when I had a leaky rear brake caliper. When the fluid gets low, the light goes on.
