Indicator/warning light question.

Indicator/warning light question.
2007 MCS. What I see is a red car on a lift in the tach display, and the "brake" warning lamp lit up on the tach warning lights. In my manual it says that combo means "vehicle electronics failed, you cannot continue your journey", but the car runs fine. I called a mechanic at Eurotech in Tempe. He said the car up on a lift means it needs servicing/inspection, and the "brake" lit up means its low on brake fluid. They both lit up the same time. What say you? I should add that my front brakes estimator of needing replacement in the service section says time is up for that, so I figured these warnings are all about that. The manual disagrees.

That's correct.
It could be that, or there's a failure in the brake system itself... or the e-brake switch on the lever is failing.
Either way, you'll want it looked at, making sure the pads haven't worn passed their minimum, and making sure fluid is up to level.
Remember, brake fluid is to be flushed out every 2 years.
