Brake light and Service message
My girlfirend has an 02 S60 2.5t. Recently the brake light (not the parking brake light) came on and a message that the brake fluid was low. It originally would only do this when the nose of the car was lower than the tail, i.e. going down hill or a short stop. I know that the brakes are fine and the brake fluid is full. I read threads on other cars that this could be either a faulty fluid level snesor or a brake control module issue. I was wondering if anyone knows if this could be a similar problem. Any insight would be grand.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas to all.

RE: Brake light and Service message
update number two...
When I got home and checked it out the fluid was really low. So either there is a leak or I need new glasses. My girlfriend compained of clunking noises. After test driving, I think it was just the ABS. I have never had the ABS come on in the car so I am unfamiliar with the sounds and feel in the pedal. Compared to my Ford Ranger the sounds seem loud. The pedal does not feel all that irregular to me.
Though I am inclined to say that it was a low fluid problem, and possibly a leak I need to look for, I do have two questions. First, is the ABS in an 02 S60 on the loud side? Second, are the faulty sensor and brake control module issues of other Volvo models a concern on the S60?
Thank you in advance.
