Brake light comes on...

The brake indicator light comes on in my 4runner when it gets below freezing at night. I came out in the morning to go to work the last couple of days the light will stay on for a few miles and then shut off. Any ideas?

Id say check your brake fluid level. The sensors can be quite picky so a hair above full is good. Possibly with the cold the level may lower just enough until it gets warm and expands/move around.

make sure you check your fluid often, because you might need new brakes and thats why your loosing fluid.
