Don't know about the bass, but I'd expect the pentosin level to be at the 
lower side (most likely) of minimum.  Easy test is unplug the connector and 
see if the light doesn't come on any more -- better yet, check for pentosin 
seepage.  Also, make sure your parking brake switch is adjusted properly.  If 
the lever is JUST resting on the switch, this could cause the symptoms you 
describe.
