When I had my 200 20V #2 inspected last year, that warning light
appeared after the put on the sticker. :)  They checked the fluid level.
I thought it might be the emergency brake.  What I learned is that when
the problem is the fluid level, the light doesn't glow as brightly as
when it is the e-brake.  

Pull up on the hand brake and see if the light gets brighter. If so, the
problem is fluid level related. If not, it's related to the e-brake.
At least, that's my understanding; I could be wrong.
