Handbrake light on

Hello everybody. I have a problem with my handbrake indicator in the console. It remained on although the handbrake is already disengage....all the way down. I noticed this just this morning though I used the car last night and I haven't noticed the handbrake light is on. Would it be;

1. Overnight was cold and this morning it was -4C with windchill = -14C. Maybe the sensor was frozen?
2. Brake fluid is below min.
....

I still drove the car and I don't feel any abnormalities in braking. Do I have to bring it right away to the shop to have it checked?

Pls. I need your opinions...Thanks in advance..

Jaytoo

oh, you should never fill up brake fluid right away, check you brakes for how much wear is applied, then fill a bit, just to min. You dont want to overflow the master cylinder resevior when putting on new brake pads.
