Brake warning light problem

What are the factors that triggers the brake warning light?
I can think of
1. parking brake
2. low brake fluid
anything else?

it's wierd my car started to flash warning lights when i'm driving hard in canyons.
When my car is sliding, or going over bumps, it flashes.
and my brakes felt vibrating on hard braking so there is something wrong.

My pads are quite worn I noticed, but why does the light come on when I'm not on brakes?

checked fluid and it was about in the middle of min and max line

my brakes
Front: legacy B4RSK caliper (probably same as WRX), AP Lockheed pads
Rear: Legacy disk brakes, endless pads
Motul DOT4 brake fluid and SS lines

any thoughts?

It's the fluid sloshing around fill the fluid to the max line that should help.
