Hi, I've noticed lately my Brake light on the dash will come on while I'm boosting. Not all the time but it does it randomly. I checked my fluids and the levels are good. Sam at GTM confirmed it isn't something he programmed with UPREV as a warning light, which makes me feel better.

I'm just wondering if this is a random glitch or if it means something funny is going on with the car. She runs flawless otherwise. Could it be something related to an electrical glitch, a sign of the alternator going bad (less than 14k miles on the car), or something brake or traction control related? Could it be cuz I'm losing some traction while it is boosting so the brake light trips slightly before the VDC kicks on?
