May just need new brake pads. Disconnect the battery for about 2 or 3 minutes, reconnect it and see if the light comes on right away. Whatever the cause, it needs to be addressed asap. your brakes are not something to put off. Consider buying a Chilton or Haynes repair manual for your car, you can find most answers in there with a little reading.
