Hi there make sure that the brake fluid level is correct and if that is so the sensor in the master cylinder is faulty. If the sensor is the one in the reservoir, to warn you that the fluid is too low, then you need to replace it or add more brake fluid. Normally that sensor has a floating device built into it, maybe it’s stuck in the down position and a little “wack” might knock it loose.

If the sensor is part of the master cylinder or proportioning valve, the flute valve rod inside it is still tripped. Sometimes that valve cant be reset and you have to buy a new component.
