Last week, my brake light started coming on in the morning time once I start driving. It would stay on for a brief moment and then it would go off. What could be the reason?

You mean the brake warning light in dashboard? If so than check brake fluid level.

Yes, it's the brake warning light on the dashboard. I forgot to mention that I checked the brake fluid and it is on the full level.

Since fluid is full then most likely the brake pads are worn out and need replacing, inspect the pads thicknesses.
