2001 Toyota Camry Front Wheel Drive Automatic 34000 miles

Hi, I've owned this car for two months. (2001 Solara SLE Convt.)The brake light on the dash board came on (about a minute), went off, came on again, and went off. I took it to the dealership and they checked the brakes and said there was nothin wrong with it (This was the begining of last week) Last night it happened again, and then again this morning. Can you tell me why this car is doing this?
Thanks

This is the "Brake" light not the "ABS" light.

Check your brake fluid reservoir if it is in the full level. If it is low, it turns on the "brake" light. Or your hand brake might not be all the way down or your hand brake switch needs to be adjusted upwards a little.
