This may be a stupid question, but have you checked the pads? Uhh, or is that a different light?

OK, first,

What year and model?

Second, get under the car and actually check the pads. Usualy, when the light goes off, it means you have about 2-3K miles left before the pads start cutting into the rotors.

What is the exact message? Does it read, "Brake Circuit Error"? If so, thats a common problem and I have the article that details the fix for it.
