Default Warning light on dash

Can't for the life of me find this online and feel stupid for asking,I have a 98 gs400 and a red indicator light will come on every once in a while when driving the car,it's a red indicator with a circle and exclamation mark,it doesn't come on all the time but it's driving me nuts,I do believe it has something to do with the parking brake? Anyone else have a similar issue and can help me? Symbol looks like this ((!))

My 98 gs400 doesn't have this or at least I haven't paid attention. It's the tire pressure symbol. Meaning one of your tires is low on pressure. Also maybe needs to be recalibrated. Discount Tire offers free recalibrate on TPS.

Your brake fluid is most likely low. You may also have a leak, considering it's low; so check that out as well. Follow the instructions on the brake master reservoir and top it off and see if that works.

TPMS lights up yellow and 2GS don't have them.

Yep, brake fluid. Had mine come on this week occasionally, checked and saw fluid was low. Topped it up and she's sorted.
