or it could be one of your light bulb is about to go out. it happened to me where all my lights worked fine, except one bulb looked dimmer than the other one. check it at night it's easier to spot.

Somebody in the trunk yelling to get out!

As folks said, warning can be for either bulbs out or low brake fluid.

Lol damn I had to laugh at that, I'll check brake fluid later because all my lights are fine so hopefully the fluid will solve the issue. I did notice one or two LED's are out on my spoiler but that wouldn't cause it right? They have been out for awhile.

OMG!!!!

Seriously, its from the Lamp Failure Module. Its because you have a bulb/LED that has blown. You will get this also if you have LED tail lights without the resistors.

It means your car is armed... it will be shooting six lazer beams out of your rear, once the flux capacitor is fully charged.
