Question Brake pad warning light

the brake pad warning light came on after taking a sharp left hand corner and stayed on for the duration of the journey.The light did not come on again when I drove the car later in the day.Are the pads finished or is this a loose connection?
TIA

I'd bet your brake fluid's low. I've got a C2 Turbo so I'm not sure if the brake resevoir's the same but...

Check both sides because there are more then one chamber within the resevoir. It can look like the resevoir is full if you only look at the front. I've got a leaky clutch slave cylinder and had the light come on.

Your pads might be all worn or your loosing fluid somewhere...hope this helps.

Brake fluid ok,but would the pressure/fluid level light not come on instead if the brake fluid was low?
Anyway the light has not come on again.
Thanks
