Whatever you do don't let Midas work on your car. That organization is a ripoff. Let a good mechanic do the work, just not there.

That little dash light tells you that a bulb is burned out. Mine came on too, and it took me a while to find the bulb. I had to have someone else hit the brakes with the lights on while I checked---low and behold....
