Are you sure your handbrake is off totally, its possible to drive with it on a bit and the car doesn't like that
Strange that its not the fluid level and you don't have wear sensors on the LC....hmmmmm??

Check the small plug under neath the handle is secured together tight. I hit a bump in the road once and it came on. I **** and wondered WTF was going on. The handbrake was off fully and it gives the most annoying beeps until about 20 mins later. Found the plug was nearly out.
