Most likely the wear sensor for the pads needs to be replaced. There is one in the front, and one in the rear brakes. Once the coating is worn away and it lights, it has to be replaced. They're less than $15ea.
It could also indicate the mileage interval to replace the brake fluid, but that usually displays near the maintenance/oil change display.
