Brake lining wear warning? Are you getting anything on the one line display? Low hydraulic fluid? Check the handbrake is 100% down and not coming up slightly, and is also contacting the switch to turn the warning on the dash off. Without seeing your car I'm guessing in the dark.

 

So:

 

1. Brake pad wear or loose wire to pads.

2. Hydraulic level - check under bonnet. Search elsewhere on this forum for procedure to check level.

3. Hand brake warning light switch iffy - check under handle.

 

HTH.

since you have checked all that try checking the brake lights and see if they are working. i had a similar prob that came up as soon as i changed a jammed hand brake cable. but just dont worry it should sort itself out on its own....
