This may be a dumb reply, but is your fluid topped up? And I mean topped, not almost. I had the brake and VSA lights when I thought I had enough fluid in there, when I added enough to get it to the brim, the lights went out.

I'm re-opening this topic b/c I had the same thing happen this AM, did anyone get resolution to this?
I went out for lunch and parked my car and when I did, the VSA light was back on, then when I left from lunch, it wasn't on. Just getting a little concerned.

You didn't mention whether you check your brake fluid level. The only time my brake warning light has ever come on is when my brake fluid got low.
Do you think it would still be the fluids?

It's certainly worth the 30 seconds to pop the hood and double-check yourself. It's entirely reasonable to think that your dealer didn't do squat with your brake fluid. Dealers have done worse...

Brake fluid is purposely not topped off. The level is used as a reference to pad wear, and if they do need to do brakes, the level will overflow when the pistons are pushed back.
Last 3 cars I have seen with this issue all had low brake fluid.
