Default Service Engine Soon question

Was curious if the Brake Fluid container has a sensor on it that would through the Service Engine Soon light on for any reason? Basically I get the light on after drive for 20 miles or so.. It comes on and stays on.. I turn the car off for a while and the next day its off and if i drive it for about 20 miles it comes on again. I was checking everything today and noticed Brake fluid was leaking a little bit, But i was not sure if that can through the light on?

Low fluid level in the master cylinder could cause the red brake lamp or yellow ABS lamp to illuminate but not the SES. Use the link below to pull codes stored in the ECM, there should be a history code stored for the problem that is causing the SES light.
