Check brake fluid warning

My DIC displayed check brake fluid along with service traction control and active handling. After a couple of minutes the check brake fluid message would go away, but the service traction control and active handling would remain. I checked the brake fluid level and it's fine. Normally the message and light comes on after the car had sat for 12 hours. If the car is ran then turned off for about 15 min and started again the light and messages take much longer to come on. I have a Diablo trinity tunner. When I scanned for DTC codes it wasn't showing any code. Any thoughts?

Can I simply add more brake fluid or is it more involved than that?

I had a similar issue with my 2009 coupe. Light would come on sometimes. Turned out to be the master cylinder. Brake booster was replaced also... Good luck.
