Check your front brake pads - they may need replacing. The wiring to the pads is very unreliable. Sometimes if it has rubbed on something, the covering allows the wire to be exposed, giving the same result as a worn pad.

If you've replaced the pads, check that the wiring isn't shorting. Worn discs wouldn't bring the light on. Has the orange light got an empty circle showing on it???

Check brake fluid and be on the safe side.
