This was the trick on our ex-Milano for the brake indicator; the one with the 
disk graphic is, if it's like the one on the GTV6, supposed to be a pad wear 
indicator.  Assuming your pads are OK, there maybe a different short causing 
this one to light.

My personal solution on the GTV6 (do not let this get around): disconnect the 
wear sensor leads.  You should be regularly checking your brake pads for wear 
anyhow so this little feature is silly.  One man's opinion.
