Daniel, are you also getting a "Brake System" warning and "ABS" warning on the dash? Also, if your car has traction control, does this automatically turn off when you get the brake system warning and hand brake light appearing?
There are a list of warnings here http://soarercentral.com/scforum/messages/1113/74535.html?1150010852
My car had a similar problem, 91 V8 Limited. Doug from sports and luxury fixed it up, i can give you a list of the parts he changed to fix it up.

The traction control OFF button is also the traction control ON button. But if your car is anything like mine was, your traction control will not come back on.
My car needed a Toyota Soarer TRC/brake switch ($102.00) and a second hand ABS TRC ECU ($380.00) to fix the problem. I'd probably start with the TRC/brake switch and then take it from there. I have no idea where these parts are, sorry i can't be of anymore help.
