If the service engine light is on the computer has stored a problem code. Use a code scanner to find out what the code is. The computer has specific information about what is wrong with your vehicle, there is no need for anyone who has only read about your observations to guess. Code readers are available at most auto parts retailers. You can usually borrow, rent or buy one. Many auto parts retailers will let you borrow a code reader in hopes that you will buy the parts from them. The code readers are very easy to use and usually give you quite specific information about what's wrong. If the service engine light is on the computer has stored a problem code.

You should notice lack of power and a rough idle. If you are still running you are lucky; get it checked out ASAP. When this happened with my vehicle(grand am 2001 se), it was a module problem. Had to be replaced.

Can a brake problem cause the service engine light to come on?
What model do you have? I am saying no to your question. In most vehicles the service engine light deals with the operation of the "engine", igniton system, exhaust, and fuel system. If there is a problem with the brakes you could see an ABS light (if equiped) or a BRAKE! light on. If the Service engine soon light is on in your vehicle the problem lies in one of those systems. Good Luck
