The squeal is a warning device installed on your vehicle telling you that your brake pads are worn out. The light is coming on because you have a problem. Have your braking system inspected ASAP. Do not ignore this or you will end up replacing the rotors and spending more money. You may also end up having an accident due to defective brakes.
