This will 100% depend on what make and year the car is, but I will give you a few examples.
Before 1967 most cars had no brake fault warning light.
In 1967 cars were required to have "Dual Circuit Hydraulics" this system allowed the Manufacturers to build a simple Hydraulic balance switch mounted beside or under the Master Brake Cylinder to operate the brake system fault light. Usually has a single wire run to it.
The system in place since 1967 is still used, but most cars have brake fluid level sensors and Anti Lock Brake computers that also turn on the brake fault light.
