Brake symbol turns off delayed after engine start

Hi,
I recently noticed the brake symbol turning off with a short delay when I start the engine.
It's about 1...2 seconds, but no longer than PS, ABS etc. stay on.
Is there an issue about to come or can I let my diag interface stay where it is?

Brake symbol should turn on and off with your handbrake.

On Yaris with ABS, the brake light is an indicator for the ebrake as well as a secondary warning light for the ABS. I found this out experimenting with clusters. If you install an ABS equipped cluster in a non-ABS Yaris the brake light stays on.

So it does of course ;)
However, I wondered why it was on while the brake wasn't engaged
