Narrative:
At approximately 110 KTS (43 KTS below the V1 speed) the left engine start valve light illuminated and remained on. The decision was made to abort the takeoff and return to the terminal area. The arff was called to check on the brake condition as the brake temperature rose to approximately 400 degrees centigrade. The aircraft was stopped short of the terminal until the brake was verified as to not being a safety factor and the aircraft returned to the gate. No further issues arose following the abort.
