Narrative:

Inside the FAF on a visual approach backed up with ILS to 31R. We were about 1800 [ft] with the autopilot engaged. It was intermittent light chop. We got a pull up warning light; with no aural alert. The captain commanded a go-around; which we executed. ATC gave us instructions to track inbound and climb to 2000 [ft]. We got vectors back on a right; downwind for 31R. We then got cleared for the visual approach to 31R again. This was hand flown backed up with the ILS to a normal landing.
