I have a 97 civic ex, and under throttle the brake light comes on. It is the same light that comes on when you pull up the ebrake. What could be causing this?

Check your brake fluid reservoir, it may be the sensor telling you the reservoir is low.

you could have a leak somewhere check your car after leaving it in the driveway over night (this could also give you a good idea wear the leak probably is) also the fluid level was normal then all of a sudden dropped in the Reservoir deff means you have a leak some where the most commin place is were the wheel cylinder is or right by were the caliper is

Also check your linings in your drums and your caliper pads they may be worn that could be why the level is low because it takes so much fluid to fill the caliper piston or wheel cylinder becasue they are worn.. good luck

Check your fluid level but make sure it isn't low due to low brakepad/brakeshoe lining or it will overflow your reservoir when you put new brakes on.
