Default Hand Brake light comes on when going full throttle!!

Whenever I step on the gas, in the higher rpms, the e-brake light comes on. when i come off the gas it turns off.

why is this happening?

Did you buy the car used? Does it have VTEC? Could be a VTEC light wired to the ebrake light.

Why would being low on brake fluid cause his e brake light to come on? I never heard of that so i thought to ask.

First time it happened to me (when I had a leaking caliper) I killed myself trying to figure out what it was, thought it was something with the e-brake
