Default Light on my dash

When I accelerate, this light on my dashboard goes on:



When I stop accelerating, the light stops. This light normaly lights on when I apply my e-brake. Is there any other function, like oil-related or so? Or do I have only some bad wires to the light?

Thanks,
Petr

Check the level of your brake fluid. The light will also go off if it's low.

Yup! Brake fluid sloshing around will cause that light to go on/off. The cap of the brake fluid reservoir has a float that is the sensor for low brake fluid.

It "could" be a bad sensor on your e-brake... but I never heard of one doing that.

What MugenGuru said.
I had that happen once in the Si after changing pads at the track. The brake fluid was low and the light went off every time i accelerated. The light went off each time i braked as the fluid slushed in the reservoir. on the bright side, who needs brakes when accelerating?

that is his e-brake light, but it is only supposed to be on when the e-brake is on. in his case, the light turned on while accelerating. i don't know if you were being sarcastic or not, but if so, you suck at it. btw, it's low brake fluid.
