Default gas = dash brake light

a 99 civic ex with the d16y8 engine...

when i gas... the brake light on the dash comes on... it'll stop blinking again after about 2 seconds i let off the gas... turns back on when i hit the gas (one second delay) it almost looks like it's displaying a CEL... but the CEL light does come on... and the actual CEL does work like normal... turn key to "on" without starting engine.. and it'll "click off" after like 6 seconds... what's wrong with the car?

Your brake fluid could be low, and as you're accelerating, it's sloshing away from the float. My girlfriend's car was doing that until we replaced her pads and got her fluid flushed and topped off.
