It means either you have a bulb out, your ebrake isn't all the way down, or your switch/ wiring is bad.

Just unscrew the brake cap and screw it back on.

Yup. Or cap isn't on correct. Check this first. I think if your fluid sensor comes ulplugged it may throw on the light as well.

You guys are getting confused, he said brake lamp light, not brake light, 2 different warning lights that do totally different things.

If the 2 on the body work, check the high mount, there are 2 bulbs in there and even if 1 is out you'll get that light since the system works on resistance. Next, check all FOUR bulbs to make sure they are the right ones for the car, even if they light up the amount of resistance in the circuit could be wrong causing the light. Last would be to check the sensors, they're in the tail lights, if you really need to go that far which they rarely fail I have the Honda ETM w/diagrams.
