Default what does the round warning sign mean on the jdm EG clusters?

after installing the JDM EG6 cluster, I sometimes get a warning light with a " (O)" on the top right side in red. what is that?! I was wondering.

it goes on and off.. but is off most of the time.

It's for the e-brake. I have the same cluster. If it keeps going on and off you might have a short in the wires going to your e-brake.

I'm pretty sure it's the indicator letting you know the E-brake is on.

The O in the (O) is supposed to symbolize a brake rotor, and the the ( )'s symbolize the caliper engaging onto the rotor. Yes I know I worded that kinda weird.

It's also a brake fluid level light. It'll go on if your brake fluid is too low, so it might come on when you drive even if the parking brake is down.
