If it's the e-brake, it's likely not hydraulic. The cable linkage is probably loose/stretched, allowing the handle to move enough under acceleration to close the switch, which causes the light to come on. There should be a way to adjust the cable tension. May want to check the FSM.

The light will come on if your fluid level is low. Top off your brake fluid. If you cant find any leaks in the system you might want to look into a new master/slave combo (I always replace both when one goes bad).
