Check your brake fluid resovoir. The handbrake light also comes on when you are low on brake fluid. You probably need to top it off.

Possibly low fluid. If so, check your break pads. It's a possibility your pads are low and with the brakes piston fully extended, the fluid may be low.

It'll happen when you press the brake peddle.

Drove around the whole day today with frequent braking, no light. I guess my brake pads aren't that bad yet.
