E-Brake light comes on when I floor it!

I gunned my car the other day, and my E-brake light came on. I did today, and it did the same. It goes off, after I leave off the gas. Is that normal? what could it be?

This question's been asked MANY times in the past few months. You're low on brake fluid. Fill it up and the light won't come on anymore. You look further into it and see why you're low on brake fluid.

check your pad wear, sorry im late, but a low pad will increase the volume of the brakes. With more volume and same amount of fluid, it becomes low!! Replace brake pads, or add fluid.
