brake LAMP light or brake warning light?
lamp means a bulb is burnt out
warning light may be the sensor in the master cyl cap - that slider gets bad and throws a light,,new cap 35$ new master cyl 85 (aftermarket prices)

after bleeding the brakes- note: the special TL order is driver front then clockwise around the car LF RF RR LR
Then you MUST go do 2 stops from 45mph with the ABS active- pulsing the pedal under your foot
If the pedal feels firmer on 2nd stop- you had air in the controller
that procedure rids any trapped air in the controller and sends it to the calipers
rebleed all and that problem is solved

Thanks for the info.
It's a break lamp light...check all the break lights and they are fine.
Let me guy know on the procedure.

Check again, they are dual filament bulbs

Also, check brake pads if lamp goes on/off when reservoir fluid is at proper level and not the float malfunction.

It's not break light bulbs....has custom skyline tail lights.
break lamp warning lights comes and goes.far as ABS and TCS lights staying on ...took the car to dealer and they said it was ABS module.so i bought a used one locally and I had my guy put a used one in and he took it same dealer reset the code.it went off for few miles and TCS and ABS lights came back on again..took it right back to reset the codes again and it did it again..tech at the dealership doesn't know why this is happening...he'll check into it.he told us that it was ABS module first time and now he doesn't know?
anyone else had this problem?

you installed a used unit- so the tech doesnt know if its a bad unit or something else is also wrong beyond that
some probs are like that--one fix uncovers the next prob

Some background on this story would help--accident , car parked a year,???

you could try a brake specialty shop for better help than the dealer sometimes
they see more brake problems on average~

your custom taillights may be the culprit on the warning lamp-
assuming you have LEDs now:
did you install a resistor to compensate for LED lower draw? otherwise the system thinks a bulbs is out and throws a light

the abs should throw a code for the acura tech- they have a special abs reader.
specialty shop should have one also,,
average repair shop will not

the acura tech is probably looking thru the TSB `technical service bulletins` to see if anyone else has found this prob and the cure
thats what TSBs are for- sharing information on freaky problems
